Hi all
Here are a few diving fitness tips
1, If your club has pool nights sessions, then when kitted up do ten lengths of the pool on your back, as fast as you can just trawling up and down, as this will get you legs on the way to becoming water fit.
2, To check your sac or improve you water fitness further, then drop down to the deep end and checking your contents gauge make a note of what you have in you tank/tanks.
Drop to pool bottom swim up to the pool wall and push it for 10 minutes fining at a good steady rate. This gets you rather warm but is the only way, apart from diving all the time to get your finning action, legs, lungs water fit.
After 10 minutes check your contents gauge and deduct one from the other e.g. say you used 20 bar in 10 minutes
So you would have for e.g. 20 times size of tank say 12 litres =240 litres divided by 10 minute = 24ltrs per minute
a good average.
As you become fitter experienced ect this will drop to round 12 to 15ltrs per minute.
Hope this helps
