But more importantly, are you going to get 'round to entering, Dave? If so, could you kindly not do a DNF?

Re: [News] New Zealand's freedivers prepare for pool comp

Well I was quite looking forward to another quiet weekend of spearfishing. But have now entered (or will have, when my scanned entry form makes it's way through) so it looks like I'll be joining you.

Erm. Will probably do nofins as I'm going to spend the next couple of months focusing on not being quite so shyte at it. Sorry But I won't do a DYN if that makes you feel any better...?

Re: [News] New Zealand's freedivers prepare for pool comp

"It is thought that freediving athletes who dive under these conditions will have a higher concentration of red blood cells for 10-14 days, giving them a competitive advantage. " - this is a very confused statement about competing versus training at altitude.
