Freedive Training update
Friday April 14, 2006
20 min on the treadmill from 3 to 13 incline at a steady pace of 2.5 mph.
Saturday April 15, 2006
20 minutes on the bike, interval training level 3
Sunday April 16, 2006
Got out to the Eau Claire YMCA pool with Bryan this morning. Very light training. Did maybe four 25m's, one 32, and one 37m with fins on, slow with 10 or so breaths in between. Then did a couple 25m's dolphin as fast as possible. 4 or 5 dives to the bottom with 10 to 15 kicks - empty lungs. Then a few laps without fins including to 25m dynamics.
All in all very enjoyable to get back in the water!

Back in Alberta!
Well we're back home in Calgary, Alberta. I've managed to hook up with two local freedivers and am getting excited about our first road trip to saskatchewan in May.
Monday I hit our new excercise bike for 20 minutes. Tried to use the cardio settings but it appears the built in heart rate moniter is kaputs.
This morning was another 20 minutes on the bike, intensity level 2, calories burned 120, set on increasing intervals.
Hoping to hit the weights tonight, run tomm morning, bike and / or swim friday, swim sat and swim sunday.
We're also looking forward to a family rock climbing class weekend after next!

Dive # 45 LBTS With Trev 10/8/05
Dive #: 45
Location: Hibiscus street, Lauderdale by the Sea (Marvel's)
Time: 8:00 am show 8:15 go
Dive Time: 99 minutes
PSI Start: 3,200
PSI End: 800
Average depth:16 Ft
Maximum depth: 20 Ft
Water Temperature: 82F
Weight: 8lbs
Exposure Protection: shortie wetsuit, wetsuit socks
Trev and I were up early and headed to the dive shop at 6:30 to get my tanks filled and grab a couple rentals for him. We were in and out and over to LBTS by about 8:05. After waiting for about 15 minutes for the rest of dive crew we geared up and headed out. As we were swimming to the first reef we saw Andrew pull up and frantically assemble his gear. We stopped to float and noticed a northeast bound current pulling us along. After Andrew had assembled his gear and joined us we decided on a dive plan (go to the second reef follow marvel) and dropped down.
Visibility on the first reef was about 8 to 10 feet and we kicked due east to get to the second. Visibility at the second reef was much better and varied from about 10 to almost 20 feet. We pulled south and spotted the usual characters, conch shells, nurse sharks and lobster. We also saw some smaller grouper, and decent size reef snappers as well as a selection of tropicals.
After kicking for an hour or so the reef really seemed to die down, but after another ten minutes we came upon an extremely well built up section of reef that had a lot of life and action. After an hour 15 or so I signaled to Marvel that I thought it was time to turn around. She agreed and started kicking north, then east. We had loaded trev's pockets with what we thought was enough weight, but with the surge, and his full skin he was losing buoyancy as his tank lightened up. At the 99 minute mark he thumbed the dive and after surfacing we found ourselves well, well south of the exit. We started kicking north, and after trev massaged out a cramp we started making some good progress. After exiting it was time for mulligans! I asked trev what he thought about doing the second dive, he couldn't believe how long the first dive was "about three dives back home!" and decided he was done for the day.

Dive # 44 Night Dive w/ Andrew Zero Vis 9/23/05
Dive #: 44
Location: Hibiscus street, Lauderdale by the Sea (Marvel's)
Time: 4:00 pm show 4:30 go
Dive Time: 25 minutes
PSI Start: 3,200
PSI End: 2,800
Average depth:14 ft
Maximum depth: 16ft
Water Temperature: 82F
Weight: 8lbs
Exposure Protection: shortie wetsuit, wetsuit socks
Met Andrew at 4pm at Marvel's place. The past few weeks had been stormy with plenty of wind surf and rain, so we were expecting poor visibility. On dropping in we realized the vis was worse than expected at about 3 to 6 feet. Andrew and I stayed on the first reef (but in retrospect should have headed to the second immediately) and started heading in a southerly direction. Normally navigation is easy on the reef stay on the west side and you will always have sand to the right of you. Within about 15 minutes we'd been turned around in the zero vis and ended up heading due east. After reaching the eastern edge of the reef we surfaced to discuss. Andrew had his compass so we decided he would lead us south. After another ten minutes of meandering around andrew thumbed the dive and we headed in.

Met Marvel at 6pm at her place. We geared up, and headed in. At the surface there was no current and no waves. After dropping down we felt a bit of a north running current and swam south on the first reef line. The reef was sandy and vis was clouded but there were still lots of fish to see. After a 45 minute swim, we turned to return to home. As soon as we turned around we found we actually had a bit of current running. Marvel spread her arms to indicate she was flying and we floated back home!

Dive Time: 111 minutes
PSI Start: 3,300

Marvel, Steve, Krista, Blondey (Scubaboard nicname ;) ) and I met at Marvel's at around 7:30 / 8:00am. After some humming and hawing over the less than ideal conditions we bit the bullet and suited up.
On the way out to the second reef I spotted a smallish Nurse Shark nestled inside a hole in the reef. Visibility was a murky 25 feet or so and was very silty, lots of somethin floating around. We continued out to the second reef and because of an outgoing tide it was a pretty easy swim.
At the second reef we headed south and stayed on the western edge of the reef where we toured for an hour or so. I saw two live (and one carcass) Lobster that escaped the Lobster mini-season we had hear last week, both of a decent size. I also spotted a squid hovering about 6 feet away and having a look at us divers while we swam. Thats the first live squid I've seen while diving.
After about 50 or 60 minutes Krista thumbed her dive as she began the dive on a half tank of air. Her and Steve headed back to shore while Marvel, Blondey and I continued our tour. I spotted a ray, and a sea snake, as well as a multitude of parrot fish, trumpet fish and the other usual reef fish. After another 15 minutes or so Blondey indicated she was at 1,500 psi so we headed for home with Marvel leading the way.
