TBH although useful there are far more important qualities in a diver than high levels of fitness, such as a full understanding of their equipment, the physiology of a diver and the ability to remain CALM in all environments.

Some of the best divers I have met would not be able to compete in track & field but I would not hesitate to accompany them on any dive.

Safe diving,

snorkling and snorkel diving . not just the part of doing endless lengths on the surface with finns

snorkling and snorkel dive teach the user the feeling of breath holding and the feeling of co2 rising . the feeling of slight panic and how to deal with it .

Im conducting some researh for my own benifit and maybe infuture for others . this is just a starting block for my research .
