So I started my first freediving experience like year ago watching a lot of Gert's videos,, today I'm certified AIDA 3 freediver and thanks to Gert's helpful tutorials as well! Big Thanks! Cheers from Norway
Hello friend Im from Philippine I’m live in Siquijor Island, but I’m now here in Taiwan for work. I hope someday if you going back in Siquijor in my place I see in personal cuz I want to learn a lot of techniques for holding breath for a longer time. God bless always 👌👌👌
Thanks a lot for your videos Gert, i found them very helpful. I am woundering, how do you take a big breath thru the snorkel? Or do you put the snorkel away to take this breath and then dive? Cheers!
there are several ways to take a final breath. one would be through the snorkel when you're floating face down. You do it the same way as described in the video. It will feel different, but try to engage the 2 or 3 parts.
Hey Gert, thank you for all the experience you're sharing! It really helps a lot! There is a problem with my final breath. Taking the 3-part final breath during dry training, it feels like the air in lungs makes high pressure on the vocal folds. So it requires extra effort to keep the vocal folds tightly closed (hence stimulating tension in the neck) or, if the neck being relaxed, air starts sipping in mouth after some time of the breathhold. The latter bothers me a lot during the relaxation phase making it shorter and not-that-relaxed. Is there any excercise to keep the vocal folds tightly closed without causing extra neck-tension? Peace!
yes there is. it's called stripe bretahing. exhale through the mouth and then shut of the air coming out by closing the vocal folds. do this many times in 1 exhalation. aah / aah / aah /... Another thing you could use a nose clip but then you're not training to close your vocal cords
well.. that all depends on what you use them for. For beginners make sure you can keep them on for at least an hour without your feet getting hurt. For competitive freedivers they use tighter fits but can only use them for 10-15 mins. The footpocket should fit well, but not too tight.
@@anthon2915 wait as long as you can to buy new fins. Also dynamic apnea is different from deep diving. Probably you still need to progress in deep diving a lot. Use your money to follow courses or coaching. ✌️
@@gertleroy I reckon it happens because as 4th part I try to keep a bit of air in my mouth and later when I start having contractions I push it down to my lungs..so mouth has to be empty and relaxed?
@@ntartienii when you close your mouth there will always be air inside. it's never empty. the moment you put your lips together you are trapping air inside. don't overthink this. certainly don't use the tongue. just close your mouth and know there will be air inside.
Dont you love that dream relaxation but beginners dont forget to save enough air to get back.i hear you just giving up life for the dive because it is life.its when i woke up and learned without study.
@@gertleroy i had a brain/ mind change and suddenly i found that from the day i forgot about problems and didnt think of anything under the water- i just didnt need to breathe .somebody said they found diving and they knew they were alive. Hope that explains it.

@@gertleroy Thank you so much, Gert!

How should fins feel on your feet? Is a slight squeeze good or not 🤔
well.. that all depends on what you use them for. For beginners make sure you can keep them on for at least an hour without your feet getting hurt. For competitive freedivers they use tighter fits but can only use them for 10-15 mins. The footpocket should fit well, but not too tight.
@@gertleroy got it 👌 thanks. Do you thing seac fuga fins are ok for a beginner like me?
@@anthon2915 if you're an absolute beginner yes
@@gertleroy i have done 75meters dynamic apnea with them, is that still beginner level or should i invest in better fins?

Hi Gert!
I often finish having my tongue pushing up the extra air towards the top of my mouth..is it correct?
never heard of that! i would't recommend it.. the less movement the better

@@gertleroy thanks Gert..great work

not sure what you're trying to say here buddy..

@@WATOresearch that's awesome! Yes diving is a cure. We all need it ✌️
