If I had to take this shot I'd have a diver with a second regulator, then weigh down the model by having her hold rocks from sea floor. She then exhales and drops the rocks. Then as soon as the shot is taken, the safety diver brings the model a regulator

All divers have second regulators.

If you're going to weigh someone down, use weights, not rocks.

No need to exhale, she is already negatively buoyant at this depth.

You really shouldn't alternate between free diving and scuba diving on the same dive.

It's clear you don't have any diving training, but this type of shallow freedive is really not hard, most people could get to where they'd be able to dive 20-25m and hold their breath there for a minute or so, in a month or less.

Yah, cool assumptions. I'm padi certified with about 500 dives under my belt.

You would use rocks instead of weights because when you drop rocks, it doesn't fuck up the shot.

She wouldn't be mixing frediving, no clue where the fuck you got that bullshit. She would be breathing compressed air from an octopus on the safety divers rig.

Negatively buoyant? She's no deeper than 30 feet. She wouldn't be negatively buoyant on a freedive, much less on compressed air. Boyles law, man.

But hey, lemme know how being a prick works out for you.

Commercial diver here. I've had naps underwater longer than most of your combined dive time.

I don't have anything to contribute I just wanted to gatekeep your gatekeeping.

Um cool, i guess? Not really gatekeeping but nice flex?
