What training/experiences make for better scuba divers
I've been watching a thread get a bit out of whack and the subject kinda drifted to something about hands entangled, so, thought I'd start a thread in that jist of things.
Here's a thought I had.. if you really want to get to where you can maintain some composure when sh!+ hits the fan underwater while scuba diving, come with me down about 100' on just a breath.. I don't think there is one thing that compares to the calming effect you will have scuba diving after having learned to freedive. Even though I don't scuba often.. and because of this I know, since I took up freediving, my air use when I scuba is similar or better to someone who has far more experience than I do. One think you learn real quick in freediving is... you have time, so take your time. Controlling your adrenaline and heart rate is a must. I also believe our dark water experiences have almost as much benefit to remaining calm if there is adversity while scuba diving. All of a sudden, diving in blue water is like a dream compared to what we normally see. Which sometimes, isn't much. Fred
Cold and dark down there huh?
