Hello!

[dcfreediver]

Hello (again)!
I guess a re-introduction is in order, since ive been off the boards for so long. I quit posting because I was landlocked in Atlanta GA, and had pretty much given up on the idea of my becoming an accomplished freediver, but thats all changed very recently. I am 15 years old, and my family has moved to Dublin Ireland about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I am very close to the ocean, and to my amazement I havent found it as polluted then I thought it would be. I go swimming almost every day and I see great fish, I saw an absolutely huge pollack a few days ago! Just saying hi to the boards again!
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi again Daniel welcome back
I am but 60 miles from you but by ferry not car. The Irish sea can give some better than expected diving, I love it when its clear but that isnt every day, plankton can muck it up some but the good days can make up for it Pollockby the way make brilliant fish cakes

Cool! You are in whales or britain then? This is such a thrill because I NEVER saw fish at home, except in aquariums. I only tried freediving in deep pools. My dad has an old speargun that doesnt really work, but if I ever have a mind to I may hook it back up and try and catch something. I heard anglerfish tastes good? I went swimming here once before, saw some gurnard and a big mullet, a bit to planktony though. Great to know someone else in the general are.

I'm glad that you're able to start diving again. These boards are really a life saver when you just can't get in the water - they help keep the dream alive!! Have fun, stay safe and post your stories......
