A few couple years ago a pushy LA paparazzi tried to shove a camera in his daughter's new born baby's
face. Don't quote me but Buzz told him, I don't care if you shoot pics of me but PLEASE get that
camera out of my grandchild's face. The A-hole keep shooting images and seconds later Buzz
may have cold cocked him flat out.;) or he might have just lost his footing. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
Cheers, Don -

Thanks Dan, I haven't seen that footage in some time.

The Documentary BWH was seen by over 25 million by 1992. It was the first film to introduce the sport
of Blue Water Spearfishing to the world. It was very dangerous to shoot as we were diving deep in
white water currents with out cages. When the Producer; Laslo Pal called me at home, he asked if I
could think of a place that had Tuna, clear water and sharks. I had just made a spearfishing trip to
Rangiroa Atoll the previous year. Out side the pass I shot a big Dog Tooth only to watch it get
vaporized in seconds by a pack of 50+ big Grey Reef sharks. When they were done one bumped me hard in the chest as another tore off one of my new Cressi long blades.'' Yeah Laslo, I've got a spot in French Poly, clear purple water, big tuna, beautiful girls and nasty sharks''
to be continued.....;)

PS thanks guys for all the kind words. I'm going through a tough time lately and you guys make me feel like family.. -
Don Paul--I can relate to "tough times"
This forum is THE major single element that enabled me to get through my "tough times"
I was invited here by Tin Man back in the day when I had a SWB.
I didn't mind having a SWB. I didn't care about dieing when I wrote about having a SWB. My friends and brothers here got me through my "tough times". The sense of brotherhood and family here on freedivingspearfishing IS lifesaving to me.
Some may feel that what I just wrote is extreme, but hopefully those same people will never feel so alone and hopeless.This is not meant as a derail
-
you are both mentors to me , thanks for all that you contribute through your experience and continued living....anytime you are feeling down, I would gladly repay the countless lessons learned from you both with a frosty brew and willing ear..Don you'd have to fly to miami to recieve your beer
