I would like to introduce myself and also say thank you to everyone on DeeperBlue! The information, pictures, and expertise on this site is awesome!

I've been hooked on the sport ever since I saw a guy shore dive on Fort Lauderdale Beach and bring back a stringer of fish and a couple of lobsters.......as I was making sand castles. So recently I started collecting all the gear and familiarizing myself with it in the water. I am also getting Level-I Freedive certified in a couple weeks here locally to be a bit safer and capable at deeper depths. The more I learn about freediving the more I love it!.

I have a lot of great friends, but not many into spearfishing/freediving unfortunately. So, if anyone here is local to Lauderdale, Miami, or Upper Keys it would be great to meet up and enjoy the water safely!

Thanks all and I hope to share some pictures and experiences in the near future!!

Hey Jason, I'm definitely into non-competition freediving and scuba looking for a buddy to dive with where we can do our own thing for the most part and just dive. [emoji41] [emoji570]

I'm in Lauderdale. I kayak dive every other weekend during the summer. I just finished my FII level 1 class and could use more trained buddies.
Quatin, taking my Fii course on Oct 3-4 and can't wait! I'm looking for some dive buddies as well so i'm sure we can make it happen. Message me and we can talk live on phone to discuss - "SubCurrent" is looking for the same so lets set it up and get in the water!

Hi Jason , we're in Fort Lauderdae also. We're learning to snorkel and dive and loving it. Maybe we can do a meetup sometime!
Sounds great man. I'm taking the level-1 freediving course next weekend to get Fii certified so hopefully I will learn a lot! Was out today spearing with another Fii certified guy putting in some mileage under water and had a blast. Will be in touch.
