From Orange Beach AL

  • Hi all. I live in Orange Beach AL. I have done most of my spearfishing on Scuba, but I am very interested in pursuing freediving and spearfishing. I see on here that there are a couple of people who are local to me. I own a 32' sportfish boat so perhaps we can plan some dives in the future.


    I am in the process of remodeling a couple of JBL spearguns, going from closed muzzle design to open muzzle. I have seen some of the wooden guns made by members here. One of my goals is to complete a wooden gun this winter. I see that there are lots of resources here on this site. I may be asking for assistance when I begin my build.


    It is currently deer season here. My son is 21 and away at college. One of the the things we really enjoy together is our deer hunts. Due to this, I will not have much additional free time between now and the end of January. I will probably start diving again in February. I try to swim to stay in shape for diving, but since the local pool hours correspond to my work hours now I am not getting much pool time in. Guess I may have to start swimming in the bay.


    I look forward to meeting the contributors on this site, either electronically or in person.

  • Welcome Dennis,


    I live in South Alabama also. I mostly leave out of Dauphin Island. Like you, my crew is also Deer hunting. My son is addicted to deer hunting and I will be with him till after the season. Maybe we can get a trip up this winter after the season closes. Cant help with the wood guns though, I am an aluminum and carbon Man myself.

  • Welcome Dennis. I'm in MS close to the MS/AL stateline. Feel free to hit me up for any freediving questions (gear, guns and rigging) you might have or if you need some help fueling that big boat of yours!:D
