Happy new year to you as well- Good question! I suppose practice makes perfect- For me contractions or “breathing reflexes” are not something that stresses me out. I’ve been a freediving instructor since 2016 now and Over time you become really accustomed to it. Although I think when doing static I find they are much more intense than if I’m recreationally diving or spearfishing I’m usually more relaxed. When I’m just left to my thoughts floating on the surface contracting it’s a bit harder to smile 😬 !! But fun fact: smiling even when you are not happy tricks your brain into thinking you are happy! Hence the “fake it till you make it” phrase. So sometimes when you see Freediver’s smiling allot before a dive they might be trying to tap into this! 😆 🙃

@@tridentfreediversbarbados Wow! Thats was a super nice answer! Thank you so much! I also get contractions underwater when freediving, nad i dont mind it alot myself either. I actually like the feeling of holding my breath

Happy new year!! Same to you!!

They definitely do! I didn’t personally feed them here but there are some tour operators who do throw fish overboard. Originally the tour operators noticed that the turtles always hang out near the fisheries where fishermen will clean fish and throw overboard- for example at oistins jetty there are always loads of turtles. Apparently they are not fast enough to catch fish but will happily scavenge carcasses. And I think even though it’s not ideal to disrupt their natural feeding pattern- the fact that many tourists come to Barbados to see Them has also gone hand in hand with their being protected in our island and valued highly as a tourism attraction. When I was a kid they used to sell Turtle Shell jewelry at the beach and now they sell Turtle tours! Which seems so natural to me that they should be protected but I recently travelled to Grenada and there the turtles have an open season- which apparently isn’t adhered to much and it’s basically open season for turtles all the time but specifically during their nesting times when they catch them on the beaches .. which is just horrible! Especially when you see dead hawksbills etc which are endangered.. so I suppose it’s not ideal that the turtles are being fed by tour operators but also it’s better than some alternative situations as well? What do you think?

@@tridentfreediversbarbados I haven't been in Barbados so I'm not familiar with the laws & regulations there, but in the USA & the territorial waters sea turtles are protected under state & federal laws. Tampering with nests is strictly prohibited, & doing so can earn you a hefty fine. What happens here in some places is wildlife officials & workers dig up the eggs & take them to a hatchery, releasing the turtles once they're large enough that the birds & fish can't eat them. I'm seeing more & more where wildlife is pushing back into civilization. We encounter a lot of deer in town, mostly on the outskirts, & we need to watch out for them while driving. My personal rule & practice - whether on land or underwater - is to respect wildlife & enjoy from a safe distance. Not only for the wildlife's well-being but the human's safety as well. I saw where a diver lost a finger to a moray eel. He was feeding them hot dogs & one of them mistook his finger for one & bit it off. Sometimes my navel piercing reflects the sunlight which attracts the fish, & I've gotten nipped by fish a few times! And of course NEVER touch coral!

Wow that would be crazy to see a working one! We have one here but it’s a big one and it goes on an outer bank. I see it from the fishing boat at times but never in the water

Thank you! You too!

Thank you very much! Happy holidays! 🎉

Thank you so much! It really is a magical place. ☺️

So dreamy ❤❤❤

Amazing edit baby. Was pulling to keep up with you that day.😂😂

Gracias! 🙏

It’s all calculated risk- you don’t actually need “air” for allot longer than you think. It’s more about building tolerance to Co2 😎

Thanks! I’m not the best at static tbh.. I prefer deep diving or wreck diving. My mind is more quiet.. if I’m just floating on the surface holding my mind races too much 😊

@@tridentfreediversbarbados Thats amazing, i am born side by side of a big lake, and I freedived there all the time every summer. Its an amazing feeling. How deep is the bottom under the ship?

Aye!
