Hi divers, Is anyone near Savannah? I've been scuba diving since 2001, and when I first started I went out snorkeling with the abalone divers in Northern California. We did an old fashioned version of freediving: in those days divers were still hyperventilating to breathe up. Your buddy disappears as he descends and maybe comes up somewhere off behind some floating kelp. I wasn't much good at it, but now that there is so much more information, and I live near Florida, I'd like to start over, get better, and be safer! Most of all I'd like to find buddies!
