Static buddy safety

[asher]

Hi, im new to freediving and these forums and i have a question im sure you guys will be able to answer. i have already searched but couldnt find anything relating to my question.

When doing a static practise or max attempt, how does your safety person tell if you have blacked out??

thanks in advance guys and what a great source of info this website is!

In the "Beginning Freediving" section where this post is - if you read the "How to start freediving" post by Akoni there is alot of very useful information in there including safety issues. Basically it states that during a static the diver must respond by a finger up signal at certain intervals - ie when times are called out and if the diver doesn't respond then he/she is to be rolled over etc - if you haven't read it yet then i highly recommend it - very useful.
