thats brilliant. are there any books or anything like that that teach you how to increase your lung capacity or how to hold your breath longer for free diving?

I think I heard something about Dolphin Scuba

Running a freediving course with Erez Beatez in the near future.  Before you worry about lung capacity or extra breathold learn about samba/SWB. 

http://fishwrecked.com/forum/freedivers-sambas-and-blackouts have a gander here for some good info.
