look at that viz,, i could spennd the rest of my life in dahab i bet,, thats don awesome video
i assume uve seen the william trubridge swims through blue gole thing right?

haha yeah and all the beach girlies loved it,, i think he left with like 4 phone numbers

happpy guy.. great to have ya back hau, sorry the viz closed out on us
hau shot his new gun once and that woound up on the other end,, not bad for first day after surgery.

after splitting up with everyone i drove north of port everglades and put in. viz was about the same as dania had been BEFORE the shit wall moved through. went past the second then swam in to the ledge and patch and north

got a nice hog.. saw four 24++ inch hogs and one that i think would of been most peoples personal best. also saw 2 25+ inch groupers in pretty shallow (30feet) water. i was diving well and staying down long(for me) but the fish were smarter. one of the groupers slipped into a hole that i would of never guessed hed fit into. all in all a fun day started at 730 and just got out around 330. lookin forward to some days with viz like it had been the last coupple weeks, im sure there comin.
congrats again hau oon a good healthy day in the water and scott on the RA.

conditions awesome,, seas flat, very goood viz, very little current. but nooooo fish,, didnt set the gun off once. went to the very outtermost side of the second and swam back into the first and south along the ledge, then from first into shore.. usual small hogs and groupers and misc. snappers,, saw one nice spani mack but it was already cruisin away pretty fast.. regardless beautfiul day to be in the water and get some swimming in..

sounds baller...wish I didn't have work.

I think that 8lbs is a lot...I wear 6 w my suit...just be careful is all I'm saying...steve has ZERO fat , so that skews his perspective

haha true true,, and yeah i here you loud and clear about work,, wish u could be there too.. why is it that work and school always seems to think that they are more important than spearfishing?

yeah id start with 8 or 10lbs,, but well see tomorow,, theres gonna be four of us and haus gonna be in top shape, new gun, new surgery, hes gonna be tough to beat

i like it.. and yeah i have a pretty nice tank a lot of local stuff which is cool and whatnot and a light s bright as the sun.. its a good college job. i hope to keep it until i finish transfer to fau and through the whole ordeal

Quote from LunkerBuster

cant beat that, plus you never really kow what you like until you have dove with a gun for long enough to learn about how YOU dive and then you can fit a gun to YOUR dive style

truer words have never been spoken, unless i said them,
well looks like ur set and u got haus old blades which are pretty bad ass,,
i know this is a pretty schwag option but i just take a couple ice packs and some target walgreens whatever bags for fish,,
did you get yourself some more weight?

tomorow and friday,, gotta work sunday:fixin: but normally i get out tuesdays thursdays and sundays,, but i took this sunday's job from another guy from work

oo im jealous,. thats the same yak scott uses,, bet ur eager to try her out
what kind of gun is that?

looks like rob allan carbon barrels, at least the camos very similar

Quote from greekdiver

I think a very common swb occurs when you are diving almost near your max comfortable depth and you shoot a fish or something happens that causes you to be a bit more excited than normal. You realize that you are low on air or you used a bit too much of it. You are feeling really deprived from O2 like you have never felt before. You start to panic and causing you to swim faster to surface. Then you blackout.

I think with more experience and knowing your body you are likely to stay more relaxed instead of letting panic take over. Maybe the SWB in this case would turn into a safe surface or a controllable light samba.

I do think swb can happen to both type of divers. Novice to expert.

well put.. especially if you see ur shot isnt perfect and yu want to swim over to grab the fish to surface as oppsoed to just hauling it up. or when ur stalking a fish and u think another few kicks and i may be close enough as it keeps swimming away.(at least i know these situations have pushed me pretty close before)

ha very good papaa,, yes welcome nice to have another big island native aboard
