    Thoughts on Avanti Quattro Power (not Quattro +) fins?

Fins that could...

    Maintaining Neutral Buoyancy w/ Proper Trim with Weights Only (for pool/snorkeling/spearfishing)

    Any suggestions on the best option here or that I haven't thought of? For the case where you will just be a few feet under water 99% of the time and so a BCD would be massive overkill. All of these prices do not include the actual weights, which in my case must be coated or otherwise sealed...

    What percent of oxygen should you go to the surface for freediving?

    Hello, When using an oximeter or a similar device to monitor oxygen levels during freediving, what is the percent/number that you should start to ascend for (ex. do I start ascending at 90% ,80% , etc.?) I know the precents can vary between beginners and advanced free divers so I want to know...

    Neuroscience of the Breathhold

    I made a brief video about the neurobiology of holding your breath. In brief, two regions in the brain stem, the pre-Bötzinger complex and the retinotrapezoid nucleus are mainly responsible for automatic breathing. The motor cortex and the cerebellum are the regions responsible for willfully...

    Freediving Fins

    Wetsuit for Scuba + Free diving

    Hi, I'm into both scuba and free diving, but at this point I don't do enough of either of them to justify buying one wetsuit for each.

Without compromising the durability, warmth, and mobility? The water is generally 10-15 Celsius. I would...
