Hey guys,

New to the freediving and spearfishing world... Wanted to know if anyone knows of any exercises to extend your breath holding time, as well as the best way to deal with the underwater pressures on your mask and ears. I can clear my ears fine and always on the first time. The main issues i am having are my breath hold and pressures on my mask. I think I have the mask thing figured out because i actually spent some good money on a decent mask.

Thanks
Ty

welcome to the sport . Go to a dive shop and ask for a book called " manual of freediving" I think that's the name. On the other hand you can ask people here in your area to take you out and just learn from them , I hope someone is kind enough to do that for you. Don't just get any gear , ask , and see what's best for you.
