I have been diving for 8 years,but never really looked at freediving until recently.
I don't plan on trying to shatter any records,but would like to maximize the time of my holds, to supplement my Navy SEAL/Combat Diving training.I also think it could help me with Rescue swimming(especially if someone is trapped deep underwater.)
I currently can get near 1:30 and near 2 min if I push it but get a little light headed when I get near 2min.
The problem is I travel around a lot doing some form of Combat,Rescue,and Survival training or doing marathon runs and swims so my schedule doesn't really allow for me to take on any more courses and I am wondering if it would be possible to train this alone or should I wait and try to find a freediver instructor when I have more time?
I will have some time freed up in about 7 months where I could do this,but not sure if there is anyone in Michigan that I could train with.
I know it would be better to train with an experienced person(for technique and saftey reasons) but,I'll admit I am a little impatient to wait 7 months before I start doing some freediving conditioning.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
