Re:Breath hold training
I know that a lot of the books still state that limited hyperventialtion is OK, but they were written by scuba instructors and not freediving instructors. No real freediver would ever recomend hyperventilation as a way to stay down longer.

The real key to longer breath-holds are to do a bunch of them, statics, in a row to get yourself into 'dive mode'. Slow 'yoga' breaths are the way to go.

When it comes to freediving after a scuba dive I would limit my depth to less than 10', 5' is more like it, and make sure that your properly hydrated. I also wouldn't do it after any kind of technical dive. Snorkeling on the surface would ok.
