    To the rest:

    If you hold your breath underwater... You are freediving - if even for :30 seconds.

    If you are staying in shallower depths (say 3-8 ft below the surface), adding weight is the most important in this zone, as your lungs are nearly fully inflated (not compressed with depth) and you will float like a cork.

    I'm not peddling neck weights. I'm seeing things in the Mer community that I have knowledge in and want to help it out.

    The 3 biggest areas where I can provide knowledge and help is in weighting, technique and breath-hold.

    Now maybe some ppl want to splash in the shallows and that's great, but for those that want to dip below the surface - believe me that paying attention / focus to these areas will pay massive dividends in your enjoyment and Mer fun.

    I know there are some here that are interested in these areas, based on some searches and posts I've read.

    I also know that someone that isn't using any weighting will try a neck weight and it will become their 2nd most important / cherished piece of gear, next to their tail.

    It's funny - I really expected more open-mindedness and acceptance from this community.

    Yes I sell one brand of monofin... But want to give back to the community in terms of weighting, technique and breathhold.

    I also am very creative and have come up with the "pearl" idea for this community. I'm sure that in a year or two, several will have adopted it.
