Freediving Q&A webinar Aug 27, 2013

Better understanding of freediving physiology with Aharon Solomons, from www.freedivers.net
- DCS risk explanation
- Pippin announced 5 x 100 mt NLT dives, done in 30 min -- extremely high risk to fall from DCS
- His student done 4 x 120 and later 4 x 100 mt NLT dives in a day. In result got paralyzed
- packing as a great chance to increase DCS, and more over a great risk for NO narcosis
- Tanya Streeter suffered from narcosis on the bottom
- Aleksei is packing just to compensate difference between full breath on surface and submerged
- Effort involved in taking huge breath is really great. Diaphragm, chest etc are experiencing pressure
- Aleksei did 129 CWT in VertBlue and fell down lower the plate looking for tag. Narcosis
- Pippin floods his sinus and middle ear on the way down
- Greek sponge divers had burst eardrums with flood coming in
- competition in indonesia of Ama divers - used same technique with head-down drops up to 70 mt
- and they used large volume masks and doing BTV
- some of them practiced partial exhalation before they went down
- myoglobin and hemoglobin ratio of sea elephant is reverse from ours
- and they dive with empty lungs
- good RV STA does not usually correlate with full lung STA and pool DYN. But it grows much faster
- logic to switch technology and try alternative way to reach new records
- arrive of monofin on competitions
- people adapting to dive without goggles
- allergic reactions preventing us from EQ in the right ear
- making test and knowing what you are allergic for

I watched almost the whole video. Your video is always good and explanative to me. first thank you for making video. in korea there are very little infomation about Freediving. Here are not much Freedivers. so I have a quation. 3 weeks ago, I passed through license AIDA BASIC via AFIA which is korea institution about Freediving. This is only one institution to learn Freediving in korea. but the license didn't still arrive. I wonder what is the problem about shipping or issuance.AFIA just say that AIDA did not issue the license. I need AIDA license to enter the diving pool which demand AIDA license. I'm very sorry to tell you dissatisfaction but I can't get correct information here. I really love freediving and want to practice equalization that you explained in video. once again thank you for your freediving video!!

+신대철 hey mate, you should go on AIDA's facebook page and ask there, someone more responsible will be able to help you :)

+신대철 I'd say go to aidainternational.org/contact-us and contact AIDA directly.
