I don't live near any oceans, but my buddy and I found out about freediving not too long ago and started training by ourselves. We always thought it was an unpopular sport because we didn't know anybody else around here that did it. Last week I took a trip to the Carribean and saw two spearos on different occasions and was pleasantly surprised. Is there a survey or something on the total number of freedivers and spearos in the world? I'm guessing it's much more popular in warm areas by the ocean?
