Why you can't hold your breath longer when spearfishing...

  • I am constantly being asked how can I hold my breath longer when spearfishing and what is my breathe up technique. In this video I am taking a different angle. Not so much things to help you hold your breath but things you might not be aware of that are crippling your breath hold. I am not a trained freediver nor have I had any freediving training. These are my personal experiences in my spearfishing journey and not intended as a substitute for formal training. For anyone wanting to improve their spearfishing I recommend they undertake a spearfishing course. If you’re in Australia you can’t go past these guys www.spearfishingacademy.com.au

    Yessss!!! Coming from a spearo that’s done his aida instructors course, 100% what you said is all on point! Especially about breathing normally! Thank you sooo much! It’s so good to hear it being told correctly and not encouraging any form of hyperventilation

    Daniel, your the Mann. What an excellent presentation. I am a 30sec spearo as I call myself for over 20years now. I have seldom in my life reached 20m and shot tons of fish. No need to stay 3min under, as the man says, relax and just enjoy every dive. Tell all your dive buddies to watch this 15min video. There is absolute nothing more to add for a successful spearo career. A big thank you Daniel.

      I am with you. 20 plus years spent part of that pushing my dive time, but came back to mainly 30 -45 second dives 10-12m , and never go to 20m - but often 5 hours in the water.

  • @ross8cosimo
    @ross8cosimo 3 роки тому +6

    That was all really useful, especially the freediving vs spearfishing parabole, and the fact that passive breathing is the only mechanical component to breath ups. I usually overthink ways to optimize my breath up, and i’m now realizing that often that will lead to me hyperventilating. So I guess thanks for helping keep me alive!

  • @johnallison4688
    @johnallison4688 3 роки тому +23

    Hi Dan, I live in the North West Highlands of Scotland, was a Bsac certified open water instructor for years teaching school kids, always wanted to get in to spearfishing and free diving but had a bad experience a number of years back snorkeling for Scallops,shook me up a bit. I rally need to get an experienced dive buddy so I can get back on it, got new wetsuit/fins and spear gun for Christmas.

  • @JallezJaleel

    Amazing advices, the best that came from a Spearo. I have seen alot of people answer that question and they keep dragging the whole video on how to inhale,exhale , asking to take advance freediving courses :) and they never mention any these factors you have covered. I have been in this spearing for few years and what you have covered are the best tips. The skipper part is the best thing which looses my concentration. Thanks so much

    @alexmacdonald258 Місяць тому +1

    I want to thank you for this video. I had to undergo an MRI yesterday, for a sustained 2 hours. I'm normally not claustrophobic, but in this case, I'll make an exception! I had to hold my breath while they took pictures of my heart for relatively short duration, but only about 20 seconds or so between holds. Was beginning to feel that I didn't have enough recovery time until I recalled what you'd said in this video. Switching to the method you explained, everything went smoothly afterward, so thank you for your priceless instruction. And while the process wasn't fun, I did learn that the "plumbing" and delivery systems are in absolutely top notch shape, even for somebody who's 75 years old! So it's back in the water where I belong, and thanks again!

    @nickmyers9322 3 роки тому +2

    Good advise, as usual. Especially the bits about weighting and relaxing (which is what a good breath up really is). However, I think in your Ferrari analogy you are referring to competitive freediving versus spearfishing or freediving for its own sake. As far as I'm concerned, if you hold your breath and dive under the surface, you are freediving, whether you are hunting fish or just exploring the underwater environment. In both cases, your point about dealing with varying conditions in a real-world environment is right on the money. And it's more fun!

  • @andreteixeira7704
    @andreteixeira7704 3 роки тому +2

    You hit the right point. Most of us, mostly beginners, are to much focused in getting a bigger breath hold with breathing techniques that they miss on getting alt the other techniques right. Being relaxed, duck dive, stay as much hydrodynamic as possible…. If we manage to dive efficiently we will natural increase our breath hold. We also need to have in mind that we aren´t everytime and every day with the same stamina, endurance due to not resting well, not eating well, stress….we need to learn to read our body and this comes with many and many hours.
    Thank you for another good Video

    • @AntiVaganza
      @AntiVaganza 3 роки тому +1

      Very good point on the changes from day to day. Spearos have been caught out on that before. Thinking that they can normally do an X minute dive and then pushing for that and not really noticing that they are tired, didn't sleep or eat well or can't really reach the right level of relaxation. Hence why having bottom time targets can be a dangerous thing.
