Hello, just got interested in freediving recently through some links about meditation. I'm a philosophy major and the zen aspect of freediving is what appealed to me. I've never actually been freediving, but I knew someone from my karate dojo named Ivan, very cool guy who unfortunately passed away a couple years ago while spearfishing. He had mentioned it once and it sounded pretty fun. I've spent alot of time in the water when i was younger as well.
I'm currently practicing my tables and after about a weeks worth of them i can keep my contractions from coming until 3:15 or so which is amazing considering i never thought i could hold my breath past 2:30. the tables really work! i will probably be taking my girlfriend on a snorkeling charter in the keys soon and maybe even take the Stepanek course in the summer, funds allowing. I hear a good local shop is Austins, but for now i'm just keeping an eye out for bargains on craigslist. If anyone has any other ideas for equipment let me know! thanks.
