Hi all
I'm relatively new to freediving.
I have done apnea total level 1 course.
I went to 20 meters (feet first free immersion, had problems equalising)
But only because my instructor was very good telling me on the surface that I was able to do it and shouldn't respond to the vagus nerve wanting me to quit the dive.
But now I'm struggling getting past 15 meters every single dive since diving alone (not alone alone of course, but without instructor).
I find it difficult to challenge the vagus nerve. Are there any exercises I can do dry or is it only possible to train during actual diving, and how do I train it during actual diving???
I kind of panick when it kicks in, and it is really annoying since I have been doing 2 minute dives to 10 meters sitting at the bottom, so I know I have the air, but just can't push my self against the nerve.
Might be stupid question, hope not. Couldn't find anything on the topic in here. Hope you guys can help!
Thanks!!!
