Breaking ICE to get to an opening and do a little diving in 32 degree water. And No, we're not with Mtv.

  • How long can you guys hold your breath? Are there any exercises that you can do to increase your lung capacity?

  • @jtschid0910 - My best is 4:15 Mins - But I wasn't at my max. I'd say most people I dive with are anywhere between 1:30 - 5 mins. There are some exercises out there that build a resistance to CO2 and just gets your body used to hold breath. Wisconsin Speargun Hunters has a page on Facebook - with that information and a Table that helps. Check it out.

  • Sweet video! how long were you in the water before you got cold? and how thick is that suit?

  • We were in the water for about and hour and a half. usually our fingers or toes get cold not our bodies. The wetsuits are 5mil OPEN CELL. open cell interior is the key to staying warm.

  • you would need lube to put it on- it's like a rubber on the inside. almost impossible to put on without lube. not a neoprene material. I'm not sure if Henderson makes a OPEN CELL SUIT. OMER, ELIOS, HAMMERHEAD, SPETTON, BEUCHAT, SKIN DIVER are a few that make opencell

  • and yes, the HD version is awesome!

  • Thanks!

  • I'm going to look in to getting one of these open cell suits. That would mean year round spearing for me here in rhode island. Thanks for the info!

  • I have a Henderson 7mm jacket and long johns that I layer with a 3mm hooded vest and 4mm gloves and socks. I don't think any of it is open cell. How can you tell?

  • thanks. I see alawaiman said that, but i had never heard of them, and didnt know what he was talking about. I looked up some of their videos, they are good.

  • It's by Apocaliptica- the song is a Metallica cover called: MASTER OF PUPPETS
