Freediving swim through - William Trubridge

[Yeloneck]

Hey William, how can you hold your breath for so long ? How to excersise it ?

[RyNic85]

May have to come visit you for a tiki tour of your backyard Wil.

William, what was this jacket on top of your orca freedive, please? It wasn't heatseeker vest

[VBFreediving]

@IgorGrytsenko It's actually a custom-made Orca jacket with hood that I use for teaching and long days in the water.

[GreesM3]

Nice dive.

[defracted]

Mee too, Eyes of mine! Great lens. but no possibilities to put filter on it. so If you want a better color (no blue), you should get the Gopro flat lens and filters :)

thanks william!

I would get into freediving but Cornwall doesn't have very clear seas. D:

[Crippys1]

@jimbobnooch Cornwall has some really nice spots to freedive. You are right the viz is less than ideal most of the time but I say give it a go you will be surprised.

Living the dream Will I am very jealous.

Lots of dead coral and no fish :(

[williamtrubridge]

@bubblevision this was an area quite close to the beach, where there don't tend to be a lot of fish anyway. Also the island scored a direct hit from Hurricane Irene a few months ago..

[bubblevision]

@williamtrubridge Ah OK. Would love to see you explore some areas with more colorful marine life. Something else... I think you might benefit from using a Magic Filter (or similar) over your lens. It's a red/orange filter that helps balance the colours underwater and reduce that harsh cyan look, especially in the highlights.

Man you have inspired me to freedive. I'm 16 and can hold my breath a little over 2 minutes. I dive in local Florida springs when I get time. Thanks for the inspiration Will. Yours truly.

William, does your gopro camera have a modified lens? i know the gopros suffer from blur underwater with the original lens but this seems very clear.

[williamtrubridge]

@jammin1033 yes, I use the 'Eye of mine' flat lens. I understand GoPro is (finally) putting out their own flat lens soon.

[CedCydy]

@williamtrubridge indeed, it should be available end of Feb

[naseeha]

Serene...
