Hi guys I have recently got into free diving although I am facing some issues as it is getting colder.
I have made the switch over to my 5mm wetsuit to compensate for the cold but now no matter how much weight I seem to put on I'm struggling to keep myself submerged in 2 metres of water (there is some nice scars and rock pools I am wanting to ivestigate).
I haven't had any issues in deeper water, as soon as I pass about 20 feet I seem to equalise and I just hover so to speak but even with my 5kg weight belt and 6kg sled weight in the shallows I just cannot hold the sea floor.
Any tips or if I'm missing something glaringly obvious, it would be greatly appreciated
