Second freediving event @ Playa Frans

On Saturday the 21th of May BonPhoto organized its second freediving event.
Many gathered on the beach at Playa Frans,
where people could learn about freediving during a free presentation
that was given by an Apnea Academy instructor.

After all questions were answered most people went into the water
to apply newly acquired knowledge and techniques.
There was free snorkel gear to use for those that did not have their own.

In between dives, people enjoyed the beach of Playa Frans
and snacks from the BBQ that was lit around noon.

On our previous event we experienced that late afternoon, between 4pm and 6pm, is the best time to spot lionfish,
as they tend to come out of their hideouts when there is less light on the reef.
Just after 4.00 we entered the water with a big group of freedivers to go out and find the invasive fish
which where caught and brought to shore by support boat to prepare them for the BBQ.
We were able to remove about 50 lionfish from the reef.

Thanks to all of you that joined for making this day such a success and
hope to see all of you on our next event which will be announced soon.

@MrBryce47 When your lungs (and wetsuit when used) compress caused by the increasing pressure you lose buoyancy causing you to sink faster. If you're refering to the diver @1:15; he has a low volume of fat tissue - higher volume of muscle tissue, so less buoyancy to begin with. The reason he looks 'skinny' is that his lungs compress at depth causing the diaphragm to move upwards.

@ScherzkeCks 100% o2 i stick to 6m, but with 21% 66m is the absolute limit yeah.

[ScherzkeCks]

@Sargethepyromaniac with pure oxygene only 7m with normal air (21% oxygen) you can go that 66m right

[Sargethepyromaniac]

@ScherzkeCks 66m
