New from Sylmar near Los Angeles

[Nick Bylsma]

Hi everyone! I am new to freediving and looking for diving buddies. With the exception of Catalina trips I will probably be diving out of Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Malibu, and Santa Barbara. Other local dive spots welcome. I have a Hobie Island kayak as well which I outfitted with a small diving platform. It is very handy for travel to a breakwall or ship - wreck.

Let me know if you would like to meet up. I am most available on Sundays but my work also allows for some flexibility.

Welcome! Have you found anyone to dive with? We do have a good number of people in L.A. If you haven't found a buddy, post in the USA/Canada subforum. Also use the search bar in the upper right of the page and type in Los Angeles, then reply to existing threads.

Hi Nick,
I'm down in San Clemente, probably too far to get together for a dive. Are you interested in line diving or freedive spearfishing?

Hi Bill,

I am interested but it is a little far to regularly head out there. If I plan a trip out there I will let you know. I will be heading out to Catalina for the Blue water part of my free diving course later this month.

Nick,

I didn't expect that you would want to come down to San Clemente, but I was asking if you were interested in pure freediving or spearfishing so that others reading this would know whether to respond. Many people are interested in one but not the other. For instance, I spearfish but am not interested in swimming up and down lines. Even if I lived near you, I wouldn't want to get together for pure freediving. But if I lived near you and you were interested in spearfishing, then we might get together,.

Nick, I forgot to mention, but there is a regular L.A. meetup for freedivers. Could be of interest.
