Safety: Jussi, Tero and Anne
Place: Mäkelänrinne (5m pool)
Agenda: Testing diving equipment, e-diving, STA
Weights: No
I have not used HR monitors while diving very often, because the Suunto t6 doesn't work that well under water, but wearing both the belt and the watch under my pool suit seemed to work quite nicely. Even the altitude function worked well and gave some indication on my depth. It is interesting to see that the static apneas on the surface are visible on the altitude graph, and the last static is not, because I moved the watch to the side instead of keeping it next to my chest.
Anyway,
The first four dives were miscellaneous equipment testing. Nothing special except that all the tested stuff worked just fine.
Then there are 7 e-dives with progressively deepening exhales, and the final ones are with max. negative packing. nice to see that the dive reflex kicks in so strongly (lowered pulse) even though I haven't been diving lately so much.
Finally there are 3 static apnea dives. 1 3-min warm-up, 1 4-min warm-up and 1 failed 4-min 'long' static. During the warm-ups the pulse drops quite nicely, but the most interesting thing is that right in the end of the 4-min warm-up, when the uncomfortable area begins at 3:30, the pulse drops very rapidly. Unfortunately I bailed out too soon to see what it would have done next. The final static didn't feel right, and the HR-graph shows it too: much slower HR-drop, which resulted in bailing out after 4:00. These HR-graphs of static dives are completely new to me. Now it is interesting to test
- what happens to my HR after4:00, and
- what caused the high HR in the last attempt (my guess is poor concentration)

Do you plan to taper down the running/spinning stuff before the competition?
Personally I would never consider doing a hard interval workout so close to a comp...But then again, I don't hold the NR in dynamic :)
Nice to see this stuff as I've sort of wondered how you train. Seems you're quite a runner too :) Maintaining 16 km/h for 10 minutes in series like that is not bad. Not bad at all :)
How about a little challenge? Me and Kimmo have been talking about taking part in a marathon in Jyväskylä...;)
Hi Eero
Nice to be able to hear what and how guys that do 150m+ dives thinks.
I myself are just begining to get a understanding on what parts of the dive that are my "comfort-zone" and "push-the-barrier-zone". I feel that I'm not pushing myself hard to do 110+ but I aint totally willing to "let go of the handbreak", so I feel oki with adding just a few meters for each dive.
What I like to know is during your 6y of DYN how was your progress, what "barriers" where harder to over come..?? Or was it just to safelly "let go" and dive to new PB.
If you feel that you dont want to answer on the blog, do mail me, daniel at freedivingteam dot com.
Will be intressting to see you dive at the competition, this weekend.
