Hi ,thanks for the video,, I consider my self intermediate free diver , recently I did level 2 SSI , maximum depth 30 meter and I'm willing to take it to the next level,, you think I should do this tables? Twice a week and beside that what else I should do as training?
Using your 4 min. table (2 min hold, 2 min breathe) I was able to easily hold my breath for 2 minutes, again and again. There were almost no abdominal contractions. Your advice to not push yourself made it possible. I've never, NEVER been able to go over 90 seconds in my life. Thanks!
@@flamewing7680 I can't believe these low figures. I thought everyone could do about 3 minutes? I could as a child, and I virtually never swam anywhere and never practised. The first time is always about 2 minutes, then 2:30, then 3. Just keep your mouth shut, it's not rocket science.
@@lambertovitali3152some people have weaker lungs. I used to be able to hold for over two minutes while swimming, but my lungs got weaker after repeatedly getting sick the last few years. I can only hold for about forty seconds now. Also, everyone is different. No need to be so condescending to people who are trying to improve.
What I do to convince my body to hold its breath longer is don't imagine the feeling in your lungs as the need to breathe, just imagine it as an uncomfortable feeling, and try to forget about breathing. Works for me, and gets the feeling of needing to breath out of my head.
Just getting into freediving/spearfishing in the northern Gulf of Mexico and have not had the chance to take a class but have learned a ton from your videos. Can't say how much I appreciate them.
It has so much to offer. I'm mainly diving off the coast of Louisiana so it's full of oil rigs which hold tons of fish and makes for awesome underwater scenery. I've mainly been chasing smaller snapper but have run across many species. I have so much to learn but have been practicing 2-3 days a week in the pool. Such a rewarding activity.
Thank you, Adam. As a 15-16 year old, my record for holding my breath while inactive (lying on the bed) was 4:02. I loved the peace and sensation of not breathing and used to often spend more time underwater than above it when in a pool or lake. The only time I competed in an Olympic Pool, I swam 75 metres underwater (at the same age) ... but I never thought of diving particularly deep. I always battled equalising pressures and my ears hurt. Now that I am an older man, you are inspiring me to return to holding my breath while resting and taking apnoea walks! Your enthusiasm is contagious, and you have inspired me. Thank you
@@UnblackedMan I am no expert, Creative. I am sure there are TH-cam videos that will explain far more than I ever knew. My belief at the time was that it was important to be very fit aerobically. I did lots of calisthenics and distance running and swimming (and other activities). I am guessing that a very fit heart and better hemoglobin blood content means a lower pulse rate and more efficient transfer and use of oxygen around the body. Even at my age and very unfit, my resting heart rate is around 55. It was lower as a teenager. I breathed deeply beforehand ... approaching hyperventilation. Lying calmly and almost in a meditative state is vital ... enjoying the peace and the experience. As the carbon dioxide builds and the body wants to fight to breathe, there is still half a minute to a minute of air and conscious resting if you can relax and learn to 'ignore' the body's reflex. That, actually, is the biggest battle. I also used to practise regularly when walking around ... just randomly holding my breath (e.g. walking past smokers) for 30-60 seconds or more. That becomes an art, especially if you had just breathed out. In short, constant practice, I guess. I hope you can learn good habits from people far more experienced than I ever was. I was entirely self taught :P. Best wishes to you!
@@trxszyHimself Thank you, J3s1xr. I had never heard of this method and have just looked it up. When I get fitter and get back to diving again, I will try the method/technique. I appreciate your thoughtful help! Thank you.
Yo, thankyou so much, I showed this video to a friend and he has been holding his breath for a day or two, he hasn't moved. He's gonna be so happy when i tell him his time
How could anyone give this video a thumbs down. I swear there are just ppl going on TH-cam clicking thumbs down on every video they see. Its awesome and thanks so much for the video. I'm watching them all!
I always wanted to start freediving training by myself, but all the tables and explanations really scared me. You got me back into it and my breath-holding on land increased! Thank you so much. :3
Thanks Adam. Your vids are the best source of rational, professional free diving training I have ever seen, anywhere. I recently did a Free Diving certificate in Panglao, Philippines (Bohol) and it effectively confirmed everything I had already learned from personal experience. But your tutorials take it to another level. I experimented doing progressive breath holds at home in my "sweat patch" workout/training area just to find where my limits are. I can repeatedly breath hold to 3 minutes no problem and my personal best is 5 minutes, but only in a relaxed state (not after any weight training). I also found out what it's like to black out - at home, sitting down and have become comfortable with contractions. Your O2 and CO2 tables appear to be a good way to progress but as you noted, diving really only improves with diving. The benefits of static breath holds have been to find familiarity with contractions and that woozy feeling at the end of a dive just before reaching the surface - no panic, just complete peaceful relaxation. The static breath holds also seem to help with learning to relax and almost get into that "Zen" mode. Does this get better with age? As metabolism slows, we need less oxygen and (at least) one famous free diver (Natalia Molchanova) noted she was better able to free dive as she got older - but she died diving recreationally.
Hi Adam your videos are great. I belong to AIDA Canada but there's no freediving instruction programs where I live, or anywhere close to where I live. So I train with some people who have their different levels from different places in my country. (I literally have to hop a plane and stay somewhere for a week to get a free diving cert!) and I'm always searching out online references. Your videos are great, I can't thank you enough! I am a mermaid performer in Canada and was one of the first in North America. I've utilized a lot of online research to help me improve my freediving skills. I am not as interested in going deep as much as I am with breath holding and being safe while doing so. (with my work I don't end up going any deeper than a standard aquarium). I have stunted lungs but I've managed to get my static breath hold to 2.30 so far at my best, but after a bad lung infection last year I can't get past 1.47 now. For now, it's a good enough for what I do. I'm either performing in aquariums or I'm performing for filming (have a music video coming out shortly!) so I don't have much reason to go beyond a minute or so. Just wanted to share my weird story and say thanks for all these awesome videos.
Raina Mermaid thank you so much Raina! It's great to know the people who watch my videos because mostly all I can do is watch the view count tick by haha. Your music video sounds awesome! I'd love you to share it with me when it's done :)
Omg I literally just found this video bc I wanted to work on my breath capacity for the SAME REASON! I've wanted to be a mermaid performer for years but I could never hold my breath for longer than 2min static and 1.5min while dolphin kicking across a standard inground pool!
Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial! After only 2 days of training I was now able to hold my breath for 2:04 minutes. (My best attempt before training was 1:07)
I'm an absolute beginner, which means I have so many questions I can't even begin to know what they are. How this is relevant to your video is that you answered about ten of them. Thank you!
it sounded like he was growling at him... why is it so unsafe to do max breath hold walks alone?... is it common to pass out?... i feel like you'd just open your mouth and breath if you got to your max
I’m no free diver but I’ve always enjoyed staying underwater and hanging with the marine life. I recently did my open water scuba....awesome....in the Maldives......but the point that I’m slow getting to, is I LOVE your passion for both your presentation & your sport so much that I’m a subscriber 👏👏👏👏
I just made the whole table C02 and 02 and when I finished I breathed for 2:30 and I managed to beat my old personal record of 04: 3 min. with a new personal record of 04:15 min. In fact, I never managed to match my previous record of static apnea until today. Thanks for the video!
Why BS? That is quite an easy jump with just a little mental effort. Practicing the techniques in this video could make just about anyone increase their breath-holds by minutes if they practice.
Hi again Adam I just watched this video again for the 2nd time (after the past 1.5yr in the Philippines here in Cebu) ❤🇵🇭❤ I was teaching myself to free dive (with the use of your videos) during lockdown & not long after I arrived here you had just recently been to Bohol (just opposite where I was staying in Cebu)... Sadly I haven't yet gotten to dive there yet (with all the restrictions still for inter island travel) but thanks to your videos, tips & expertise etc. I have managed to dive to a relatively comfortable 10m depth... not "so" deep I know - but coming from never having been even 1m under the surface before (when I came to Cebu from the UK) it was amazing to start getting deeper and deeper, seeing so much beauty in the ocean. 🥰🥰🥰 I got to dive with so many sea turtles and even had a 1 on 1 encounter with a whale shark (completely organic and natural like a scene from a movie!) ❤🧜🏻♂️🐋🐢🐠🐡🐟🦀 At first I was struggling at around 5m to equalise (for a few months)... but after persistance, perseverance and practice I soon managed to go deeper and have no problems now equalizing using the Frenzel technique 🧜🏻♂️❤ Anyway... just wanted to thank you again!... I really love watching your videos and everytime you amaze me and inspire me. I have been so busy the past 6months with house building here. But now, I can get back to working on new deeper depths and longer breathe holds in the stunning reefs here in the Philippines. ❤🇵🇭❤😎👊 Many thanks again brother!... keep up the great work! 💪😎 I shall look forward to seeing more of your content, adventures and achievements! 🧜🏻♂️❤👊😎
Just tried the breathing technique for 5 sec breath and 10 sec breath out for 2 minutes and then took a regular breath and a deep full breath and held it for 3 fricking minutes!!! I’m a smoker and never tried holding my breath before and thought I’d be lucky if I lasted 1 minute. That was freaking insane. Got out of bed and told my wife and she wasn’t even that impressed.
On an unrelated note, it really baffles me why some videos, such as this, that is educational, and doesn't really offend anyone would receive thumbs-down.
Thank you so much for the class, you have no idea how much I appreciate you and what you're doing right now to teach me how to actually hold my breath longer. Keep up the good work! I will definitely use everything that you've taught me.
I've have been following Adam's videos and have substantially improved my breath hold times. I have gone from 1 minute to 2 min 30 secs. Thanks Adam for all your great advice! :-)
I want to say thank you Mate! I had been doing something's well, all intuitively but I see many of my mistakes now. Your delivery is brilliant and your passion evident. Cheers mate!
Covid-19 your video is helpful at increasing lung capacity! A smoker for 55 years and covid infections increasing I can see how increasing lung capacity is helpful. I am a certified diver and have been using your free dive techniques for a couple years! With practice I Have increased my breath hold capacity to 4 minutes without gulping! Recent medical exam Dr was surprised my ox was 95 and that my lungs where clear! Thanks enjoy the positive attributes of a freediver!
Thanks for the upload dude! Fellow freedivers from AUS, Perth been following you since a few hundred. Always learning something new with ur vids, keep it up!
Great video and easy to understand. I'm a spearo so this is all good info. I'd love to be able to break that 1 minute mark but seem to hang around 45 seconds just to keep it safe. Deepest I've been is 65ft, that was with a full weight belt so getting off the bottom was interesting. Definitely subscribing!
thanks so much :) If you're diving that deep you may want to take some weight off! haha but I think you're diving in a really smart and safe way. Spearfishing can be risky only because of the amount of things that can go wrong in a dive- tangles, fish reefing themselves etc so I don't think it's a bad thing at all that you dive conservatively. In time you'll easily crack that 1 minute mark
first try i was able to hold for 45 seconds, second was 1 minute, waiting for the 4 minute mark now to attempt a minute and 15 seconds. It helps for me to think of the feeling of needing to breath as just mild discomfort. thanks! Going to a quarry diving area in june.
A few questions: 1) My max static breath hold is 1:31. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to practice a table with 3-minute intervals? Because a 4-minute interval would keep giving me a full 2-minute recovery which kind of defeats the purpose of the table. Right? 2) Is freediving in a lake any different to the sea/ocean? I live on the coast of the Zurich lake (switzerland) which is huge and plenty deep (100+ metres) but obviously I don't have a seashore anywhere closeby. 3) In the 104m dive video, was there an external light source or is there actually that much light deep down? Also, you are the first youtuber whom I have seen respond to every single comment under his videos, which makes you the most awesome person on this planet. Keep it up!
hahaha thanks Roman :) So at this point in time I think what you need to work on is more your relaxation rather than your C02 tolerance so keep the interval at 4 minutes so that you can have the option of increasing your breath hold times. The difference is that you will be less bouyant diving in fresh water and lakes are usually much colder and darker! haha In the caribbean the vis is so good that there is that much light at the bottom :)
Ok I just tested my self and I got 1 min on how long I can hold for. I’ll edit and tell my time after a day of training. Edit: I got 2.27 after 3 weeks of training.
Adam, thank you so much for all of your videos. I absolutely love the passion that comes through in your videos, your kind disposition, and the content. I love knowing that you are an experienced diver and that you support your statements with your knowledge from that experience along with science but still remind us viewers that your word is not law and just opinion which is so important to remember! I feel so comfortable listening to your advice versus listening to someone else who doesn't do any of those things, plus you seem like a cool dude! Seriously, you're all around awesome! Thank you :))
Apryl thank you so so much! that's seriously one of the best compliments I've ever received :) thank you! :) I really hope we get to dive together someday
My first time doing the 4-minute interval thing: 1. 1m 30s (Barely, pretty uncomfortable) 2. 2m (Not that bad) 3. 2m 15s (Pushed it a bit) 4. 2m 30s (Starting to relax through the contractions now) 5. 3m (My vision started getting weird at the end of this one) 6. 3m (Contractions for the last 20 seconds) 7. 3m (We chillin) 8. 3m 15s (A bit extra, since there's no hold coming after this one) Overall, it was a very nice experience. I'll try doing this every 3 days, and see how I improve. Thanks, Adam! :)
I’m up to holding my breath for 2 minutes in that 4 minute interval exercise. 😁👍🏻 Thanks for the tips! I’m going to keep at it, then try the walking exercises you suggested, then bring it to the pool. I used to be able to swim from one end of the pool to the other underwater no problem... no practice needed. Haven’t been able to do that for a bit. So these exercises were a great find. ☺️
I’m Adam stone. I had to replay beginning two times because I couldn’t believe I heard that correctly but I knew I had at the same time. Mind blown. Subscribed to myself
well done!!! like your way to explain the trainning tips. I‘ve already passed the AIDA 2 star course and want to go far, thank you for the beautiful video tutorial and I've learned a lot~~~keep on the great job and enjoy the dive :)
Hey Adam, just getting into this whole thing. May just be my latest FAD, but I really enjoy the science behind this sport and I have been practicing pranyamas just for helping me to meditate after a hard days work. Tried the beginning of your static breath hold training table and manged to do 3 sets of 2min holds with 2 min rests. I was really pleased! I will continue to try and beat this target, I think if I made 3min it would be insane for me:)
What an amazing video series! I love it when professionals such as Adam are so passionate about what they do that they take time to encourage and guide complete beginners who are interested in the sport. Thanks so much! I'm two days into my training and I had a couple questions for Adam or the community...For the CO2 and O2 tables, is there any danger in doing a table more often than a few times a week? Maybe like doing 5 tables a week. I saw in one of your videos you said no more than 3. All of my training will be dry training as I don't have access to a pool, so I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't do my lungs or body any damage by doing them more often. It wouldn't be mentally taxing on me as I actually really enjoy doing the exercises. So is it safe to do more than 3 tables a week? And is it even beneficial to do that? Also, should I increase the breath hold portion if I'm getting through the 8 rounds fairly easily? Or should I stay where I started? How often should I reestablish my max hold? For example, in the CO2 table, 50% of my PB is 45 seconds (which currently stands at a rather unimpressive 1:30). . On my first day of training (2 days ago), I did the 8 rounds of the CO2 tables quite easily. Is that how it should be or should I push myself at least a little bit? Say by maybe increasing the breath hold to 50 seconds? Again, I really enjoy the exercises so it's not something that is going to discourage me from going forward with training. Thanks so much for all the great info!
The last time I hold my breath only 30 seconds.. But when I saw your video and try it right now my God I was shock I actually did a 1min and 55seconds thank you a lot Adam Ilove u
I still dont fully understand Jorge. You want exercises that will help you deal with contractions? or that these exercises that i'm taking about in this video will help you with contractions? these exercises will definitely help you with contractions
Exercises that will help you deal with contractions, I understand that intercostal flexibility and hipopressive exercises help but, what I don´t, know is exactly what. Thanks Adam.
I used to do competitive swimming for ~11 years, and one of the exercises we did was the table you brought up where you swim in a pool. Unfortunately I don't competitively swim anymore, but I have been recently interested in diving at the local river.
Most likely not Steve :) but i'd need to know more about your training to give you any real advice. Feel free to send me more details to my facebook page, the comment will get lost for me here :)
Couldnt believe that there are few breath holding exercises in this world and one of them is to accomodate with carbon dioxide tolerance towards the body. And u r a good speaker! It doesnt seemed to be bored and yet I watched the whole video!😆
Yakito88 everyone feel the discomfort to different degrees. Some people the discomfort is strong some people barely feel it. You just need to get used to it over time. Go slow and make sure you always enjoy the breath holds!
Thank you for the tip. I managed to sign up for a snorkeling club and today I felt like I eventually will be able to get through the pain. It's just sad that I didn't know you were supposed to push past the contractions for about 15 years :)
Exhale some? Not sure ive experienced contractions honestly. im pretty self aware. The longest i could hold it was 1:20 i think years ago. Just started swimming again recently.
Yakito88 You must get to know the real God Jesus Christ. I have a small message about God for you.Do you believe in God,? In the last day Jesus would resurrect everyone who ever lived including the good and the bad, and the good would go to heaven while the bad would perish and be tormented in Hell for all eternity, there is no reincarnating into another species, that is a lie, you only have this life to get right with God. today I want to share with you the Gospel of God Jesus Christ who is the only God who came in the flesh and lived among us about 2000 years ago and he was crucified and died for our sins, all men have sinned against God and hence we live in a world full of trouble because the first people named Adam and Eve ate from the tree which God commanded them not to eat from, hence because of their disobedience, Adam and Even were cast out of Paradise. But God in his love and mercy made a way for us to get back into this paradise so that we can once again live with him for eternity in paradise where we never grow old or die and where there is no pain or suffering for all eternity. Today you can take the first step in this journey by believing in God Jesus Christ and accepting him as God(as he was not just a good teacher) and by repenting of your sins. In the last day Jesus would resurrect everyone who ever lived including the good and the bad and the good would go to heaven while the bad would perish and be tormented in Hell for all eternity, there is no reincarnating into another species, that is a lie, you only have this life to get right with God. Therefore we must repent of our sins today and realize that we are not Gods, neither are we divine, only God is divine. Jesus is God and he taught us how to live when he came to Earth , there are 2 destinations either Heaven or Eternal hell fire, those believe in Jesus Christ and who live according to Jesus Christ would go to Heaven but those wicked people who reject him and choose their own paths would be cast into the lake of fire where they shall be tormented for all eternity, this is just the reality, nonetheless it is not fear that cause me to live for God but rather it is my love for him in that he is a merciful and loving God. Focus on the things of God instead of the things of this world as the things of this world are only temporary but the things of God are eternal. If you would like to know more about this I encourage you to study the ESV and KJV Bible as there is vital knowledge that you must have in there as it explains Gods plan for Humanity and what we must do to please him. Do not delay, tomorrow is not promised.Jesus bless you
a tip from my side and a little story: I wanted to do my lifeguard in Silver (thats the 2nd level over here in Germany, before is bronze afterwards comes gold) and i had to do some tests. 25 meters diving, jumping from a 3 meter tower (lol) and the deepdive for collecting a 5 kg ring. The first two times i had to dive with my head down, so it was just normal diving. But i had really bad pressure on my ears. Ah yeah, the pressure balance i have to do, i was down at 4 meters (my ears were burning) so i was holding my nose closed with my fingers, pressed the air of my lungs out AND: nothing happend... my ears didnt recover and i wasnt able to balance the pressure. Anyways i was able to do the two times frontdiving, but then the struggle came in at the third dive. In this one i had to dive down with my feets down and head upwards so i wasnt able and allowed to use my feet but only my arms. I really wasnt able to do this test and i was kinda freaked out and hopeless, the pressure balance didnt work again and my ears were burning and so on. At the time i was doing the test in the pool (4,6 meters), a scuba teacher and two of his students were right next to me, getting the equipment together and preparing for their lesson. He saw that i was struggling and was so bountiful to take some of his time to show me how to do the pressure balance correctly. He jumped into the water and went with me on the side of the pool, right next to the stairs. He told me: "Always leave one hand at the stairs and with the other one you hold your nose tight. Then get down slowly and do the pressure balance every half meter". So i did it, i closed my eyes and always did the pressure balance again and again and again. And see there, my feet touched the ground and i felt no pressure on my ears, no discomfort and so i was able to pass this test aswell. So when you are still struggling with the pressure on your ears just try it with this method, i hope it will help you :)
You have to learn how to equalize, one way pinch your nose and blow thru you ears. Like on an airplane you can yawn to equalize. Practice equalizing. I am a scuba diver I usually dive one month of the year so it takes me awhile on my first couple of dives ( but I got air and plenty of time to equalize freedivers don't).
I can hold my breath for 2-3 minutes consciously but i randomly hold by breath without realizing it and by the time i notice ive been doing it for quite some time but i can never really measure how long
How do you know you have stopped breathing? If the most you can hold your breath is 3 minutes, you might randomly stop breathing for a minute. But how do you know you did?
@@chiragrulze There is a moment where I notice I'm not inhaling or exhaling. It lasts for about 2-3 seconds . This is longer than the natural pause from switching to exhale. Then I abruptly inhale while also having sort of an uncanny feeling.
last year in Mexico i out swam all the young bucks from america and canada. in a underwater distance swim most made half the length of a olympic pool . i swam the whole length down and later the whole length back up . winning the title AQUA MAN . lol im 71 years old .i do have previous experience having been british sub aqua since the age of 18 and dived with Jacques Costeau in the falklands in 1985 but never free dived before but found you tutorial fantastic .especialy your 5 breaths in 10 breaths out .After swimming the length of the pool i felt i could have turned around and swam back up .BUT following you warning about passing out i left it at one length . which was more than enough to shame face the lads :)

Just getting into freediving/spearfishing in the northern Gulf of Mexico and have not had the chance to take a class but have learned a ton from your videos. Can't say how much I appreciate them.
thanks so much for letting me know!!! :) welcome to the freediving family ;) I bet spearfishing there is amazing!
It has so much to offer. I'm mainly diving off the coast of Louisiana so it's full of oil rigs which hold tons of fish and makes for awesome underwater scenery. I've mainly been chasing smaller snapper but have run across many species. I have so much to learn but have been practicing 2-3 days a week in the pool. Such a rewarding activity.
Thank you, Adam.
As a 15-16 year old, my record for holding my breath while inactive (lying on the bed) was 4:02. I loved the peace and sensation of not breathing and used to often spend more time underwater than above it when in a pool or lake.
The only time I competed in an Olympic Pool, I swam 75 metres underwater (at the same age) ... but I never thought of diving particularly deep. I always battled equalising pressures and my ears hurt.
Now that I am an older man, you are inspiring me to return to holding my breath while resting and taking apnoea walks!
Your enthusiasm is contagious, and you have inspired me.
Thank you
BROSKY you gotta help me man 4:02????? bro what? i cant even go 2minutes whats your training HOW? plz respond after 3 years lad PLZ
the fezel technique helps with the ears!
@@UnblackedMan I am no expert, Creative.
I am sure there are TH-cam videos that will explain far more than I ever knew.
My belief at the time was that it was important to be very fit aerobically. I did lots of calisthenics and distance running and swimming (and other activities). I am guessing that a very fit heart and better hemoglobin blood content means a lower pulse rate and more efficient transfer and use of oxygen around the body. Even at my age and very unfit, my resting heart rate is around 55. It was lower as a teenager.
I breathed deeply beforehand ... approaching hyperventilation.
Lying calmly and almost in a meditative state is vital ... enjoying the peace and the experience.
As the carbon dioxide builds and the body wants to fight to breathe, there is still half a minute to a minute of air and conscious resting if you can relax and learn to 'ignore' the body's reflex. That, actually, is the biggest battle.
I also used to practise regularly when walking around ... just randomly holding my breath (e.g. walking past smokers) for 30-60 seconds or more. That becomes an art, especially if you had just breathed out.
In short, constant practice, I guess. I hope you can learn good habits from people far more experienced than I ever was. I was entirely self taught :P.
Best wishes to you!
@@trxszyHimself Thank you, J3s1xr. I had never heard of this method and have just looked it up. When I get fitter and get back to diving again, I will try the method/technique.

@@UnblackedMan yesterday panic attack 6th attempt did 3 minutes I smoke 20 years and I am only 32 and heavy asthmatic...I most probably can go 4min
Yo, thankyou so much, I showed this video to a friend and he has been holding his breath for a day or two, he hasn't moved. He's gonna be so happy when i tell him his time
How could anyone give this video a thumbs down. I swear there are just ppl going on TH-cam clicking thumbs down on every video they see. Its awesome and thanks so much for the video. I'm watching them all!
thank you so much :) haha yeah I think that some people wanted a magic trick for it as opposed to physiology and training haha
Since I've started to train my breathing I just found a new channel to follow. Such a charismatic teacher. A very well structured lesson.
I never went diving in my life, yet I watched the whole video and subscribed lol
hahah you're awesome Hugo :)
I always wanted to start freediving training by myself, but all the tables and explanations really scared me. You got me back into it and my breath-holding on land increased! Thank you so much. :3
Stephanie T that's epic! Stoked that you're back in the game! :)
I didn’t really learn how to hold my breath longer except just practice and train. But he’s so positive and speaks so clearly.
Thanks Adam. Your vids are the best source of rational, professional free diving training I have ever seen, anywhere. I recently did a Free Diving certificate in Panglao, Philippines (Bohol) and it effectively confirmed everything I had already learned from personal experience. But your tutorials take it to another level.
I experimented doing progressive breath holds at home in my "sweat patch" workout/training area just to find where my limits are. I can repeatedly breath hold to 3 minutes no problem and my personal best is 5 minutes, but only in a relaxed state (not after any weight training). I also found out what it's like to black out - at home, sitting down and have become comfortable with contractions. Your O2 and CO2 tables appear to be a good way to progress but as you noted, diving really only improves with diving. The benefits of static breath holds have been to find familiarity with contractions and that woozy feeling at the end of a dive just before reaching the surface - no panic, just complete peaceful relaxation. The static breath holds also seem to help with learning to relax and almost get into that "Zen" mode.
Does this get better with age? As metabolism slows, we need less oxygen and (at least) one famous free diver (Natalia Molchanova) noted she was better able to free dive as she got older - but she died diving recreationally.
I held my breath for one minute and I’m proud....
Hi Adam your videos are great. I belong to AIDA Canada but there's no freediving instruction programs where I live, or anywhere close to where I live. So I train with some people who have their different levels from different places in my country. (I literally have to hop a plane and stay somewhere for a week to get a free diving cert!) and I'm always searching out online references. Your videos are great, I can't thank you enough!
I am a mermaid performer in Canada and was one of the first in North America. I've utilized a lot of online research to help me improve my freediving skills. I am not as interested in going deep as much as I am with breath holding and being safe while doing so. (with my work I don't end up going any deeper than a standard aquarium). I have stunted lungs but I've managed to get my static breath hold to 2.30 so far at my best, but after a bad lung infection last year I can't get past 1.47 now.
For now, it's a good enough for what I do. I'm either performing in aquariums or I'm performing for filming (have a music video coming out shortly!) so I don't have much reason to go beyond a minute or so.
Just wanted to share my weird story and say thanks for all these awesome videos.
Raina Mermaid thank you so much Raina! It's great to know the people who watch my videos because mostly all I can do is watch the view count tick by haha. Your music video sounds awesome! I'd love you to share it with me when it's done :)
Omg I literally just found this video bc I wanted to work on my breath capacity for the SAME REASON! I've wanted to be a mermaid performer for years but I could never hold my breath for longer than 2min static and 1.5min while dolphin kicking across a standard inground pool!
Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial! After only 2 days of training I was now able to hold my breath for 2:04 minutes. (My best attempt before training was 1:07)
I'm an absolute beginner, which means I have so many questions I can't even begin to know what they are. How this is relevant to your video is that you answered about ten of them. Thank you!
I went from holding my breath 40 seconds to 6 hours straight. Thanks!
hahaha well that would be quite the record!
6 minutes?
U mean 6 minutes
Lies.
its either a joke or a mistake
Love it! Love your dog! Love how he seems to think "Stop kissing me you weirdo i know where that mouth has been"
Daan Verhoeven Hahahaha he's such a grumpy thing! But that's why we love him! Plus his mouth has been to some weird places too 😳😳😳😳😳
Daan Verhoeven
it sounded like he was growling at him...
why is it so unsafe to do max breath hold walks alone?... is it common to pass out?... i feel like you'd just open your mouth and breath if you got to your max
@@JW-zs6tn if you're able to open your mouth and start breath, than... It wasn't your max ))
Ahahha that rottie love, growl when kissing them then get upset when you stop
Adam was holding his breath during the whole video
hahahahah I wish!
I’m no free diver but I’ve always enjoyed staying underwater and hanging with the marine life. I recently did my open water scuba....awesome....in the Maldives......but the point that I’m slow getting to, is I LOVE your passion for both your presentation & your sport so much that I’m a subscriber 👏👏👏👏
My uncle is holding his breath for 2 days straight since I showed him this video. He's completely focused and doesnt let anybody bother him
Lmao
I just made the whole table C02 and 02 and when I finished I breathed for 2:30 and I managed to beat my old personal record of 04: 3 min. with a new personal record of 04:15 min. In fact, I never managed to match my previous record of static apnea until today. Thanks for the video!
You're so welcome :) That's so good!
i went from 40 seconds to 1:30 just from this vid thanks
DankTard awesome! Solid work!
im now at 2:30
DankTard Bull shit
+jasmina de vries whats bullshit?
Why BS? That is quite an easy jump with just a little mental effort. Practicing the techniques in this video could make just about anyone increase their breath-holds by minutes if they practice.
I personally think that spongebob music helps me hold my breath longer, after all bikini bottom is underwater
absolutely. Lately i've been singing Cindy Lauper while i dive hahaha
Adam Freediver wow never thought I'd get a reply omg thx :)
this is the most underrated comment on youtube
Hi again Adam
I just watched this video again for the 2nd time (after the past 1.5yr in the Philippines here in Cebu)
❤🇵🇭❤
I was teaching myself to free dive (with the use of your videos) during lockdown & not long after I arrived here you had just recently been to Bohol (just opposite where I was staying in Cebu)...
Sadly I haven't yet gotten to dive there yet (with all the restrictions still for inter island travel) but thanks to your videos, tips & expertise etc. I have managed to dive to a relatively comfortable 10m depth... not "so" deep I know - but coming from never having been even 1m under the surface before (when I came to Cebu from the UK) it was amazing to start getting deeper and deeper, seeing so much beauty in the ocean. 🥰🥰🥰 I got to dive with so many sea turtles and even had a 1 on 1 encounter with a whale shark (completely organic and natural like a scene from a movie!)
❤🧜🏻♂️🐋🐢🐠🐡🐟🦀
At first I was struggling at around 5m to equalise (for a few months)... but after persistance, perseverance and practice I soon managed to go deeper and have no problems now equalizing using the Frenzel technique 🧜🏻♂️❤
Anyway... just wanted to thank you again!... I really love watching your videos and everytime you amaze me and inspire me.
I have been so busy the past 6months with house building here. But now, I can get back to working on new deeper depths and longer breathe holds in the stunning reefs here in the Philippines. ❤🇵🇭❤😎👊
Many thanks again brother!... keep up the great work! 💪😎
I shall look forward to seeing more of your content, adventures and achievements! 🧜🏻♂️❤👊😎
Top drawer all the way. A well spoken young man with excellent tips and obvious common sense. Kudos...
i want to dive to the bottom of the sea and return as Odin
that is exactly what you will do!
@@AdamFreediver what is free diving dude is the depth deep?
@RC Buggy Dude † I wanna tie some weights to you and help get you there. ;)
Wouldn't you return as Poseidon?
You won’t...Neptune will kick your arse before you return...and that’s kicking with a serious monofin tail 😀
Just tried the breathing technique for 5 sec breath and 10 sec breath out for 2 minutes and then took a regular breath and a deep full breath and held it for 3 fricking minutes!!! I’m a smoker and never tried holding my breath before and thought I’d be lucky if I lasted 1 minute. That was freaking insane. Got out of bed and told my wife and she wasn’t even that impressed.
hahahahaha! What a crack up! What does it take to impress a wife!? good job! that's a solid breath hold!
I’m a spearo with a 6min static breath hold but still managed to pick up a few tips from this. Thanks for sharing 😊
Im 18 years old and wants to learn more for holding your breath longer , do you have some tips?
@@yawa35 do a breath hold course for free diving or spearfishing. No good me going into detail on the comments section, good luck 👌
@@rgibson759 okay thankyou very much
Did a freediver course this week, managed to dive down to 17m, hold my breath for 2min and do a dynamic apnea for 50m. Lots of fun! Subscribed :)
That's awesome! Good work!!! :)
On an unrelated note, it really baffles me why some videos, such as this, that is educational, and doesn't really offend anyone would receive thumbs-down.
Thanks brother! Not sure either, but I guess you can't appeal to everyone :)
Thank you so much for the class, you have no idea how much I appreciate you and what you're doing right now to teach me how to actually hold my breath longer. Keep up the good work! I will definitely use everything that you've taught me.
Thank you so much Jose! I really appreciate hearing that :)
Thanks Adam. I'm going to use this knowledge to improve my snorkeling ability. I'm 69 years old! Cheers
Great to hear Rob! Hope it helps you with your snorkeling!
Take a blacksmiths anvil with you next time and I swear you'll go deeper than you ever thought possible👍
@@krazywally5685 bruh
This really helped my brother, he’s been holding his breath underwater for 2 days now. I think he had the record!
I've have been following Adam's videos and have substantially improved my breath hold times. I have gone from 1 minute to 2 min 30 secs. Thanks Adam for all your great advice! :-)
Thank you! that's solid progress :)
I want to say thank you Mate! I had been doing something's well, all intuitively but I see many of my mistakes now. Your delivery is brilliant and your passion evident. Cheers mate!
Hands down best video of freediving breathing I've seen. Great breakdown of the different components, plus it's all measurable and scientific. 👍🏻
My grandpas been holding his breath for 3 years
My has been holding for 5 years

Me watching this without any intention of diving
This method works. I’m now typing this message with my soul. Haven’t been breathing since.
hahahaha
Covid-19 your video is helpful at increasing lung capacity! A smoker for 55 years and covid infections increasing I can see how increasing lung capacity is helpful. I am a certified diver and have been using your free dive techniques for a couple years! With practice I Have increased my breath hold capacity to 4 minutes without gulping! Recent medical exam Dr was surprised my ox was 95 and that my lungs where clear! Thanks enjoy the positive attributes of a freediver!
Thanks once again Adam. Can't wait for next deep week. Let us know as soon as you have the dates please.
thanks you! :) I'll let you know ASAP about deep week!
Cool, can you now make a video on how to stop holding my breath? I miss breathing.
Can I practice this in my sink 😂?
hahahahhah you'd be better off doing it in bed haha
Toilet is also a good place.
You can 🤣🤣🤣🤣
better do it on your toilet 🚽
Adam Freediver what about bath tub cause your head is actually underwater
Thanks for the upload dude! Fellow freedivers from AUS, Perth been following you since a few hundred. Always learning something new with ur vids, keep it up!

Thank you!!! Some of the best training information I’ve found on TH-cam! Very clear and very straightforward!!! THANK YOU for making this! 🤩
You're so so so welcome! thank you :)
Great video and easy to understand. I'm a spearo so this is all good info. I'd love to be able to break that 1 minute mark but seem to hang around 45 seconds just to keep it safe. Deepest I've been is 65ft, that was with a full weight belt so getting off the bottom was interesting. Definitely subscribing!
thanks so much :) If you're diving that deep you may want to take some weight off! haha but I think you're diving in a really smart and safe way. Spearfishing can be risky only because of the amount of things that can go wrong in a dive- tangles, fish reefing themselves etc so I don't think it's a bad thing at all that you dive conservatively. In time you'll easily crack that 1 minute mark
"The second you've lost your comfort, that's when you come up" very simple I can get with that
first try i was able to hold for 45 seconds, second was 1 minute, waiting for the 4 minute mark now to attempt a minute and 15 seconds. It helps for me to think of the feeling of needing to breath as just mild discomfort. thanks! Going to a quarry diving area in june.
A few questions:
1) My max static breath hold is 1:31. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to practice a table with 3-minute intervals? Because a 4-minute interval would keep giving me a full 2-minute recovery which kind of defeats the purpose of the table. Right?
2) Is freediving in a lake any different to the sea/ocean? I live on the coast of the Zurich lake (switzerland) which is huge and plenty deep (100+ metres) but obviously I don't have a seashore anywhere closeby.
3) In the 104m dive video, was there an external light source or is there actually that much light deep down?
Also, you are the first youtuber whom I have seen respond to every single comment under his videos, which makes you the most awesome person on this planet. Keep it up!
hahaha thanks Roman :)
So at this point in time I think what you need to work on is more your relaxation rather than your C02 tolerance so keep the interval at 4 minutes so that you can have the option of increasing your breath hold times.
The difference is that you will be less bouyant diving in fresh water and lakes are usually much colder and darker! haha
In the caribbean the vis is so good that there is that much light at the bottom :)
Mines 2 mins but that was a looooong time ago...
Ok I just tested my self and I got 1 min on how long I can hold for. I’ll edit and tell my time after a day of training. Edit: I got 2.27 after 3 weeks of training.
Hey. Was there a progress with this after 2 weeks?
I think he’s dead

Yo how good are u
Adam, thank you so much for all of your videos. I absolutely love the passion that comes through in your videos, your kind disposition, and the content. I love knowing that you are an experienced diver and that you support your statements with your knowledge from that experience along with science but still remind us viewers that your word is not law and just opinion which is so important to remember! I feel so comfortable listening to your advice versus listening to someone else who doesn't do any of those things, plus you seem like a cool dude! Seriously, you're all around awesome! Thank you :))
Apryl thank you so so much! that's seriously one of the best compliments I've ever received :) thank you! :) I really hope we get to dive together someday
I'm not particulairy interested in diving, but I just love to see you being so passionate
thanks so much! that's so nice to hear :)
My first time doing the 4-minute interval thing:
1. 1m 30s (Barely, pretty uncomfortable)
2. 2m (Not that bad)
3. 2m 15s (Pushed it a bit)
4. 2m 30s (Starting to relax through the contractions now)
5. 3m (My vision started getting weird at the end of this one)
6. 3m (Contractions for the last 20 seconds)
7. 3m (We chillin)
8. 3m 15s (A bit extra, since there's no hold coming after this one)
Overall, it was a very nice experience. I'll try doing this every 3 days, and see how I improve. Thanks, Adam! :)
Another great video Adam, thanks. Love the point about iron depletion, need to look into that!
Domhnallus yeah so many freedivers are anemic! Thanks heaps too :)
blood is the oxygen transporter from lungs to our bodies...so we have to take care of it to do it's job as well
Domhnallus jiskskksksksks
I'm anemic :[ grrrr
Yesss! Now i can hold my breath for 10sec that beats my old record of 4 sec
dude he was talking about holding ur breath and then said 4-5 minutes.... i was like EXCUSE ME WTF
I’m up to holding my breath for 2 minutes in that 4 minute interval exercise. 😁👍🏻 Thanks for the tips! I’m going to keep at it, then try the walking exercises you suggested, then bring it to the pool. I used to be able to swim from one end of the pool to the other underwater no problem... no practice needed. Haven’t been able to do that for a bit. So these exercises were a great find. ☺️
thanks so much! I'm so happy you're enjoying it :)
I’m Adam stone. I had to replay beginning two times because I couldn’t believe I heard that correctly but I knew I had at the same time. Mind blown. Subscribed to myself

Personally, if I can relax, I can hold my breath for 1:30 seconds, sometimes 2 minutes
That's pretty solid breath hold :)

Hey Adam, just getting into this whole thing. May just be my latest FAD, but I really enjoy the science behind this sport and I have been practicing pranyamas just for helping me to meditate after a hard days work. Tried the beginning of your static breath hold training table and manged to do 3 sets of 2min holds with 2 min rests. I was really pleased! I will continue to try and beat this target, I think if I made 3min it would be insane for me:)
Robert that's awesome :) keep going bro :) just take it nice and slow and enjoy it
Awesome tutorial!!!!
thank you my lovely
What an amazing video series! I love it when professionals such as Adam are so passionate about what they do that they take time to encourage and guide complete beginners who are interested in the sport. Thanks so much! I'm two days into my training and I had a couple questions for Adam or the community...For the CO2 and O2 tables, is there any danger in doing a table more often than a few times a week? Maybe like doing 5 tables a week. I saw in one of your videos you said no more than 3. All of my training will be dry training as I don't have access to a pool, so I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't do my lungs or body any damage by doing them more often. It wouldn't be mentally taxing on me as I actually really enjoy doing the exercises. So is it safe to do more than 3 tables a week? And is it even beneficial to do that?
Also, should I increase the breath hold portion if I'm getting through the 8 rounds fairly easily? Or should I stay where I started? How often should I reestablish my max hold? For example, in the CO2 table, 50% of my PB is 45 seconds (which currently stands at a rather unimpressive 1:30). . On my first day of training (2 days ago), I did the 8 rounds of the CO2 tables quite easily. Is that how it should be or should I push myself at least a little bit? Say by maybe increasing the breath hold to 50 seconds? Again, I really enjoy the exercises so it's not something that is going to discourage me from going forward with training.
Thanks so much for all the great info!
Outstanding and thank you from an aging (61) 3.5 decade spearo who is looking for some exercises to prepare for a exotic trip!
The last time I hold my breath only 30 seconds.. But when I saw your video and try it right now my God I was shock I actually did a 1min and 55seconds thank you a lot Adam Ilove u
A perfect explanation my friend. The following will be like holding more diaphragmatic blows?
thank you! what do you mean by diaphragmatic blows? Do you mean diaphragmatic breaths?
He might be talking about contractions. Great video Adam, very inspiring!
Ah too true! Okay I'll make a video about that then!
I still dont fully understand Jorge. You want exercises that will help you deal with contractions? or that these exercises that i'm taking about in this video will help you with contractions? these exercises will definitely help you with contractions
Exercises that will help you deal with contractions, I understand that intercostal flexibility and hipopressive exercises help but, what I don´t, know is exactly what.
Thanks Adam.
might be a stupid question, but is this OK for your brain?
there are no such things as stupid questions and it's definitely okay for your brain :)
Adam Freediver Dude im gonna Ask you, where do we poop from? isn't that stupid
@@kaizer0491 if u know it and still asking than it might be stupid if not then
hey Adam, love your videos. I'm a begginer in freediving, how did you did that underwater exhale buble circule at 09:14? Anyone else curious to know ?
I used to do competitive swimming for ~11 years, and one of the exercises we did was the table you brought up where you swim in a pool. Unfortunately I don't competitively swim anymore, but I have been recently interested in diving at the local river.
This is one of my favorite videos on youtube, thankyou!
Who’s holding their breath while watching😂
DEADPOOL 187187 ur mom
When I static training I wear a %SpO2 - PRbpm monitor and my O2 levels hardly ever drop. Do you think I need to adjust my tables?
Most likely not Steve :) but i'd need to know more about your training to give you any real advice. Feel free to send me more details to my facebook page, the comment will get lost for me here :)
Best moment was that dog growling 😂😂😂 priceless!!
Yeah Really Nice not understanding your dogs signals 😓
Couldnt believe that there are few breath holding exercises in this world and one of them is to accomodate with carbon dioxide tolerance towards the body. And u r a good speaker! It doesnt seemed to be bored and yet I watched the whole video!😆
Watching you i am thinking maybe happy people are more able to hold breath. At the first video didn't like you but now, i love your videos. Thanks
I can't get past contractions. It feels like dying. It is scary and very, very painful to me. How do you even do it?
Yakito88 everyone feel the discomfort to different degrees. Some people the discomfort is strong some people barely feel it. You just need to get used to it over time. Go slow and make sure you always enjoy the breath holds!
Thank you for the tip. I managed to sign up for a snorkeling club and today I felt like I eventually will be able to get through the pain.
It's just sad that I didn't know you were supposed to push past the contractions for about 15 years :)
haha sounds like a good plan! but dont push too hard through the contractions....you still have to enjoy your dives ;)
Exhale some? Not sure ive experienced contractions honestly. im pretty self aware. The longest i could hold it was 1:20 i think years ago. Just started swimming again recently.
Yakito88 You must get to know the real God Jesus Christ. I have a small message about God for you.Do you believe in God,? In the last day Jesus would resurrect everyone who ever lived including the good and the bad, and the good would go to heaven while the bad would perish and be tormented in Hell for all eternity, there is no reincarnating into another species, that is a lie, you only have this life to get right with God. today I want to share with you the Gospel of God Jesus Christ who is the only God who came in the flesh and lived among us about 2000 years ago and he was crucified and died for our sins, all men have sinned against God and hence we live in a world full of trouble because the first people named Adam and Eve ate from the tree which God commanded them not to eat from, hence because of their disobedience, Adam and Even were cast out of Paradise. But God in his love and mercy made a way for us to get back into this paradise so that we can once again live with him for eternity in paradise where we never grow old or die and where there is no pain or suffering for all eternity. Today you can take the first step in this journey by believing in God Jesus Christ and accepting him as God(as he was not just a good teacher) and by repenting of your sins. In the last day Jesus would resurrect everyone who ever lived including the good and the bad and the good would go to heaven while the bad would perish and be tormented in Hell for all eternity, there is no reincarnating into another species, that is a lie, you only have this life to get right with God. Therefore we must repent of our sins today and realize that we are not Gods, neither are we divine, only God is divine. Jesus is God and he taught us how to live when he came to Earth , there are 2 destinations either Heaven or Eternal hell fire, those believe in Jesus Christ and who live according to Jesus Christ would go to Heaven but those wicked people who reject him and choose their own paths would be cast into the lake of fire where they shall be tormented for all eternity, this is just the reality, nonetheless it is not fear that cause me to live for God but rather it is my love for him in that he is a merciful and loving God. Focus on the things of God instead of the things of this world as the things of this world are only temporary but the things of God are eternal. If you would like to know more about this I encourage you to study the ESV and KJV Bible as there is vital knowledge that you must have in there as it explains Gods plan for Humanity and what we must do to please him. Do not delay, tomorrow is not promised.Jesus bless you

The Devil 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I did 5miles in 12minutes! With a jetski
The Devil aa
IThe Devil
The Devil what like 800metres in twelve minutes... Wow
I really, really loved diving, but I became incapable of compensating the preasure in my ears... now I can't even go under three meters ;-;
that's such a shame to hear! Have you watched my video on solving equalisation issues?
a tip from my side and a little story: I wanted to do my lifeguard in Silver (thats the 2nd level over here in Germany, before is bronze afterwards comes gold) and i had to do some tests. 25 meters diving, jumping from a 3 meter tower (lol) and the deepdive for collecting a 5 kg ring. The first two times i had to dive with my head down, so it was just normal diving. But i had really bad pressure on my ears. Ah yeah, the pressure balance i have to do, i was down at 4 meters (my ears were burning) so i was holding my nose closed with my fingers, pressed the air of my lungs out AND: nothing happend... my ears didnt recover and i wasnt able to balance the pressure. Anyways i was able to do the two times frontdiving, but then the struggle came in at the third dive.
In this one i had to dive down with my feets down and head upwards so i wasnt able and allowed to use my feet but only my arms. I really wasnt able to do this test and i was kinda freaked out and hopeless, the pressure balance didnt work again and my ears were burning and so on.
At the time i was doing the test in the pool (4,6 meters), a scuba teacher and two of his students were right next to me, getting the equipment together and preparing for their lesson. He saw that i was struggling and was so bountiful to take some of his time to show me how to do the pressure balance correctly. He jumped into the water and went with me on the side of the pool, right next to the stairs. He told me: "Always leave one hand at the stairs and with the other one you hold your nose tight. Then get down slowly and do the pressure balance every half meter". So i did it, i closed my eyes and always did the pressure balance again and again and again. And see there, my feet touched the ground and i felt no pressure on my ears, no discomfort and so i was able to pass this test aswell.
So when you are still struggling with the pressure on your ears just try it with this method, i hope it will help you :)
You have to learn how to equalize, one way pinch your nose and blow thru you ears. Like on an airplane you can yawn to equalize. Practice equalizing. I am a scuba diver I usually dive one month of the year so it takes me awhile on my first couple of dives ( but I got air and plenty of time to equalize freedivers don't).
Diving_Element was für 25 Meter xD
I can hold my breath for 2-3 minutes consciously but i randomly hold by breath without realizing it and by the time i notice ive been doing it for quite some time but i can never really measure how long
haha Grace that's kind of hilarious. I've never heard of anyone just doing unconscious breath holds before
This happens to me a lot
Same thing happens to me i thought I had some sort of breathe issue.
How do you know you have stopped breathing? If the most you can hold your breath is 3 minutes, you might randomly stop breathing for a minute. But how do you know you did?
@@chiragrulze There is a moment where I notice I'm not inhaling or exhaling. It lasts for about 2-3 seconds . This is longer than the natural pause from switching to exhale. Then I abruptly inhale while also having sort of an uncanny feeling.
First try I got 1 min forty try I got 2 min very happy I will recommend this channel
last year in Mexico i out swam all the young bucks from america and canada. in a underwater distance swim most made half the length of a olympic pool . i swam the whole length down and later the whole length back up . winning the title AQUA MAN . lol im 71 years old .i do have previous experience having been british sub aqua since the age of 18 and dived with Jacques Costeau in the falklands in 1985 but never free dived before but found you tutorial fantastic .especialy your 5 breaths in 10 breaths out .After swimming the length of the pool i felt i could have turned around and swam back up .BUT following you warning about passing out i left it at one length . which was more than enough to shame face the lads :)
