For a while now I've been realizing that my fitness levels have dropped significantly. When I had to take the 200m fitness test for the PADI Open Water course, the fact that I got out of breath shocked me. PADI further recommends that you build your fitness levels for longer and more enjoyable dives.
So how do you guys keep your fitness level up? Or do you find yourself out of breath underwater?
I have decided to take up jogging, which is all a bit novel for me but I found a great technique for starting out using the Couch 2 5k approach, I've shared the links in my blog about my adventures with jogging Learning to dive and the fish thereafter... ...not quite as fun as scuba, but good for the body and mind!
