Hi
I am just now beginning to understand the marvel of freediving. After challenging myself I found out quite recently that I could stay under water for 40-60seconds swimming around. For years I was convinced that I really quote "had a bad set of lungs".
With my new found ability I have now begun to investigate the world to be found under the sea. I feel like a little kid when I pick fights with crabs and swim in formation with schools of fish and I just love it.
My question is for you medium to advanced freedivers here on the forum.
How long can (and do) you stay under the surface without to much of an effort? When I say "stay under" I do not refer to static apnea , but rather having a nice slow underwaterswim investigating rocks and seashells.
Is it realistic for some people to be down there 3-4 minutes like this?
My empahisize is not on competing or breaking reckords but rather in becoming as aquatic as possible.
(and yes I have joined a freediving club as well as I realize that this is quite dangerous when your diving without the proper training)
Thanks in advance=)
