To all the fish (72 Members) in this group: check out the calendar here! This is the date and time when Renee is running a new freediving training session! I can tell from experience - her knowledge and skills are amazing - she helped the members of the 2 groups of last year quite a bit - for me it was more than doubling the time of breathhold! :) If you have time - come on and join! The more the merrier! Just because Renee doesn't charge doesn't mean it has no value! What else could one possibly do on a saturday??? ;) PS - talking about the more - if everybody sends out one invite to their diving buddies we could become a really great community - sharing tips and locations of cool diving spots in the respective home country (just a thought).

Hey y'all, for the upcoming training - if it is taking place - I might come in about 30 to 40 minutes late... In the meantime I did some consistent repetitions of using the lumbar stretch device and breathing slowly in and out for 10 minutes - so far my result is 14 breaths. Anyone taking up the challenge? If you don't have a lumbar stretch device you can also use a yoga block ;) What type of training are you doing now? hope we get some activities going up again... cheers Martin PS - by the way - we are over 70 members now! I know the time zones might not work for everybody - but hey maybe we can have some fun on saturday!?

What a question - every year the same - even though this year is different - at least for me. Let me tell you... 2025 I started to think about all the fun I always have in the water be it a lake, a creek, or an ocean. And at the same time I found Renee's offer for the FreedivingX course. Pay 300 $, learn new things, participate every session, and get your money back! What an offer! Nothing to loose and loads to learn from a professional competitive freediver. Since it was quite some time since I was active in underwater rugby and other fun things I started basically at 0 - about 3 minutes of breath holding time. At the end of the course I could reach 6 minutes. Still not my PB when I was 28 - but getting there. 😀 But back to the question - what are my goals? + getting rid of this stupid cold right now 🤧 + living more concious + 6 week prep course for Dahab + Having lots of fun in Dahab + Freediver certificate lvl 1 + Experiencing greater depths (maybe reaching 40?) + getting involved with the Austrian freediving community + keeping my training up and see how it changes my skills till the end of 2026 Now it is your turn! What are you looking for? What will you achieve? Where will you travel and dive? Who will you dive with? 😉 Enjoy the last few days of 2025 - It was a good year! Remember: It is your life! Make the best of every minute - nobody else will...

To all the beautiful freediver here who love to do it deeper and hold their breath too ;) a very merry Xmas to all of you and a happy new year 🎄 see you all in Dahab :D https://www.reneeblundon.com/freedivingx-dahab-experience/ Martin
