Getting lazy about doing these blogs at the moment so short blog this time I reckon but let's see how this goes.
Free diving - started my free diving the other week such an amazing feeling!
We started at 8:30 in the morning learning what we would be doing over our to day course then our instructor told us to hole our breath to see what we could do I managed 1.43. We then moved onto the breathing exercises and tried again improved to 2.15 couldn't be leave it! From just knowing how to slow your heart rate you breath hole goes up so much. Got changed into our wetsuits and started iur dyometic exercises on the beach taking all we learned and putting that into practice, Laura was teaching us the proper form to free dive. Had our lunch break but shouldn't eat to much or have any caffein as that wouldn't help us free diving. After lunch we got changed and all jumped into the boat and went out to go free diving first just getting ourself's used to equalising head first then moving on to duck diving down. After a few hours we did our last dive before going snorkelling on my last dive I made it down to 15M on my first day! Couldn't be leave it.
Once we got to the snorkelling place we all had to use the buddy system as when you free dive you Never! Dive alone, We followed the dive masters to some caves you could dive down to and swim though and there was a lot of caves do about an hour doing that then back to call it a day. Then spent my evening reading up on the cause and filling in the Questions at the end if every chapter.
Second day again early start class room start today we would be practicing the skills part of the cause :-
Duck Dive down to 10M and only use your arms to swim up, Dive down to 10M and take off your mask and swim up, And finally safe someone from 10M.
So once again practice that in the dyometrik at the beach with the training lunch break then out to finish our level 1 free diving cause, There was three of us doing this together me and Jeremy passed without a hitch making it down to 18M but Pipper didn't as she couldn't make it down to 10M she was having trouble equalising and she's a dive master (Scuba) after that amazing snorkelling again in and around the caves, And that night I could drink again so went out and partied.
Few days after went to the castle party with around half the hostel at the time we all got so drunk the rest of the night became a blur to mush happy gas for one night that's for sure.
Then two days after that booked in my free - free dive with Blue Immersion and had someone at the hostel that had just finished his cause the day before so that was pretty sweet, We got suited and all set up then got told we could have our own bouy so that we could just dive by ourself's which gave us more diving time. After a few hours diving and making it to 21M was a happy boy that's for sure! Snorkelling came after but was a little to choppy to go the usual place so just had to go around serry beach around the reef.
