Went up to Lake Geneva on Sat the 25th. Went diving with Wreckrunner, Kalinux and Whopperhead. Not a bad day of diving, but horrible day of spearfishing! I saw plenty of big largemouth and smallmouth bass. A ton of juvenile fish too. But nothing in the variety I am allowed to shoot. The water was 58 degrees and the wind was whipping pretty good. I'm guessing the pan fish and such were in more protected areas, but we never got to those areas.

Wreckrunner and I hit some deeper...

I spent an hour in the pool doing the length of the pool no fins and with my monofin. It confused me greatly. I started by playing with my mono. I could not make the full length, which I expected. I had not warmed up really, I just jumped in took a big breath and went for it. 2/3 of the length I got the urge to breath really bad and it came on quick and hard so I came up. Each length of the pool I focused on slowing down. Breathing between lengths, no hyperventilating. At the 15min mark...

Winter is coming on....

Posted October 16th, 2008 at 14:04 by ILDiver

Winter is coming and I am getting lazy. I think it may be my diet. I get home from work and I feel exhausted. I need to push through and go for a run. I only have 2 days per week to get to a pool and one of those evenings I have my scuba instructor course.

I have to find the drive to go and do the running. I have to find the determination to do the static tables. I'm working on getting a few locals to get into freediving so I can have a safety and start pushing myself in the...

An awesome day to dive...

But I didn't. I drove 3.5 hours north to go to a cookout and dive. We all carried out gear down to the pavillion. We started talking and did not stop until it was time to go.

The weather was great, the people were also great. I can't wait to dive with the new faces that have recently appeared in our little midwest group.

The cookout was the end of year competition proze giveaway. Everyone went home with some great stuff. Shirts, magazines, Hawaiian sling stringer,...
