Free dive #0021 - Free diving training in El Balito, Tenerife

Date: 2021-05-11

Location: El Balito, Tenerife, Spain

Water temperature: 20°C

Max Depth: -25m

Duration: 180 min.

Visibility: 20m

Comments: 2 free diving sessions with Mehran, a local free diving instructor. I started with some constant weight dives, but then switched to Free Immersion because my left sinus was blocked. Mehran gave me some very good tips. It was a pleasure diving in great conditions: warm water, great visibility.
