Lol papaa, Nah I didnt drink anything, I even went to bed early lol
Its a bit like heartburn but not quite, its a weird feeling all down my throat and chest =\
I might try some of the stuff my girlfriend takes for flying I think their non drowsy motion sickness tablets.
Today I went out off the shore was ideal conditions and the water was ultra clear. I was paddling around the rocks and there was hardly any swell only a few tiny waves
After about 30 mins I started to feel a bit funny in the back of my throat, like a bit sick feeling. shortly after I started to feel light headed, slight headache and a little bit of a wierd feeling in the stomach.
Was this motion sickness or nausea or something else? Sometimes I have a bad habit of holding my breath and not realising it and I thought that could be it but I kept breathing heaps and not diving too deep for too long.
I was over it and had to come back in 
Hi Marco, I met a couple of guys who were into it but when I went with them they did some screwed up shit- like shooting undersize fish for target practise and letting em go half alive, one shot a luderick and threw it at his mate for fun :crazy:
I only shoot something if I know I am going to take it home and eat it, and I try and dispatch it as quickly as possible so its not cruel and dosn't alert sharks. The whole thing is more about exploring and seeing everything out there and If I bring home dinner its a bonus. And I am having trouble finding people like that :-\ My few best buds are into it but its hard to line up times when one of them is free.
Lunker your ideas are pretty right on, I used to do the same kind of thing for sport. Just visualising whats going to happen, playing it in your head and knowing what's going to happen. They talk about it here: http://www.freediving.biz/education/sportpsychology.html <-- iv been googling :thumbsup2:
Nah in Australia Mate, along the east coast. Our town dosnt have enough people in it otherwise I would probably be able to find a few more diving buddies but no such luck
I'm desperate to get out and improve, some days if the waters good and I can't get in there I get pretty peeved off 
I will try meditating as the doctor recomended it for after the gym and after work etc. Tell me lunker do you practice breathing and try and clear your mind right before you go in?
Thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate all the advice, If I was to go on my own I would only be going out probably 50 metres or so to begin with. Where we are there is loads of rocks and fish close in to the shore
The zip ties I would not have thought to take, A radio or communication is another thing I didnt think of.
Where we are has a lake which gets pretty clear in the winter so I am going to be practising in that for a bit first, I have panicked once on my second go when I got pinned under an oyster rack but I managed to find the snag and pull free luckily. I was pretty calm when I saw my first shark, I just tried to remember all the things to do so I didnt piss it off, I will have to have a think about wether Im calm enough or not!
I saw the pursuit float which looks like a tiny boat with room to store loads of stuff in would that be a good investment?
My best bargain was the HF2 also. I got it for 230 delivered to Australia. Pretty good when our local dive shop is asking 450 for them I also got an omer minilaser knife chucked into the same box for 25 bucks. There are some bargains out there if you google search enough!
And I have seen a Omer Cayman HF carbon advertised but it was only the regular barrel cayman made from carbon fibre and they called it HF for some reason
Just after some thoughts on spearfishing on my own, Iv only been out 20 or so times and a lot of it has been in lake conditions, I have probably been off the shore around the beaches 6 or 7 times and handled it easy enough.
I can't find anyone to go with. Very few people here are into it and the ones who are Don't seem very eager to share the experiance :confused1:
I'm wondering what sort of things I should practice and what equipment I need to load up with, im going to buy a big float and line this week as I read on here that they are pretty important when going alone. I definitly won't be trying to dive deep or push myself out there in case of blackout
Anyone care to share there thoughts or tips?
Hey guys, just introducing myself.
My names Chris and I live in Forster NSW. Australia. I just joined up so I could learn and have read up a bit and get into a few discussions as I don't have many friends who are into the sport yet.
I have only been out about probably 20 times and I was lucky to see my first shark (3 metre nurse) a few weeks ago so yeah, pretty new to the sport.
I am a Web designer by trade, And I was looking for a bit of excitement and a good hobby and spearing is working out perfect so far!
Look forward to talking to ya's :thumbsup2:
