Safety first
This app is for dry-land education and training. Blackout risk is real, especially when people chase numbers.
The goal is controlled composure, not pushing to extremes. Sessions in this MVP stay conservative by design.
Most surfers need a calmer mind, faster recovery, and better decision-making after turbulence, not freediving performance.
