Also, I would like to apologize for derailing the thread. I'm feeling quite Ill after diving all weekend and was just trying to get some tips.

That all makes sense. I'll treat it more like being at the gym. On a side note, what can I expect to be different when I add fins? Will I need to alter the way I do anything or just get use to them?

That sounds like a good plan. I do have one last question tho. How long should you have between dives and how many dives per day? I dive without fins or weight for the time being and it leaves me totally exhausted for the next few days.

Welcome, I was reading your other posts... If you are already comfortable at 35 ft very little we can help you with, you need to listen to your body and hook up with a more experienced diver to help you work on your form, weight and technique. But you are already there if you can shoot a fish in 35 foot of water.

thanks
I can dive in a spring to 35'. I have yet to shoot a fish and im sure its a little different.how will the spring diving translate to open water? I just wasnt wanting to bite off more then i can chew and end up being a pain in someones backside.

I have searched for clubs in the area and have come up empty. also all of the classes i have found are quite a ways away so it makes for some planning problems. I definitely plan on doing the classes but until i can make it happen i am stuck with the resources at hand. I am just anxious because i want to start fishing but i know for it to be safe i need to concentrate on the diving aspect first.

Good shot man

I guess i can answer this on my own but what would your advise be for someone that doesnt have someone experienced to show them the ropes? I have looked into the classes and will go that route but should I not dive until i can attend a class? I am keeping dives to around 35' just because i am unsure. im not uncomfortable there. just unsure how to progress.

Great vid. thanks for sharing!

I have read thru all the replies on this thread and as a beginner, Both sides make sense. So if it was your spouse or child that was brand new to freediving, How would you have them train? I have looked thru many threads on here and there is alot of good information. a lot of this information contradicts itself too.

hello everyone. I recently moved to north central florida from Colorado. I have been diving the springs in the area and have been acquiring the gear to start spearfishing. So i am a total newbie and welcome all advice.
