Hi guys,
Found this forum about a week ago and ever since I am hanging out here in the cyberspace reading and learning - loads of great stuff!
I have been skindiving/freediving for fun but I want do it properly for safety reasons but also to improve me abilities under water - i can share with you my dream, swimming with a pod of dolphins at 25m - Lungfish I think has that pleasure already!
So, next thing is to decide what formal training (e.g. AIDA) is good to start with and where i can do it. I am right now located in Budapest, Hungary (no sea within 700km...) but i am ready to get myself down to any place, though the closer the better.
My PB on static is 3.45min a couple of days ago after doing for the first time the O2 static tables, while on the dynamic is about 35m (without fins, never tried in a pool with fins yet!). As for constant weight i would only guess it's below 20m yet again, I never had the chance to do it in a proper set-up though I recall going down to 18m (had a dive computer with me) without fins while skindiving with friends in Turkey.
That's where I stand and ready to get started - any suggestion will be appreaciated. Dont wanna rush into things and will take it bit by bit but I really want to get started before summer even if i have to fly to Egypt or elsewhere - this forum was an inspiration and a call for challenge
