Hi All
Had to share this!! I have had many highlites in my freediving, it is very difficult to often select just one moment, such is the beautiful nature of this sport in which we take part. First fish, various 'landmark depths', etc etc all come to mind, but this past weekend will stay in my mind for ever. I have a 7 year old son Taylan, who has swum a bit at school, but never snorkelled or spent any time underwater. On Saturday I invested in his first wetsuit, mask and fins, and took him to our local 5 meter pool to introduce him to snorkelling. By the end of the weekend, he was duckdiving and finning down to about 3 meters, until the buyoncy of his suit popped him back to the surface, and he ended off with 3 'No Limits' dives. He held my weightbelt with one hand, equalised with the other, I let go the belt and he rocketed down to the bottom like a 'sled'!  Hitting the bottom at 5 meters with me in pursuit, he dropped the belt, and cruised back to the surface. One very chuffed Dad!
