I feel bad in area "7". I have a lactic acid shock(?) between ?34m and ?26m alltimes! I heard this experience from all my friends too.
If you can overcome this painful area verry fast, you will have an easy time still the surface (and a smile in your face). If I can not made this area as soon as possible (if the lactid pains brake my movement) I will feel bad after the 25m-mark further and I will have problems with my consciousness (near LMCs still bad BOs....)
If I made the dive clear, the next muskelpain is comming 5-10 sec after surfacing. (Is it a lactid shock too or a Nitrogen-problem?)
In CW I have the pain in my legs only. In CNF I have this pain in my whole body.
!!!The maximum depth is not decisive for the marks of "area 7". Important is that the dive is more than 95% from the personal best in this disciplin. (in my case is it in: FIM more than 75m, CNF more than 60m, CW more than 65m).

THE LACK OF A MIND BARRIER
If you think it is hard to dive to 45-50 - it sure will be. Freediving methods and training has come so far that 50 meter is not a deep dive - this is still amateur level.
Any half decent body, with normal ears can do 50 meters. As in other sports it is just about training. Some people go into the sea - dive to 28 - fails to equalize - and conclude that that was the end of their "freediving career".
Do your static, do your walking apnea, do your dynamics, do your negatives, learn the frenzel, focus on your relaxation, and do the dives - many - 45-50 will soon come. But only if you have the rope, the lanyard, the depth and the buddy - without a feeling of safety you get nowhere.
I did a PB to about 60 with Bill as safety once - partly because I borrowed a monofin, but mainly because I was diving with a safety that knew what it was all about. Dive with deep people and you yourself will go deep!
