Following on from my thread about Statics - I'm also interested to know how people prepare for a competitive constant weight dive.
My warm up usually goes something like this:
Pull down and hang for a minute at around 15m
Pull down to around 2/3 of my target depth
Fin down to around 1/2 my target depth
but I vary it a lot, especially when its cold when I hardly do any preparation dives at all
In putting together the saltFree UK Champs I have been asking people what depth they need the warm up lines to go to. The intriguing result is that all the "shallower" people I have asked want the warm up lines quite deep relative to their performance dive. All the "deeper" people say they don't go much past 15m on a warm up and save themselves for the dive
Some people do no in water warm up at all
Your views? I'm amazed how differently we all build up to the same kind of result
