Hello All

This site was recommended to me by my friend John Hughes.
I've been free diving since I was a kid and was scuba certified in 1973. I've been commercial diving for about 25 years or so.
I didn't get serious about freedive hunting until about 4 years ago....it's nice to be stoked all over again with diving.
I usually only dive from a boat as I'm an amputee. Lost my leg in a motorcyle accident years ago although I tell the kids that a gws took it;)

Welcome Cap't....i really like your avatar. How long did it take to adjust to one fin swimming if you dont mind me asking?

Don't mind you asking at all. It didn't take long at all. I kind of swim on my side and do the dolphin kick if I really have to move.
If I don't roll on to my side I swim in circles:D

I know other amputees that use a prosthetic leg when they swim.......I may have to try that sometime. It's a bitch when you get into heavy current and only have half the horsepower.

thanks mrmike. No big deal really. Just gotta do what you gotta do. Couldn't live w/o being in the water.

My grandfather is an amputee below the knee, stepped on a mine in WW2, so I know a little about what it's like to live with it. There was a time when I was thinking about going into prosthetics, interesting field, I feel I could've brought something to it.

Which fin are you using Ron?

Hey Dan,
Just realized who you were. I have been using the edge but on a recent trip to baja I tried the fin you sent me a couple of years ago.
It is the pursuit c90 carbon fiber.
I have to tell you that fin is sick... The one you sent me you thought it might be a little bit stiff but its perfect. I was so impressed with that fin. I was able to swim all day in stiff current and it really performed.:thumbsup2:
I had not tried that fin until my recent trip....now I wish I had. Thanks for the great product.

Thanks for the welcome Mike, Don, mrmike, papaa, Dan, and John. Nice to see some familiar faces.

I'll call him up Joe. Sounds like a good idea. I know He sick of s.b. and dosent like going on there.
