What is the Scubapro Meridian like for freediving? An unfinished product or a raw diamond?
The Scubapro Meridian is an advanced watch-size dive computer that offers a Scuba-, Gauge- as well as an Apnea mode which targets a group of users who want to scuba dive as well as freedive, both potentially to an advanced level, as features like gas changes and a depth rating to 120 metres suggest.
Eric Fattah first wrote the “Frenzel Fattah Equalizing Document” to explain the Frenzel technique and his strategies for equalizing well below residual lung volume (80m+). Since it was made available on the internet, at least ten thousand people have benefited from his guide to Frenzel and mouth-fill equalizing.
In our years of learning and teaching freediving, we have always implicitly applied a principle that has been first described by German Philosopher Immanuel Kant in 1784. We have come to the understanding that Freediving is one of the purest forms of the application of Enlightenment as Kant describes it in his article An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?
In this article, we take a look at alternative ways of thinking about CO₂ tables by questioning the basic assumptions of the above example and exploring the opportunities we can derive from our answers.
If you have been in one of our advanced courses, you will already have trained using our re-thought CO₂ tables. We have added a little more thought to keep you from getting bored. Look at the minimum overall hold time towards the end of the article.
Thanks go to Ben Noble, Sarah Whitcher, Yann Dumas and Walter Johnson for their input and brainstorming.
