I did a SSI lvl 1 course with Blue Immersion in Koh Tao. So hooked!

I've gone from a 40m DYN to 85m and 1:30 STA to 3:20 in the space of a month. There's nothing quite like initial improvement to motivate.

The biggest improvement has come from relaxation. I got myself a watch, started pool training once a week at MSAC and doing daily dry tables/walking apnea, but I think much of it has been mental adaptation.

I'm going to have a bunch of questions. :) Also, I'm wondering there are other freedivers in Melbourne, particularly the western suburbs. There's a fantastic outdoor pool in Werribee and I'm keen to do more pool training, or even some open water stuff.

G'day Tim, welcome to the forums!

There are plenty of Melbourne freedivers floating around (see what I did there? :D ) , the best way to get in touch with them would be to jump on the Australian Freediving Association page and post something up there, I know there's plenty on there. Ant Williams, a top kiwi freediver just moved to Melb too though i'm not sure exactly where.
