surface breathing/beathups for spearing

[apnea_beast]

i've been spearin since i was a kid and have gotten more serious in the past couple years. right now I focus on relaxing, belly breathing and slow exhalation. i also try to avoid hyperventilation.

what would you guys recommend for surface breathing or breathups when spearfishing?

That's what I do. Anything beyond that is more for apnea training. Spearfishing requires being quiet and skulking about for long periods (hours). The more involved breathup is really more for that one shot (time, depth, or distance).
