Dynamic Apnea Safety Rules
Posted By Aharon & MT Solomons on 7 August 2006
TABLE A - with Equipment
This exercise is applicable to dynamic apnea with or without fins. For monofinners who are using dynamic as a training exercise for Fixed Weights, try doing this table with arms extended in front using the same undulations you would use for monofinning.
Establish your maximum dynamic apnea distance and set Table A to about 50-60% of this. The number of lengths is constant and the interval systematically decreases as with our Static Table A. Here obviously if the maximum distance is 50m and you had a 25m pool you might set your repetitive distance for this on 1 length(i.e. 25m) and follow the following Table.

Objective 1: To increase the number of dives using the minimum rest time (0:50) so that you would do the Table up to number 6 at 1:10 rest and then the next two with only 0:50 seconds in-between. When this becomes easy you would do the Table up to Step 5 @ 1:20 and the last three with only 0:50 in between. Finally up to Step 4 @ 1:30 and then ALL the rest with only 0:50 in between. Then move to Obj.2. The time scale for this is entirely at the discrepancy of the diver and might be changed over a period of a few weeks. He might also relate the rest period to a given number of breaths rather than a time.
