New NAUI safety stops

[Freedive WI]

Ccuda is right about not "bouncing" back down to grab something off of the bottom, like a deco bottle. Many people have bent themselves after doing just that. They came up from the dive clean, bounced back down, and when they came back up- bent like a pretzel. :-[


This is also very important when it comes to mixing freediving with scuba diving. You can freedive all you want and THEN go scuba diving. If you go scuba diving first and then try to go freediving you can end up bent very quickly. I have heard of this happening many, many times.

Always remember to freedive BEFORE your scuba dives and never after.
