Hi everyone, just a quick introduction to myself and my interests. I've recently started researching free-diving and from that gained an interest in spearfishing as a means of feeding myself so I wont have to spend as much money on groceries in the future, a step towards being truly self-sufficient. I'm 20 years old and live in Tasmania, Australia, apart from having a new interest in free-diving and spearfishing I also enjoy surfing, jumping from heights into water, snorkeling, video games, anime and kickboxing. I've come on here in pursuit of knowledge and to interact with people that share common interests and I assume most people here will share at least one of my two newest interests. Making some new friends would be lovely so feel free to have a chat with me whenever and any knowledge you can pass down to me on the topics of free-diving or spearfishing would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much :)
 
Welcome to Deeperblue! I would suggest using the search functions, as many questions and subjects have been discussed on the forums over the years. If you are looking for local divers, buddies, and information, you may want to visit your regional subforum, linked here: http://forums.deeperblue.com/forums/australia-new-zealand-the-pacific-islands.97/

Feel free to browse and explore the forums. There is a wealth of information and experience here.

By the way, which video games do you prefer? I'm more of a computer gamer myself, mostly MMO's.
 
Just got the new xbox one and COD: Ghosts so that's pretty much all lately, my roommate and I share a console so when he's playing I usually play around on my laptop on Skyrim, but if I were to give a top 10 personal video game list, I'd have to put it down like. Kingdom hearts 1, Kingdom hearts 2, COD: ghosts, COD: black ops 2, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Assassins creed (love them all equally, haven't touched the latest yet), Pokemon x-y, Skyrim, Oblivion and probably Banjo-kazooie on 64. How about you? :)

You should play Dark Souls.
 
I started out with Starcraft and Broodwar, then got absorbed by WoW for a few years. I later bought Starcraft 2, left WoW, played Planetside 2 for a few months, and now I'm back on WoW. The new expansion is good, and the upcoming one looks like it'll be outstanding.
 
I've considered getting into WoW for a while but I have a pretty addictive personality and I think if I did ever get involved in it, I'd be totally consumed, so I've held off, also currently only have an Xbox one, Playstation 2, Nintendo 64, 3DS and laptop, is Dark Souls available on any of them, if so which console would you recommend playing it on? :)
 
Tis true. WoW can really take up a lot of time. I approached it differently when I came back, and they changed some things so you can play casually and still have fun. Haven't played the console games regularly since original Nintendo, but they look awesome.
 
Was stoked, the feeling when I hit him with the spear was amazing, it was a pretty decent sized parrot fish, I'll be heading out pretty much every day for the rest of the week now, also seen a school of salmon which was pretty cool, addicted. Maybe I should have gotten into WoW because surely it couldn't be as addictive as spear fishing :p
 
That's awesome! Did you post a trip report in the regional forum? If not, I hope you do. The stories are always fun to read.

Lol, well, maybe, but I can guarantee spearfishing is a lot better for you. WoW is too much like junk food, and it can be hard to play in moderation.
