I'll be heading over to Stuart's Cove snorkeling on Nov 29th.
I'll be requesting the Cessna wreck (Jaws IV) as one of the 3 dives they do on snorkeling excursions.
My understanding is that the wreck is at 6m.
As of today, using Oceanic Caribe fins in the 25yd olympic pool, I was able to do 3/4 of the length underwater, 2/3 of the length without fins, both with a decent push off the wall (though the fins get sucked back, tough to overcome that one. I did try pushing off the steps .... meh)
This previous week I have been doing the walk/breath-hold exercises.
Both of the above activities give me a 25sec breath hold max comfortable.
Would I be able to get to the wreck and back if I can get at least 45sec in the walk/breath-hold exercise? again, comfortably - no going for "those extra 5secs" lol
I figure gravity will get me down there easily enough and I glide back up (or blow the CO2 canister in the vest they give you
)
My current issues:
- Need to improve my breathe-up, especially to minimize hyperventilating.
- Need to improve my kick rhythm in order to get into glide mode. I was kicking hard to get across the pool even with telling myself 'glide, Dan, just glide'. My muscle memory is still in the phase of "powering across" lol
Thanks
