Hello everyone,
My name is Patrick. I live on Pompano Beach, and as such, I hit the Pompano Ledge south of the pier whenever I can. Macdyver got me hooked on this insanity about 3 months ago. My prior aquatic experience is snorkeling in the keys every summer since...well since before I found out the tooth fairy isn't real.(My personal fav. is shooting thru the coral heads of Sombraro reef at depth on a strong current with no tanks and buzzing the scuba tourists ) I swam competitively in college and did quite a bit of sailing and windsurfing in highschool. I just picked up an OMER Atoll float and am working with a an Omer Bandit mask (not an omer fan boy it just worked out that way) a Bandito twin band...I have no idea what the size is but it's like an economy mode 38 special,it gets the job done ,TUSA scuba fins (looking for real freediving fins but the size 12.5 ground punders reduce the good used market options.) some no name hand me down snorkel and weight belt, gloves, and booties that came with the fins courtsey of pops. Macdyver told me I'm getting too comfortable going down past 30 and hanging out so a freediving cert. course in in my near furure, as is a custom(6'4"@175lbs=forget off the rack) wetsuit to keep up with the winter diving season. Now that I've bored you all to death you can pass judgement on me <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"> yay! See ya out there...
