OMG! I have read many books and watched hundreds of videos that describe how to do the different equalizing positions/techniques (T & K lock etc.f) but i never understood why you would transition through them. I always thought, why the heck would I switch around if at deep depths all i need is k. just do k all the time. You turned on the light bulb for me, a thousand thanks. I know how silly I sound now that it makes sense to me. Thanks for bringing it all together :)

CO2 training for beginners is useful (especially in spearfishing). Imagine your leg gets stuck between rocks, or a rope suddenly ties around your leg-CO2 tolerance is extremely helpful in such cases

What about breath work laying on your back? Is that good?

Yes Really clear thanks man, much appreciated

I'm a strength and conditioning trainer and do Freediving (not competitively) and this is great advice. Every freediver who doesn't do strength training will benefit from this advice.

I think I got a little traquea squees in my last 28m dive (little blood coming from my nose after the diving sesion). I know that I have a lot to fix in terms of relaxation, technique and equalization so I not moving any deeper before solving those issues. Thank you very much. your words made a lot of sense to me .

Will this no-contraction dive works for someone who is struggling to go to even 10m even after completing AIDA 2?

Awesome video!

Hi Harry, hope you are doing good! Can I use some information of this video for educational purposes? I'll be sure to make a reference!

Im beginner freediver 2 months of practicing, max dive 25m, im getting urge to breath on descent, even on like 10m, and after that i start to get contractions, what could be a problem, stress, pressure or? And its like my dive time is always about 1min…

WHAT IS THE WEIGHT BELT USED IN THE POOL

The thing is I am interested in free diving to control my anxiety. I wondered if the breathing techniques can be used to take me out of flight or fight quickly.

Very helpful 😊

My PB is 55m FIM and 50 M BI FIN after 3 months of diving :) so it’s very small chance that I’m using reverse packing with frenzel that should be mouthfill, right?? I’m charging at around 17-20 m

Really great content, thank you. Subscribed. I have a question: are you doing special breathing before these breath holds, for example, three seconds in and six seconds out for a few minutes, or are you just doing tidal breathing?

I think the reason why your first bowline doesn´t work is because you are doing it wrong. the end needs to be showing to the other end, not to the bow.

So definitely;y late to the party, but this was very enjoyable. It certainly helped me pinpoint I have left-side flexibility issues.

I love it when you do practical videos.

Hi thanks for your report❤In my opinion from my experience rv if used carefully and with consciousness even to just 4m helps to adapt, relax the mind and the body. If what happens is a blood shift or better, a fast compensation, I do not know. But for sure it seems like it happens. I do not find any benefits goin deeper than 7-8 meters in RV. If one is capable of >100m than maybe is not hard to immagine the reason why one should not practice it the simple reason is: They dont need it! The real problem is that with RV even a newbie is able to replicate pressure from great dephts, non being adapted gradually as you perfectly said. So the risk is enormous. So I would say RV yes but like with O² breathing, non deeper than 4 m. P.s. never ever had to cough on surface mantaining 8m rv max depth. Once on surface i breath shortly out and gradually in slowly to fill my lung. Never ever more than a 30 sec dive, anyhow always with great reserve of oxygen once at the surface

You are amazing

Where are you located

Great philosophies 🙏

wow all this thing about self sabotage is so true I think i understand better what i'm going throught with my freediving right know , i reach 50m last year and this year i had 3 weeks of training and i wanted to go to 60m...well things didn't go as wanted and i just was blocked mentaly after 40m , all the 40m dives felt easy , no hypoxia , clean but everytime i tried going a little bit deeper something felt off and i early turned...

Great video. Would you recommend doing tables once per day or more than once? Let's say 6 or 8 reps of 2:00 no cоntraction holds once per day. Would this be enough? Increasing some seconds every week.

Good advice. Keep uploading.

Good to know about these cases. Paradoxically, the lanyard raises the risk in many scenarios.

Nice video and good recap. Small correction: Early start is yellow card -1 point per 5 sec not dsq art. 10.3 🤓

I'm not so interested in competing. It's just not my vibe. Some day I would like to participate as a safety diver. I'm not sure what that involves or how to go that route, though.

Lol thats crazy my first comp is in some days its like u made it for me

1:59 just learn mouthfill 😂😂

Empty lungs in the pool! Yuk! I’ll do it and add some extra resistance wearing a t-shirt 👕

Thanks for raising awareness dog!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot Harry for raising awareness! 🙏🏻

scarily informative .. thanks for sharing...

You make the best freediving training content on the interwebs, I have many of your videos bookmarked and come back to them very often. Wish you all the best and hope you'll find some more time and motivation to post more (either on yt, or written form on the blog) :) cheers!

Thanks a lot for this very important video. I rock climbed before I freedived. Rock climbers take care of their equipment a lot more than Freedivers do. I guess it’s because it’s more obvious. I will pay attention more to these “details” when freediving as well so thank you 🙏🏻

Super good video and great reminder to regularly check your equipment.

Thanks a lot for this story. It is scaring for sure, but thank you so much for sharing those informations !

Superb mate. Good stuff

The way I understood it was that as I go deeper on Frenzel, I was automatically reverse packing, but at some point I might need to add a little bit more air consciously as I approached 30m or so by reverse packing. Is that correct? I haven't hit that point yet, but I might soon.

Bro. I had the most unusual intuition to check up on you & here you are uploading a video. Everyone wants to see your new school. Show us around! 😘👌 P.s Big hugs bro & great to see you doing so well! 💙😘💙

welcome back to your channel sir... 🤣 ... thanks for this one... indian seat is very uncomfortable... not relaxing at all... thanks for sharing...

I have more and more students coming with weird ideas of breath-work and breath-hold. Specially when they come from Wim Hof "Method" or any derivates of it. Because many breath work instructors - including Wim Hof - state you can store more oxygen by exaggerated breathing it takes me a lot of effort to teach and convince people that the truth is somewhere else. I would like to hear an episode about this. Cheers from El Hierro to Mexico.

Really appreciate your calm and chill vibe you have on these videos.

Loved those tests mate

Hey Harry thank you so much for your great videos. Question, with only 1 inhale isn't that a CO2 trainig as recovery is not complete ? I had in mind that when doing hypercapnia, recovery is inferior to let's say ~45 seconds and therefore hypoxia is over ~45 seconds.

Does training to hold your breath increase lung capacity or just carbon dioxide tolerance?

Sometimes stress also comes from being in a new environment - i.e. new dive site or different conditions such as larger than usual swell on the surface or lower than average visibility underwater. Sometimes when we go to a new site, we just spend time floating on the surface getting used to it, preparing our minds to dive in the conditions we've encountered. You can be great in one set of conditions and hopeless in another set of conditions. I'm sure you cover that in your classes.
