Therefore, provided the effort involved in freediving has not been severe, there is

little risk in diving after breathhold diving. However, the converse is more unknown

and may increase significantly the risk of DCI. Therefore, FREEDIVING AFTER

SCUBA DIVING IS NOT RECOMMENDED. You should avoid freediving and

not exceed five meters [16 ft] for at least two hours after scuba diving.
Suunto also recommends you to be trained in freediving technique and physiology

before conducting breathhold dives. No dive computer can replace the need for proper

dive training. Insufficient or improper training may cause a diver to commit errors

that may lead to serious injury or death.
