Hi all!
My husband and I travel around on our 52 foot sailing sloop. We have been at it for about five years now...sailing, diving and exploring. My husband and I are both avid divers. He is a PADI masterdiver and I have the same rating but right now I am in the middle of my PADI Divemaster course. I have been skin diving recreationally for a while now. Just deep enough to get a cloer look at something on the reef! (10-20 feet/3-6 meters) My dive instructor requires that I be able to free dive to 30 feet/10 meters for my certification. I am having trouble getting that deep. The salinity content of the water is higher here (Margarita Venezuela) plus, it's a few degrees colder than most of the Caribbean. I'm positive I will be able to get to that depth, which is small fries compared to 90 percent of the people on here...but hey...you gotta start somewhere right? With all the great tips and advice on here, plus, with a little more practice, I should do okay. All of this has sparked a greater intrest in free-diving for me! I want to learn more and get better and deeper! Nice to meet everyone! Happy diving!
