    welcome...sounds like you have a lot to teach about diving while learning a lot about spearing. good luck with your recovery



    just so you know, this is a freediving site...we all are open minded and welcome new perspectives, but please keep things focused and on topic :)

    surrender the booty??... <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

    here is a reference to using medications like sudafed before diving


    nasal spray containing substances like Xylometazoline, Oxymetazoline or Tramazoline and pills containing pseudo-ephedrine (pseudo-ephedrine is related to adrenaline) like Sudafed®.
    In spay additives and preservatives like benzalkonium are often used which hurts the cilia which are part of the cilia mucous system which keep your sinuses and ears healthy.
    In scuba diving it is advised against diving deeper than 30 meters or using nitrox on Sudafed because it could adversely affect susceptibility to nitrogen narcosis and oxygen poisoning (source: www.duiken.nl). Sudafed should possibly be considered more dangerous in freediving for in freediving it has more negative side effects like decreased bottom time, the heart is under more stress from freediving than from scuba diving and nitrogen-narcosis effects are worst when you descend fast.
    If you need decongestants to be able to freedive or have a cold: skip the dive

    i also read somwhere that taking decongestant medicines can help with equalization ,but they can cause reverse block which is the opposite of equalization.

    coffee is a stimulant, it will increase your heart rate. it will definetly kill your bottom time/
    I remember taking a sudafed once before diving, it is made from Pseudoephedrine. needless to say i should have stayed at home instead.

    How do you guys dive??? At least for me its the only way I can dive well. It seems when I put any food in my stomcah my dive times are cut in half.


    Ive experimented eating something lite, and eating breakfast.. and it is shit.
    The night before diving I have dinner with a good amount of carbs to last me the next day and I will just drink water and gatorade throughout the diving day.

    Dan , I didn't need the cream to get your ass , so I got a lttle surpriced to see you mention it. maybe it's starting to hurt.


    on the other hand I mentioned a cream because I don't recall where i read that they were experimenting with the skin of the shark in some way , like a cream . or something.


    All that over a mutton, i remember that day <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
