Either of you interested in freediving Blue Springs, April 23rd? I'm planning a trip, might be several of us. Blue is about 30 miles NE of Orlando, off I-4. Its a very good place to practice moderate depth freediving. Good vis, current to blow you out of the basin, 110 ft is possible.

what kind of exposure protection do you wear in that 72 deg water freediving?

Your 5 mil with a hood should be plenty. I wear a 3/2 surfer suit, hooded vest and assorted boots, gloves etc. Barely sufficient.
