28 year old male. Triathlete, cyclist, runner, swimmer, diver.

I'm looking for a safety minded breath hold/freediving partner to practice buddy rescue, static apnea, and diving to depths of around 10-15m (30-50') in the Austin Texas area.

My experience is:

breath hold, land: 2:45 max with my average first attempt reaching 1:40 and my average is about 2:00.
breath hold, water: 1:15, I have the ability to go longer but won't do so without a partner.
breath hold, while swimming with fins in a straight line at 18 feet: :50
breath hold, swimming without fins in a straing line at 18 feet: 1:05
Distance covered with fins on a breath: about 100' and 18' depth.
Distance covered without fins on a breath: about 60' and 10' depth.
Static Apnea: unknown, lifeguards usually fuss with me, I don't taunt them.

I'm looking for 18 yo or older partner, male or female, who is in my comfort zone and highly dedicated.
