I have been freediving/spearfishing for over 10 years now. I am a convert from scubadiving and once I started freediving I never looked back. I live in Austin, Texas and primarily dive on the rigs platforms offshore in the Gulf. I think the platforms make perfect structure for freediving, you can dive at any depth your ability allows and shoot fish. I am looking forward to learning from the rest of you guys.
Thanks,
David
Welcome.:thumbsup2: Where do you dive out of?
howdy friend, nice to have a representative from the longhorn state
look forward to hearing some rig stories...i imagine it would be a pretty cool environment to dive
Welcome David, Austin is a great place..... and the home of Steve Ray Vaughn.:thumbsup2:
Cheers, Don Paul
Welcome to the forum. I lived in Corpus for 5 years and did some of the rigs also Port A and Port Isabel jetties.:)
How was it around the jettys ?
Welcome, by the way.
WELCOME TX
Welcome
Thanks for the welcome. We normally dive off the middle Texas coast, Port Aransas and Port O'Connor. I have also done some from Freeport (Upper Coast) and down in South Padre (Lower Coast). As a rule of thumb you can hit bluewater closer in from South Padre. The diving can be great in Texas when you can get to bluewater, usually a alot of fish and wide range of species.
Don Paul, we even have a statue of Steve Ray Vaughn here in town.
