I know it’s a bit early but I’ll be running week long workshops at Y-40 in February. Only 3 students on the line per session. Weekdays diving because weekends are very busy. Cost will be €500 which includes teaching and pool access. For accommodation we usually rent a place to share and chill 😊 As far I know, I’m probably the only instructor doing week long workshops and with so few students per session, so you’ll get good quality teaching 😊💪🏼 Let me know if you wanna join and I’ll add you to the Free Flow fam WhatsApp group 🙏🏼🫶🏼

I would like to know if there are still good places to freedive and hows the current on those spots? :)

Hello friends.

I have tried and succeed using the required muscles to hands free after trying for 2-3 months. I was trying like crazy each day and many tries in the day.

I followed Adam’s freediver video techniques. But what really helped me I think was when I succeed to yawn with the mouth closed. That last yawn part was the final part of hands free.

I’d say try try try try. Do not stop guys. You will succeed at the end. I was using frenzel and atm I use mixed frenzel and hands free.

So as I said after 3 months im practising the last weeks to use hands free in the water. After 2-3 dives I succeed to dive at 12 meters but with slow decent like in 18-25s seconds. I’m moving very fast the part in my throat.

But I think that you need to somehow push tiny air amount that will be pushed to the eustachian tubes.

So my question is. When you guys wearing the mask and trying to hands free what do you feel. Do you feel any air flowing to the nose and back?

So I did wave 1 almost a year ago, and then had intensive water sessions and was able to dive to 32m PB. FIM & CWTB, static 3 min.

What do you guys think?

Should I take:

• Wave 2 (I have read the manual and most of seems familiar to me and I already qualify all the requirements) OR
• Wave 3 (it should be challenging and informative, especially with mouthfill but doable)

Would love to know your thoughts guys and if anyone had similar experience

I just watched Daniel Mann's video on his time competing in the Euro Africa spear fishing competition. The format is set up so that every spear fisher has their own boat and driver. On one of the days Daniel claims he did 150 dives in 5 hours, ofter to 25+ meters. How is this safe? Especially in offical competition!

Had anyone encounter a freediver using gull fins with their long One? The purely rubber fins? Would they be just fine Like wouldnt affect much the relaxation In freediving? What Is your Take? Carbon fins Is so Fragile but the gull long fins seems Will last forever?

Anyone know any freediving courses or clubs for beginners in Dublin, Ireland? Can't seem to find any regular training courses that aren't just 1 or 2 days long!

I'm searching for a mask. Most masks I've tried have a great seal for me.

In the end, I narrowed it down to three options: Salvimar Noah, Mares X-tream, and Omer (forgot the type).

I really like the Salvimar Noah because it has great vision. However, the nose pocket is a bit too large for me since I have a small nose.
I'm afraid that will make it difficult to equalize underwater. The Mares X-tream's nose pocket fits me very well, but I personally think the field of view isn't great. I can clearly see the upper frame when I wear it.
The Mares X-tream mask also seems very small and looks a bit funny on my face.

Does anyone have any mask recommendations for people with small noses? Of course, I'll still try them on at my local dive shop before making a final decision.

as the title says i'm looking for remote free diving spots on thassos. i will be staying in limenaria, but don't mind going anywhere for good spots as long as there's something nice to see. also would like any recommendations on what i should visit there. caves, wrecks, reefs etc.

after the last post some users said to use frenzel.After 1-2 day i think i got it, I just do not know am i doing advanced valsalva or frenzel my lung dose muve but i can barely notice it.What i think is happening is that my glotis opens just a bit an lets some air in.Is that a problem?

Hey guys so as the title says I’m looking at these fins to begin. I got molchanovs silicone series but they just don’t fit at all and since they’re closed, it’s very inconvenient. Anyway, my question is about this - anyone had them, knows anything about it? Any info appreciated 🤗

Hi everyone,

I'm new to freediving and recently got a pair of Cressi fins. The width of the foot pockets fits really well, especially with socks, but I'm having an issue with the length. My toes don't extend out of the foot pocket hole. Will this be a problem when using the fins?

I've been borrowing fins from my diving school, but they didn't fit well and scratched my feet. Should I consider going down a size? I'm currently using size 42/43; maybe I should try size 40+?

Thanks for your help!

I’m thinking of Croatia for a liveaboard trip this fall/winter (December Jan or march likely)

Any recommendations? Spots companies or even other places that direction I should check out?

Hi, is there always be a popping sound when going deeper during equalizalization? My ears don't pop when I'm in 5 meters below but it's not also hurting. I'm scared to go down since when I equalize, i don't hear the popping sound.

Would like to hear about physical benefits, and less about mental benefits

Hi,
I am thinking about buying a new dive computer. I currently run the Cressi Nepto, which has all the basic fuctions I need. I'd like the G1 because I can use it for lap swimming as well. Wondering if these functions exist?

-Surface interval countdown, configurable (for example, on the nepto, I have it set to x3 times the dive time which works for most of my dives except for the deepest ones)
-Displaying depth, time, and speed. The depth and time are in large letters on the cressi.
-Any way to display the heart rate in the surface mode? I think it might be a good way to detect HV.

Overall, how do you like it compared to a dedicated freediving computer?

or some reason all the store has been recommending me Innegra. but somehow i think the response isnt as good. if hypetex product line is as robust as their normal carbon, i will take it. it is advertised for deeper freediving, but now im spearfishing deeper so i might need somethnig like that.

i don't get why people hate Valsalva

Hello Freedivers,

I have been diving for a couple of years now and have been able to equalize no problem, however for the past 2-3 months I have been having issues.

Issue: I have had super clean sinuses, no noticeable mucus, then get in the water get ready, do one prep dive to 5-10 meters. I am able to equalize and all is okay. get back to the surface relax and then on the second dive I am unable to pass 2-2.5 meters. Then I start to notice mucus/clogs in my sinuses.
I feel pressure/pain on my head behind my left ear towards the top of my head. I immediately stop and go back to the surface and try to clear sinus and relax but I am unable to dive past 2-2.5 meters again.
I have gone on diving trips and had to do snorkeling instead, so that I dont get barotrauma. I am here hoping someone know something that can help.

Has anyone had anything similar? Any advise?

P.S.: I went to the doctor 3 times and every time she looks in my ears and say that there is no infection and that its probably a matter of time.

Hello, this is a question for fellow hijabi freediving girls. I adore freediving and spearfishing but I started wearing a full body hijab and I can't wear my wetsuit only anymore. Does wearing covering clothes like long dress over the wetsuit cause any discomfort or will it be dangerous ?

To be fair, it was on dry land laying down, but I'm still proud of it. I'll find a buddy and a pool to practice in as soon as I can!

Can someone reccomend a physical store where I can buy weights in Barcelona or Girona?

The Cressi website says the shorter sprint fins are “designed to meet the needs of freedivers and spearfishers who practice this sport in wintertime and when a fin as long as impulse is not necessary.”

Does anyone know what the copywriter meant about wintertime?
