FL competition is it happening?

Posted March 6th, 2009 at 17:28 by slimsteve
Well It is getting to be crunch time for arrangements and still have not seen any announcements concerning the Labor Day weekend spear contest. I got one email back stating it is happening and that details will be posted soon but nothing yet or I just haven't found where it is posted. I am starting to get nervous as I need to arrange time off and hire a boat unless I can find someone who would like to take a guest out as a partner. Please anyone with info email me here at deeperblue or at hensela1dc@aol....

In the pool....

First, I'm working on a NAUI Instructor course. Part of that course requires a 450 yard swim in under 10 minutes. A guy taking the course with me was not a strong swimmer and was struggling a lot to get through the required swim. He was running out of breath just 2 laps in to the 9 lap adventure. So for the past 3 weekends I've been working with him to improve his swim. Yesterday, after 4 pool sessions with my help and one trip to the pool on his own, he completed the swim. He actually accomplished...

However on the home front things just took a nice turn, it appears I am not the only free dive spearo in Iowa. I am now in contact with someone but they live about 3 hours away about the same distance as the carpslayer whopperhead, why does crossing state lines seem to make a trip longer??

Good news

Posted February 24th, 2009 at 02:30 by slimsteve
Well it has been a good couple of days and hopes are starting off on a high note already. My Collegue on the Alanatic side could not scare up any contacts however my sister hit pay dirt. She has informed me, (trumpets blarring softly in the back ground) has a nephew, husbands side, who actually lives on Key Largo. And if that was not good enough her brother in law owns a boat and loves to fish. I also have a decent plan B falling into place. What is even more exciting is that my dad said he would...

The first competition Hello anyone out there?

Posted February 21st, 2009 at 10:37 by slimsteve
As the saying goes, "its not the destination but the journey" well something like that, anyway with cabin fever in full grip of my senses I decide to plan the next trip. I hope the act of planning, making contacts and checking gear will get me through what is left of the winter.
The goal this spring is to compete in a contest and hope that beginners luck will shine on me.
I started two weeks ago by contacting people I know personally, none of which dive. My father loved...
