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.

safetyrules1 .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 !!!!!!
