The new A&S is more land than water now however, you will still have all of the watercon aspects when you get to predive. So I would absolutely not stop practicing your water work.

Do a couple of upstrokes to keep yourself down and it helps to do it faster. Make sure when you start your ascent you are on the bottom, so you may have to upstroke back to the bottom.

I would practice by just floating in the water with a mask on and pretending to pass the snorkel to your buddy by taking it out of your mouth and putting it back in. Then practice by doing it with your mask off as well.

Currently I have two programs, one for those who can pass the PAST and one for those who need to start out a little slower. If you can pass the PAST, my GET SELECTED program has underwaters and other watercon.

If you need help passing the PAST, choose this program.

If you are a little more advanced and you can pass the PAST, choose this program.

There is water confidence included in all of my workout programs. But if you want a pure breath holding course, you might be able to do a performance free diving course.

There will not be as much watercon, but there will be events that don't require skill in order to test fortitude. The more technical events will be saved for predive which will immediately follow selection.
