Welcome KY and greetings from Cologne.

Being a newbie myself I am also looking for some people to just exchange topics around freediving and Spearfishing.

Do you also go spearfishing?

Hi “KY Stark“
Welcome on “deeper blue“ :)
You have a large natural swimming pool with the "Kreide-See"
Do you have a video of your “raid“ there?

Hi “Bjburn“
I assume you have already dived at "Dive4live" in Siegburg?
I dived there 2 times, it was very nice and before they settled a "great white shark"



I too hunt fish but only with my video camera ;)
2 examples below ( please choose 1080p resolution)

Indonesia Kri n°1 2017


Red sea 2018 n° 5 (Zerib Kebir)



@ “KY Stark“ and “Bjburn“
You said you were: beginner and newbie!
Are you member of “AIDA“or “PADI“ or another ?
I have been an AIDA 3* (+ others) for several years… I started snorkeling / apnea in 1965 !

good apnea

Hi dcvf,

thanks for your tips. I wanted to do a freediving course at the „dive 4 life“. I guess then I will find out about AIDA and Co. :)


But I don‘t know how expensive a normal training session would be. Still have to investigate a little.

PS: Great footage! I suppose you did film it with sonething other than a GoPro?

Best & Many thanks

Hi “Bjburn“ :)

I followed the AIDA courses in Belgium for several years (after having followed the courses : Liras, "Apnea Academy", and later SSI Freediver to be authorized to dive at NEMO33)

Regarding the prices, they were 50 € per * and the different courses are: *, **, ***, **** and after: Instructors from * … ****

Below prices are more expensive

Yes, I do freediving video (since Oct. 2007 with a Sony DCR-HC96E) and with a Sony HDR AS-50 since May 2016.
Sony HDR-AS50 it cost 1/3 of the last Gopro !


Details of my DIY wing, picture 1 and 2 ( on my forum … in french)
I use the version on picture 2 without lighting system

Before filming I took pictures with a "Calypso Nikor », details here below
