I have the Outex bag for a camera, and it's leaking a bit time to time, and I'm scared of diving with it. Also the flat port is not optimal for wideangle lenses underwater, as the corners of the image get quite blurry. For pictures on the surface and just below it is ok as a waterproofing solution.

The negative pressure in the mask can pull some blood out from the nose/sinuses. The pressure from the mask will also make equalizing the ears more difficult. So when you feel the mask getting tight, it's better to first equalize the mask and then the ears.

There are 2 main equalizing techniques, Valsalva and Frenzel. Valsalva is not good for freediving. Frenzel can take some time to master, if you're not doing it naturally, however it is a superior technique. Also many people equalize partly with Valsalva and partly Frenzel.

Thanks for the info Dan! My pockets are 41-43. The LF blades are very soft, and I don't get the power I'd want out of them, they'll just bend out of shape...

Hi, I have Omer Millennium pockets with Leaderfins Waves soft blades (fiberglass/carbon). I feel that the tendons are too stiff for the blades, the blade bend is more L-shape rather than an arch. Do you guys think modifying the tendons (shorter/narrower) would help, or should I just get stiffer blades?

These are shot by Fred Buyle. They are all real and shot while freediving.

Hi, I just joined the board.

I'm finnish, but currently living in Philippines. Mostly I'm freediving but also fishing time to time.
