HI all
I am 22 years old and i live in Estonia , I have been dreaming of scuba and free diving since i was 8 years old and saw a movie a called The big Blue ( my all time favorite movie) . However for some reason i didn't do anything to help myself became a free and scuba diver . Well it was a bit complicated here too because of soviet union witch ended 1990.
So this year i was lucky enough to find a scuba diving school and started to learn to become a scuba instructor . But my real desire was always to be a free diver ,but it is very complicated cause IMO here in Estonia are still no free divers
So i though i should start holding my breath couple times every week and even made some progress . But i always felt that i need some help from people who are really experienced ,luckily i found this forum
I have some very dumb questions , and i ask them cause i really don't understand some of the things , i have read several posts here threads here but still some things remain unclear to me . I hope i don't piss off anyone here asking them .lol
Ok question nr.1 Co2 and O2 tables.
You guys have perfectly explained them but i didn't understand nothing
Is table just the name for it or there is somekind of special table that you must buy to be able to make those exercises :O
Then how is one table for Co2 and the other for o2 .
Can someone explain it like you would explain it step by step to a 4 year old child. please i really want to understand . My breath hold record (out of water ) is 3:40
Yes i have seen those
An example of a CO² Table:
1. ventilate 2:30 static 1:30
2. ventilate 2:15 static 1:30
3. ventilate 2:00 static 1:30
4. ventilate 1:45 static 1:30
5. ventilate 1:30 static 1:30
6. ventilate 1:15 static 1:30
7. ventilate 1:00 static 1:30
8. ventilate 1:00 static 1:30
total duration 25:15
But i don't understand how , or what i must do .
i also got a program called static trainer
intro
breath hold
initial rest time
decreased rest time by
Again i don't understand
The other question is :
I also started to train underwater swimming and for some reason i could only swim 20-22 meters without fins( i didn't have stopper but m guess is that it didn't take more than 25 seconds,i was probably using too much energy), all most as soon as i jumped into the water and could do only a few swimming moves i started feeling myself bad. Out of water it takes 2 minutes and 10 seconds to feel the pain(also my breath hold record is 3:40):S Why is there so big difference ? I have try ed swimming underwater 4 times in last 2 weeks and i could do 2 more meters last time cause i used more efficient swimming technique.
.I am not very talented in water but i want to improve so badly that i know i can make it with help , am willing to train as long and as much it takes.
Thank you for reading , anything might help
I am very happy to part of this great coomunity
