the required intro

  • Hello,
    I am a friend of DonPaul and he suggested I join this forum. I am a competitive freediver and spearo. I live in So. Cal . I haven't been diving for too long but I am making progress thru trial and error. I have taken some freediving courses and have had the opportunity thru competitions to dive with the best in the world. I would be happy to offer suggestions to anyone who might have an issue in their diving -- I have and am still working on a lot of things myself! I do pool training and am always looking for training buddies.

  • Hey, welcome! Diving in competitions, are you a local club member? Where in so cal are you located?


    I live in Newport. I just joined OC Spearos. I compete in regular freediving not spearfishing - yet.
    nice to meet you.

  • Welcome O2 deprived :thumbsup2:
    These guy have treated me like a brother, It nice to have a extended family that love's Mother Ocean as much as I do.


    Do you know if Water Works allows fins in the pool ?
    I ended up going to Laguna yesterday for a long gun-less up hill swim to try out some new carbon fins.
    Cheers, Don

    I'd like to start a little training group in the Newport/Costa Mesa area. Let me know if you want to meet up some time and do some fin work. The only problem with the pool is there is nothing on the bottom to look at except old band aids and gum :@ I did find a diamond earring once, though.

    I see beautiful images all the time as sun rays dance on the bottom while I'm holding my breath.
    I don't have a big pool to use anymore:( so yes I would love to have someone else to train with.
    That big golden in my avatar keeps trying to drown me.:D
    Send me a PM I'll give you my mobile.
    Latter... out to hit the bike trail.
    Cheers, Don
