Freediving into the Keystorm (plongée en apnée)

A group of members of the Freediving Club of Montreal (Club d'apnée sportive de Montréal - www.casm.info) diving through the shipwreck of the Keystorm in the St. Lawrence River, near Brockville, Ontario. The shot was taken during a single dive by one of the freedivers (Jonathan Létourneau), and was only slightly edited by me to cut a few "glitches".

Bring a tank, stay longer, see more. Nice work though, very impressive and a great arguement against smoking.

Actually we did bring some tanks, too, for a night dive. But as we are mostly interested in freediving, the thrill is to play around the wreck just holding our breath. To "see more" we had put several buoys at different spots. We enjoyed entering the huge wide open holds. Apnea is fun... minimal equipment, total freedom... But requires proper training and safety rules.

We dove the Keystorm on SCUBA last year with a total bottom time of nearly an hour - couldn't have done that holding my breath but it is definitely a wreck I would like to freedive.

What does training involve, and what are some of the safety rules? You have totally piqued my interest....

The keystorm is from 30' to 115'. The part going in the wheelhouse is about 70'...no way I'm doing this without tanks!!!
