need advice again

[popac]

do you know some good diving places in Croatia?
will it do a great difference in my time ,static or dynamic if i stop smoking ?
Does alcohol affect on results?
I know the physiology well,infact i'm a molecular biology student but i'm not familiar with the actual results of quitting cigarettes or avoiding alcohol in order to improve my results.




Thanx

Quitting smoking will definately improve your breath hold capability in any discipline as well as your overall fittness level, I quite a couple of years ago and did wonders for me. I have no idea if alcohol has a lasting affect cant imagine it does much harm in moderation (saying that we dont dive under the influence is stating the obvious I hope) I drink a fair bit (when I can) and my breath hold times are reasonable aparently.
