Diving into a new thing!

[UberSushi]

Hi
How u guys doin?

I decided last night while I was running that I want to do freediving. I love swimming and watersports, and spend most of my time under the water when I do go swimming.

I watched a documentary on the Discovery Channel a week or so ago and was gripped by fascination.

So yep, I am a newbie - and a very excited one at that!

I think joining this forum was a good move.

Welcome to the "Blue World"!
Have fun in freediving, but be safe! Yeah, and be careful with those friendly GWS in the Sea at the shores of SA!

Hey U

Great place to start out, as Alison says, no shortage of top guns in here ! The freediving scene is fairly quiet in SA at the moment ( sport freediving), although the spearfishing is very active, but hopefully new enthusiasm is what is needed to get it boosted ! JHB is the base, the guys have comps in the quarrys, doing constant weight dives down the line, but I think if a good ocean venue could be found, the sport would grow. Try mail 'skindiver' on a private mail, and he will tell you if anything is happening on the comp scene here in SA.

If you ever come thru to Capetown, send me a mail.

Good luck.

Jeff.
