Hi everyone, I just found your site whilst 'working' and it looks great, the topics and discussions are really informative as well. And big respect to all the South African's on here- aangenaame kennis!
I've recently started hunting when a friend of mine introduced me to spearfishing. I went out and spent my first paycheck on as much kit as I could and borrowed a gun from Aiden. We've operating mainly in the Northern Coast of Kwa-Zulu-Natal around many of the neglected beaches ( Westbrook, Ballito, Casuarina etc ) in the hope of discovering a great spot that is not swamped with overseas visitors ( We have had a pretty embarrasing experience with a very pale Norwegian swimming right into the line of fire ).
I was hoping to get some advice on how to increase my bottom time, as I seem to be spending under a minute actually poised. Somehow it always seems as you're dying for another breath, a nice Kingy comes past :head
I understand there are a number of 'toys' one can buy to increase VO2 max and lung capacity- but being a student I cannot afford these and am looking for some 'old school' hard work cures for my weak lungs.
We have been dealing pretty much exclusively in the 'surf zone' deepthinker mentioned - not like out by the duudes, but just behind the rocks- and struggle with the constant wave action (which on North Coast is pretty considerable). I am hoping a greater bottom time will enable me to avoid constantly swimming to maintain position and being to tired to dive.
Thanks so much, and please excuse any poor grammar or spelling! :t
