Nice clear waters, and warm to boot, I bet.

Re: So I went freediving this weekend (video/pic)

both the vid and the pic were taken in the island of la tortuga here in Venezuela, the water had bad vis on top but once you passed the 5 meters it would clear up a lot, it was VERY warm though.

Re: So I went freediving this weekend (video/pic)

I wear a 3 mm wetsuit and maximum 2 pounds of lead, I like to keep myself buoyant in order to make ascent easier, lead for me is not a problem because when I reach 25 meters I am already negative with that weight configuration

My dad Spearfishes and got some prey after I did my dives, he got a couple of large snappers and a couple of regular sized Picuas (Barracudas), I don't spear a lot but la tortuga is Cuda heaven, north of horseshoe cay there are some 5 meter shallows in which I went with my dad and descended FRC, as soon as I hit the bottom 3 cudas came checking me out... they're that curious
