Hey from Fl

Hey All,
I am from Southern New Jersey but I live in Delrey Beach Fl now. Pretty new to spearfishing but looking to meet some people here in FL to show me the ropes.

Re: Hey from Fl

I am new to spearfishing and live in S Florida. I am going to a spearfishing seminar that divers direct is holding next Thursday. You have to pre-register. I am going there with a friend who is a complete newbie as well.

Be safe, and try and hook up with a more experienced diver for the first couple times. They will show you places that wont leave you frusterated, and that could save the sport for you. Itll also be safer, and you will learn a ton without even realizing it.

Re: Hey from Fl

Where is south florida? I have been spearfishing for a few months now. Luckily I have a few buddies who are real into it and they showed me the ropes. Unfortunantly they live in NJ. I am looking for some spearfishing buddies to learn together. I know of some spots down here and have had some luck already.

Re: Hey from Fl

That sounds great! I'll see if I can't find out some good information at the seminar as well. My buddy and I don't have a boat, we have some reefs we have swam out to though. I was also thinking about renting a kayak and see how that goes.

Too bad you are in Wisconsin. Have any locals you would suggest?

Re: Hey from Fl

Yeah, get back to me when you are finished. I have a lreal ittle boat so we could go out on calm days to the deeper reefs. Better than swimming 300 yards out.

Re: Hey from Fl

That sounds like a great plan! I have gas money, etc...


Freedive, or Scuba?

I am learning how to free dive and I am Scuba certified.

Re: Hey from Fl

I am trying to work on my freediving and breath holding also. I feel like it is more of a challenge and adventure that way. I am certified in scuba though. How long have you been freediving?

Re: Hey from Fl

Not long at all. I am working on it, and I have not tried to use weights while free diving. I am hoping to pick up safety tips this Thursday.
