Hi all. I've been wanting to get into Abalone diving here is Northern California and need to be able to get to the point at which I can dive to around 10 meters and look for those tasty critters.
The questions I have regard training and technique.
In regards to training I understand that aerobic excerisize and breath holding are benficial. When it comes to breath holding is it good to do it out of the water or should I focus on doing it in the water because of the physiological effects the water has? Also is it preferable to do in cold water or warm water as I will be diving in relatively cold water?
The question I had regarding technique has to do with exhaling. As in do you exhale in the water and if so when and how much?
I was also looking into getting some reading material about freediving. Is the Manual of Freediving by Umberto Pelizzari any good, or is there something better to look into?
Sorry for the apparent noobie-ness of my questions, thanks in advance for the advice.
