Hi all, emigrated with my wife and black labrador dog to Tenerife in April 2012 from the UK. Stuck on this wonderful island now for maybe the rest of my life and just had to find something to do. I'm middle aged and had to retire from competitive running a few years ago due to wear n tear! Started life as a track athlete then moved up to 10k, marathon and even ultra distance running.
Came to the island to chill out and find a replacement non impact sport. Started snorkelling over here three months ago and then started holding my breath and staying longer and getting deeper under the deep blue sea. Using the internet to find out about safety and breathing techniques Im now able to go 9 to 10 meters deep. On land I could only hold my breath for just over a minute and half. The other day I managed 3 mins and 3 secs. I think freediving is for me. I dont want to compete but just be able to see how deep and how long I can go without rushing. I have all the time in the world.
Pleased to have found and joined this website forum and hope to gain a wealth of important information. Anyone here in Tenerife?
