    Hey everyone, just started thinking about getting into FreeDiving recently so I have been searching around reading stories and looking for gear and thought I would join this site. I have been into "snorkeling" all my life, mostly diving for crawdad's in freshwater lakes. I recently got scuba certified, but am more interested in freediving go figure.... I have done a bit of Ab diving, and spent 10 days spearfishing in the Sea of Cortez near Loreto, Baja Mexico. I had a ton of fun however never really shot anything very big..my big fish was a 8-10 lb Cabrilla, everything else was dinky (less than 2 lbs.). Anyhow I need to pic up some gear first, a diving suit, (my surf suit wont cut it), a gun, and some fins then I'll be set. Any recommendations on suits at a lower price range?? This is probably a common question and I havent even searched the forum yet.. Well, off to browse through the forum on my lightning speed dial up.

    Welcome troutbum, abalone and ling season isn't too far off.
    As for suits, get a good 7mm 2-piece open cell freedive suit and you won't be cold up in our 48 degree Nor Cal waters. I'm using a 7mm Spetton right now, but I've read good things about the Pursuit wetsuits, and the price is awesome at $240.

    Welcome mate good to have you, yes as Rich said, Pursuit wetsuits have a quality and fit as good as or better then any I have worn.


    Cheers, Don
