Getting better...

Gang:

Today I went to crashboat in Aguadilla and was able to touch the bottom, about 25ft, down in the pillars area an stay down swimming very close to the bottom for a few seconds, maybe no more than 10. For you seasoned freedivers... this is everyday stuff... to me... I felt like Superman.

All thanks for my new GARA 2000HF fins, I used no weights to get down and did a few immersions before my left ear started giving me problems. I suffer from sinusitis and every once in a while I have a hard time equalizing. It's amazing what a decent pair of fins can do for a newbie like me.

Cannot wait for the next weekend to hit the water again when I get a chance.

hasta pronto,
Pablo

I didn't checked the fish there this time around, I was concentrating on staying down as much as possible. I have gone scuba there many times, there are jacks and groupers. From what I've been told the jacks there are a real challenge, they seem to know what a speargun is and never give you an easy chance for a shot.

Visibility wasn't the best, I could see the bottom from the top but it wasn't as clear as other times I've been there. I guess visibility was around 30feet.

Of course I will give you a call Pucho, I need to get the most time on the water I can. Doing it without weights was a plus, never thought the fins could make that much of difference... I though I would need weights to go down... I guess I will need them later to stay down.
