Scuba Divers?
Very many of you scuba dive? Working here in the Philippines, some great places.

I used to scuba dive. But I tried freediving once, after that I haven't gone back. The freedom when you freedive is incredible :)

When I first got certified it was in dry suit in Alaska...just not the life like the Caribean or other tropical areas. Course it was just in Whittier, never got to do the kelp beds.
Freediving looks awesome. Might have to give it a try sometime. I really enjoy the current dives you can find here...talk about covering some major territory. Used to like the idea of going deep, 194' is my deepest, but when the world record holder John Bennet, an acquaintance of mine here (dude did over 1,000' on scuba) died in an accident during recovery work in Korea, decided to stay above 150...unless there is treasure down there. Really like to give rebreather a try sometime and shoot some pics/vids... Any of you ever get over here to the Philippines and want to hit it, let's do it! |
Diving is awesome, last summer we went diving in the atlantic and met some of these fellas
http://home.zonnet.nl/cesarreyes/fot...e/zeebaars.JPG They were up to 1.40 meters in size and they are pretty impressive I can tell you. Specially since they used to feed them and they were pretty used to people. Those suckers came as close as 50 cm's near us :) |
Isn't that a Jewfish?
I saw one of those when I dove outside Key West.... big and ugly :winkwink: |

I've never been certified but I've dove on some old ship wreaks doing recovery stuff. I have some family that is pretty big into treasure hunting so I've done a little bit with that stuff.

Ive been certified since 1994 and have around 350 dives. Mostly Southern California on Catalina.
Spent 2 1/2 years living on the island scuba and free diving. Spearfishing was incredible out there. Biggest fish I shot was a 36 lb yellowtail but I saw some monster Black Sea Bass which must have weighed in around 300 lbs or so. Pretty scary when your 10 feet away from a fish that looks like it can swallow you whole! |
