new spearo from aberdeen WA

hi my name is killian im 24, I am brand new to spear fishing. I'm a avid rod and reel fisherman both in fresh and saltwater and I am very enthusiastic about learning the sport of spearfishing. I have a buddy in new jersey that actually showed me a couple videos he posted of him underwater fishing and I couldn't get enough of it. I have been glued to the computer screen watching video after video of people spearfishing and it looks just plain fun as hell. I am no newbie of swimming in the ocean as I have surfed since middle school. I am excited to join this board and learning as much as possible about spear fishing. I know I will have lots of questions and I am sure there are many people here that are full of knowledge and experience that can help me answer those questions as well give me great advice on becoming a safe and efficient spear fisherman. I look forward to hopefully being able to meet and fish with some of you and learn from you. thanks
