Dan that is one of the best vids ever to discuss fin stroke....thank you

what size are those pockets? I would like o test them just to see what it is like..i assume they are small if they fit Hau's dainty feet

very cool and informative

Gonna keep my eyes open for it. Looks great

Way to go Steven. Nicely done w the cooking too

Hahaha. That woman is über buoyant haha

Way to go!!! To hundreds more over a lifetime

my bad, I misunderstood that there was also a raffle.

i liked the juxtaposition of the pelican and the rays but i felt is was underdeveloped...do the pelis also feed off the same shoal? do they somehow help each other or was it just a cool transitional device to use an overhead shot?

Can you borrow blades from friends and do some FP and blade combos and test them? I would try a few and get someone to film you also so you have some decent data. Then you can see if your diving is something that is a product of the gear or if you are just not using optimum form when you aren't paying attention.

My fins are a tad too stiff because I am like John and want that stopping power and immediate thrust as opposed to waiting for the snap back. I am confident that at the end of every diving day I am kickin the way you describe. But it is because I am physically and mentally tired and I am not paying attention to form and, as Dan said very well, my body is trying to be efficient cos it's tired and lazy
I feel like I would still do it then, even with softer fins just out of laziness and fatigue

Stunning Don. I also really love the quote, no deception just intent. Awesome my friend

That is awesome

Guys you dont realize the service Harold has done for us. This theadis the ultimate get out of trouble card.

"Sweetie you can't think I spend too much, I mean, c'mon, look at this guy "

Hahahah. I love this thread.

Nice quiver above.

Do you have to be present to win? Can I have Don buy some raffle Tix and claim for me? Assuming he would be willing to, or some other friendly Neptune

Good call Steven.well said.

I'll add, as a lawyer, that a lot of professionals are that because they weren't ready to work after college and wanted more school. Or just didn't know what they wanted to do

Agreed. Awesome. Cool spot. Stud fish

or perhaps it isnt designed to do anything..which is a problem too..if the only goal, as you alluded to in your first comment, is to make the university money, hen no one is concerned about the use of such knowledge and it is, arguably, worthless.

i love to learn and I value all knowledge..I am an innately curious person and I have a phenomial memory....that said...I hated sitting through boring lectures about courses i was forced to take for some stupid pre-requisite

Quote from Dan

When I see that video I'm reminded of time I spent in the university. For such subject matter it's so much easier to just read the information in a book, and nowadays online. What a waste of time those lectures are, I don't see the point other than the school making money. Having to share a class with such nut-jobs is too much.

Dan you have hit on something I have said for years...earlier education should filter out the ways each child learns best and then they are taught that was there after..there are those who do best by hearing, those who do best reading, those who learn by watching, those who learn by doing, hose who excel with a lot of instruction before hand and those who like to mess up and then be taught after...

for me I do well whe nI hear and when I do, reading is my lowest form of learning. I hated to read the lecture material before hand in college but could absorb it much faster after hearing the lecture.

the whole notion that any group of people of significant size can all be taught the same way is pure BS.

most need a blend of teaching styles, but the University system fails in many ways at that

that is a trip Hank..i have always remembered a friend of mine saying,"you have much bigger fish in much scarier conditions and you know you are depending on a piece of equipment to get you to the surface. It is not for the faint of heart."

he was talking about spearing on scuba around rigs in LA and he is a good freediver too. I imagine that the one you are more familiar with has to be a lot easier

that is just nutso...and what a bad conclusion too, technically, in the US, the african America population has cconsiderably superior genetics than their caucasion counter parts.

i have a nice watch that is my daily wear...it is a Tag heuer and when I dont want to wear my prowler i always have that on...I really like to know the time of day and be able to do a quick check when surfacing to guage surface interval...

i also wear my watch on my left hand andabout 70% obscured by my glove..i do this for a few reasons...
1 I never want to be distracted and looking at my watch habitually while under
2 it protects the face
3 i can control if it is flashing a lot of light around if i want it too or not.

I think a dive watch that had a small digital readout with max depth and bottom time that would be perfect.

I really cannot imagine any advantage to the pure dive watch other than price

these vids are hilarious, but i do think that there are two camps, at least, of pure freeedivers.

those who are actually doing something sporting and competeing against each other, and mostly themselves, for greater and greater depths...I dont get it, but I do get competition and the "because it's there" mentality

and those who think they are too cooll for school and like that freediving is a hugely elitist activity simply by virtue of the fact that it is hard ( i mean all freediving; any activity pure, spear, photo, romantic:) )and those are the dousches who do the poses and jesus moves underwater .....

if you want to get a cool comparision, look for Blessum's vids of hime w/o fins tricking scuba divers on a wreck at 100'...that is cool freediving for me
