  • I wont go past 65 ft.

    Thanks for more tips.


    I get it. It's comfort level and not pushing when alone. I'm quite comfortable there, so I have a "superman" feeling that I can go further. I won't. Unless I got a buddy watching.


    I should concentrate more on spearing fish than depth. I actually started freediving before spearing, just an evolution on my end. Just trying to change my mindset.


    Best regards.

  • I wont go past 65 ft.

    I don't know.


    This is the limit I set myself. I always dive alone so I gotta watch out for myself. But I feel I can go past 65 ft. and wanna do it, but I FEAR the BO.


    I feel that the FEAR limits my potential.


    I can't get a buddy because there's only about 50 freedivers (that know what to do incase of BO and I don't know them) out of 100 million people in my country.


    Basically, I'm just asking from your experience. Is hovering around 65 ft safe enough? Can I go deeper? I just have so many doubts because of the FEAR.


    Thanks!

  • SHARK ATTACK 02/08/14 AU, Spearo missing.

    Yes, sharks should be harvestable (except the whale shark).


    I don't know what's on the agenda of these "conservationists?"


    These fish kill us. Yet, they always say that it's our fault for being on "their" property.


    Heck, the ocean is big real estate, yet they choose to hang out near the shore. Why? To hunt us, of course. Easy pickings for them.


    It should be fair game. At least for our safety and other swimmers that enjoy the ocean.


    Thanks.

  • Blood presure and med guestion w/ freediving

    Hi Don,


    Your BP does not seem that high. I've been afflicted with hypertension for the past 15 years. I'm at 140/100 with no meds. I don't know about your Dr.'s advice, but mine told me that it's OK to freedive, but not Scuba. That's why I've quit Scuba. It's about the Nitrogen getting in your bloodstream with the Scuba tank.


    So which is which? Now, I'm confused too... :)


    But freediving not more than 65ft. makes me feel less worried than Scuba at 65 ft. So I guess being less worried lowers my BP naturally and that's all for the better.


    Ask him about this medicine: Twynsta. It's the one that has stabilized mine for the past 2 years.


    Sometimes after a relaxing day in the water, I check my BP and it's 90/60 :) It works well.


    Here's to good health!
