Author: Brad Posted: 13-Jul-07 IP: Logged	im 16 and have been snorkling since ive been 5 and have my scuba cert. id love to be able to dive 70 or so feet in one breath but dont know how to train or prepare to do something like this. the only time i dive down while snorkling is to see whats under a rock and thats only 35 feet. does anybody have tips on how to freedive deeper?     Reply | Report to Moderator
Author: ThomasLockie Posted: 14-Aug-07 IP: Logged	you need to get a book on Hatha yoga... most freediving is about relaxation..problem is, how do you dive to 90ft and relax at the same time? you need to do breathing exercises, use your solar plexus muscles and spend as much time in the water freediving as you can.. don't be enamored of people who say they dive to 110 ft and stay under for 2 minutes...this is dangerous stuff..you can read books on freediving but they won't teach you udiyana bhanda or asivini mudra..these are the things that start to change your thoraxic development see www.freedivingfilms.com     Reply | Report to Moderator
