I am new to freediving, coming from a scuba/snorkel background. I have read several accounts of divers having close calls when unexpected events happen preventing them from returning to the surface eg. tangled in kelp or getting stuck in some rocks while looking for fish to spear etc.
Has anyone ever considered having a little spare-air stapped on a waist or arm in the event of an emergency situation?
I know this is probably against the idea of being 'free' and may conflict with the pure and simple approach to freediving, but I am just curious what you think. Maybe the spearfishing guys would be more likely to consider something like this - since extra equipment is involved already.
