I haven't posted on SB in some time but while exercising this morning, thought of an idea to post this to the scuba search and rescue community.
So I found this guy, Gilles Essiembre, who has a company out of Canada called O2 Max. He founded the company after "curing" his best friend's asthma with a 4-step process using a bag, an oximeter, a treadmill and a spirometer. He then worked with a former IDF Commander who hired him to train his lungs and CV system. He then visited the Garden of the Gods in Cuba and raved about the diving. The guy then told us that he had massive bottom time and was extending his time on his nitrox tanks and coming up with way more air than the DMs. He said the shore diving he did was the best he'd ever done because...his breathing was slower, he had more lung volume and had greater CO2 tolerance. He told me it was a game changer for divers.
I'm on his protocol and have increased my lung volume by 1.25 Liters. He has done this for NHL players, UFC fighters, boxers, climbers, swimmers and now divers.
This is a game changer for those who love the water or make their living in search and rescue. I met an FBI Hostage Rescue Team member today at the pool and gave him Gilles' info. They are amped to get on his protocol. He can do virtual training as he uses the aforementioned gear that he will send you. The training is common sense and only requires 15 minutes of training 3 times a week and 20 minutes of treadmill time once a week with his bag for 6 weeks. It runs $1250 for the program. He will also come train a group if it's large enough and can reduce the cost to $800 per diver if the group is large enough.. The guy is the GURU of breath maximization. This is not aerofit or any of those cheap ineffective gadgets...this is professional respiratory therapist level training. It will blow your mind at its effectiveness.
