Free diving with an inflatable raft??
I am a beginner scuba diver and free diver and would like some advice from a more expericed diver about diving with and iflatable raft. Would a raft from publix be good? or would it be good to get a raft that holds atleast 2 people? where would I be able to purchase a good raft at a resonable price ($60 or less)?

Welcome to Deeper Blue Deepdiver. I can't advise you regarding the raft, but would like to advise you on using this forum. The forum policies forbid cross-posting. And posting the same question in seven different sections of the forum is indeed exactly that. DB members usually use the function "new messages" when checking what's new on the forum, hence seeing a bunch of the same question from the same user immediately triggers the suspicion of a spammer, and it is simply inconveniable.

Please go back to your redundant threads, click the button "Edit" under your message, and then use the delete function for removing all of them, except of this one (you can't delete a thread where others already posted). In this way you avoid upsetting moderators, and other DB residents.

I am excusing for this mentoring. I usually don't do it although newbies often feel the need of cross-posting, but in your case I see the number of identical messages growing, so wanted to stop you before you come into troubles.
 
The buoyancy would make it hard to take down without over weighting yourself. Why don't you dive without it?:blackeye

Trux what does inconveniable mean?

Sorry, that was an unvoluntary frenchism :D I wanted to tell that it causes some hassle because if you have to open seven different threads just to find out that all contain the same question. And if you want to discuss the topic, you then do not know which of them to use, or to follow.
