Hi everyone, I am 18 years old and a complete beginner. I would really appreciate some advice to start my freediving journey safely.

Currently, I can hold my breath for about 1 minute and 30 seconds on dry land. When diving, my time is around 20-40 seconds and I comfortably dive between 5 to 10 meters. Is this a good starting baseline for a beginner?

I already have some basic gear: a pair of medium-length blue plastic fins and a mask, but my mask fogs up constantly.

I have a few specific questions:

1. Do I need to buy anything else right now, and how can I fix my mask from fogging up?

2. How can I safely practice and improve my breath-hold time?

3. I experience ear pain around 5-10 meters. I use the standard method of pinching my nose and blowing. What should I do instead?

4. How do you usually measure your depth accurately?

5. I've heard diving alone is dangerous, but could you explain why exactly it is so risky even in shallower water?

Thanks in advance for your tips and help!

I have been doing torenting recently and soon i will be buying new server with 3.5TB and 25gbps internet. I have been torenting on Nyaa but it doesnt have all anime and it is slow. I am downloading less than i am sharing. Didnt know about this private torents so can you give me any tips. Thanks.

I lost site and cant find it for torrenting and downloading best quality movies. I need an alternative site for torrent if anyone has it. I would like to download LOTR movies but can find better than 50GB, on my site one movie was almost 200GB.
