    hahaha this story is hilarious because scott is twice that strong and i can only imagine how far he got and how fast he got there.....scott could easily pull two yaks w spearos in them and he might not notice :)

    why do you cut before braining...


    I was under the impression that braining allowed the circulatory system to still pump the blood out even with the fish brained.....that it was a spinal cord function and was still viable for a few minutes.

  • Dry bag

    i have three dry bags, a small one that i use for my cell phone and will start keeping my license in, a mi size one that is like the one pictured that i rarely use, but when I did use it it held a towel and wallet usually just while i was on the beach sunning and enjoying the view.
    Then i have a huge one that i havent used in a while but i have used for camping trips on the yak..it holds a sleeping bag and a good four days of clothes and some dry perrishible food(crackers and such)


    I have also seen spearos use dry bags as catch bags because they do not leak the blood out into the water and they float once closed.


    i generally think they are not needed as we tend to be wet

  • Non diving project for once

    it is like the terrariums projects i used to do as a kid...i'd start w a tank and add some life rich mud, then some salamanders and then various bug habitats (branches and rocks) eventually a sustaining balance would result and the terrarium would just need to be misted w a little water from time to time.



    great for kids, fun for adults too

    Dan,
    1- glad you are okay
    2- thanks for being humble and alive
    3- thanks for being humble and sharing this info
    4- this really highlights for me the fact that all freediving is mental. i have had all of my PB dives when i was distracted and all my PB statics when there was something to focus on other than the urge to breathe...the fact that you were engaged in a new task and were distracted even at that task really brings this into focus.


    i have a few questions for you.
    were you wearing a dive watch w or w/o a depth guage? did you know how long you had been down?


    would this have been a better worse or same situation if you had ditched your belt? would that have helped you ascend or would it have been another thing to distract you?


    did the carbon fins trick you into not knowing what your body was going through? ie, were you deeper than you thought based on how hard you worked to get there?





    i also agree that this is far from a public forum, but i really do want to reitterate how greatful i am you are sharing this. SWB is our biggest predator as freedivers and we all need to know just how close it may be when we let our guard down
