I'm more impressed by spearos going down for several minutes, swimming hard, doing work, fighting a fish on a line and coming back up. I can manage 1:30 with that kind of activity but I have met folks who can go several minutes.
- exikyut 8y agoI'm very curious: once you've practiced for a bit, are you still having a gigantic fight with your brain/lungs to take a breath, or is that "put off" until, in your case, 1:30?
- anitil 8y agoNot GP, but have trained freediving and used to spearfish almost daily. There is usually an easy period until the desire to breath starts, from 1 to 2 minutes in. The next minute or so is tricky, you get contractions as your body tries to breathe. After that you start to slowly zone out, but you're no longer in pain. Eventually the world closes in around you. When spearfishing you're typically fairly conservative and never get past the first easy section.
- exikyut 8y agoHuh, so that uncomfortableness thing actually lengthens with time. Interesting. </completely_naive> :) Adds learning how to hold breath safely to todo list (Todo list falls over)
