Safety
Below, you will find 10 basic rules to keep you safe. These rules are designed to help you dive better while maintaining a high level of safety.
I must state that even while following those rules things can happen, and that there is no substitute to propper education.
1 .Never Freedive alone! Partner in the water.
- So many things can happen...
2 .Never Freedive after scuba. (12 hours)
- Decompression / silent bubbles
3 .Do not hyperventilate before Freediving!
- High risk of Shallow water blackout !!!
4. Never exhale during a Freedive!
- Risk of blackou
5. Correct breathing after surfacing.
- The no' 1 reason for LMC (samba)
6 .Choose your equipment wisely!
7. Equalize o the way down – never on the way up. Never use ear plugs. Never dive sick.
- Rule of thumb: If you feel pain - you went too far !!
8. Move slowly! Quick movements use more O2 and are usually less efficient.
- faster is not allways better...
9. Always use a buoy during practice (fishing is considered practice)
- So that boats / other divers can spot you.
- So that you can use it as support in case of trouble
10. Never push it!!! Don’t dive over your 80%.
- No fish is big enough to die for !!!!!!
