Instagram post 2175414649557984549_1782436200 Why it is a good idea to have positive buoyancy on the last meters (from 8-10 lets say) of your ascent? Because it helps to save some energy/oxygen and avoid SWB!

Instagram post 2174014772806650667_1782436200 What to do if you are not happy with your DYN/DNF turns? Work on them separately! I perosnally like to do it as a pyramid: Push from a wall, glide, do a turn. Have enough rest. On the next attempt do 2 turns. Next time 3, etc. When the number of turns becomes a challenge, do backward - on each attempt do 1 turn less. Can repeat the whole pyramid a few times.

Ideally, your personal skills set should be already quite good even before it and then you can concentrate only on "teaching part" of it. And this is not an easy part at all! You will learn how to teach theory, skills both in a pool and open water, providing safety and removing stress from your students. . . . . #freedive #freediveearth #freedivegirl #freedivers #freedivinginstructor #padiinstructor #breathhold #apneatraining #padicourse #padicertified #mypadi #kohtaofreediving #thailandfreediving #islandhopping #noairneeded #travellingthailand
Instagram post 2171103215877370482_1782436200 One of the most common mistakes in DYNb (probably second after looking forward) is bending a knee. And quite often solution is a simple advise - "don't bend your knee". But is it a problem or a result of another problem? We believe that in most cases it is a second. And the problem is lack of foot position control Lets have a look how it works. When you kick forward, your ankle is straight and couldn't bend in an opposite direction just physiologically. But what happens when you kick backward? Now your ankle CAN bend in the opposite direction of the movement. And because you have long fins, it happens quite naturally. And then, at the endpoint, to initiate the kick forward you HAVE TO bend your knee. How to prevent it? Pretty simple - control your ankle position. Your foot should be always pointed (naturally when you kick forward and consciously when you kick backward). . . . . #holdyourbreath #maresjustaddwater #lifeunderwater #freediver #padifreediver #padicourse #padidiver #freedivinginstructor #padiinstructor #underwateradventures #freedivingkohtao #freedivingthailand
Instagram post 2169690471211139229_1782436200 What is the point to increase results with just "pushing your limits" without improving your technique? Better technique is making you a better Freediver. PB is just a number.
Instagram post 2168216464800373923_1782436200 On any of our Freediving courses, one of the important skills is safety for another freediver. Quick reminder of how to do it. 1. Meet a freediver on a certain depth (usually around 1/3 of the freediver's depth) 2. Escort to the surface watching for any syphtoms of SWB 3. Keep watching on the surface untill the freediver fully recovered 4. Be ready to deal with LMC/SWB
Instagram post 2167505305382296024_1782436200 From the beginning of this year on our PADI Freediver course, we started introducing some of the skills from open water in our pool (3.2 meters deep). And it makes a huge difference for the student! What are we working on? 1. FIM enters and first couple of pulls with a couple of equalization in the upside-down position 2. Duck dive and correct positioning along the line
Instagram post 2165328657345999953_1782436200 I am surprized why not everyone are using pully system for rope managment on an open water session? Any reason? If you don't know what it is and how to use it - check out our last video about pulling system from @octopus_freediving

Instagram post 2149362012982814506_1782436200 So, how to do so called "No contraction table"? 1. Do 4-6 breath holds until you have a first contraction 2. Try to delay your first contraction as long as you can 3. Have a nice rest between attempts 4. Have a right goal, which is not time (at least it is not a main goal), but rather enjoyment of the process and total relaxation
Instagram post 2148681629446369164_1782436200 Tomorrow on our YT channel going to be a video about "No contraction STA table" - one of the best STA for beginners and intermediate Freedivers!

Instagram post 2140705850582153839_1782436200 After loooooong break in DNF training, it is time to come back!😁 Goal is 140 by the end of this year (currently 120). Time to suffer😁 May Force Be With Me😁😁

Instagram post 2137774413247708670_1782436200 And one more time about the difference between aerobic and anaerobic processes. The aerobic process happens only when enough O2 is available. Benefits - most efficient way to produce energy. Disadvantage - require O2, produce CO2 as a byproduct (which create "urge to breath") The anaerobic process happens when there is not enough O2. Benefits - not using O2 to produce energy. Disadvantage - produce significantly less amount of energy than the aerobic process, produce lactic acid (which create "pumping feelings" in the muscles)
