NSP:312 Depth Progression with Mark Davies from Karma Dives

Depth Progression for Spearfishing: EQ, Technique, Safety & Training with Mark Davies (Karma Dives) On the Noob Spearo Podcast, host Shrek talks with Mark Davies from Karma Dives (Hervey Bay) about safe depth progression for spearfishing and freediving, focusing on why divers plateau and how to move from 10m to 15m, 20m and beyond. They cover equalisation troubleshooting (tongue positions, head-angle training, pulsing/warmups, balloons), refining technique and streamlining, disciplined surface intervals, and the added risk of spearing versus line diving. Mark shares cautionary blackout/samba stories, warning signs of pushing too hard, and practical training ideas like pool sessions, walking apnea, stretching/diaphragm flexibility, hydration, and gear considerations such as low-volume masks and appropriate fins. Mark also outlines his Maldives depth-progression retreat (ending with tiger shark dives) and mentions upcoming spearfishing retreats.
