Hi,

I'm a newcomer to freediving looking for buddies. I've been diving exactly one time (yesterday) and I'm taking the Performance Freediving class next weekend. In my first day of diving I was easily able to hit 10 meters or so and after next weekend I should have a good grasp of basic safety techniques. I don't plan on taking up spearfishing anytime soon but I don't have a problem diving with buddies who are spearfishing. (Especially if you hand over a couple nice fillets).

What I'm looking for are buddies who are interested in doing strict one-up-one-down buddy dives as opposed to same-day-same-ocean where the buddy doesn't provide that much safety factor.

I have kids so my weekends are busy, although I can schedule time- especially early morning, back by noon type dives. For that matter my work schedule is flexible too.

Closest shore dive locations to me are Palos Verdes, then Laguna, then Malibu. Catalina is a definite possibility but it needs to be infrequent at $66 for ferry & parking.

If you're interested pop me an email.

Jim
