awesome fish and awesome water. last picture is too cool to be real
sounds like u had an allout national geographic experience,, blue whales, tuna, the full monty

Just got my new waterproof Ipod in the mail today, its good to 15 meters. Cant wait to try it out

the best feature is the included Bose noise canceling headphones virtually eliminate pesky engine noise!

Try the search function of the forum also, a lot of these topics about gear (like your next question about a mask) and this fin debate has been thoroughly (and very comprehensively) covered in the past. How to choose fins, masks, a snorkel, a wet-suit, a weightbelt booties gloves and everything else is all highly personal, but as far as the user independent pros and cons of gear you can prob find a 10 page thread on just about anything around here

cool video as always. I love the hoglettes,, nice to see someone let them grow up

I had a strange nurse shark encounter yesterday too...one snuck up behind me and came all the way up to the surface to check me out...instead of the usual opposite of me chasing them haha.

maybe it was your turn <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

I still am skeptical on the jack meat ceviche but only out of ignorance

Lemme know by PM if anyone is diving tomorrow

Today 7-9-2012 from 500pm-745pm
I could see the wind picked up a bit from checking the beach cams at school but couldnt resist shooting out
I put in to some moderate chop and paddled out to the first and realized there was very poor viz, so i paddled and paddled and couldnt see bottom and eventually the that trend broke out on the outside of the second. I didnt plan on going out so far in the dusk but finding viz required as much. So I anchored up and got in to find the viz was very poor even out there (prob 15 feet of very hazy viz). I swam around some reef for a while and saw nada (shy of small hogs, mangrovers, yellowtail and a supriising plethora of large yellow jacks) for about an hour. Didnt want to shoot any of that so kept swimming, not too comfortable at any point considering the viz and it was overcast and dark. So I finally reached some sand and I, if anyone knows me, am a sucker for sand. I see a big sandy opening and so too does my heart open and swell with joy. This particular spot is a spot Ive found very few times and never marked, but it is usually a haven for small hogs and sometimes larger ones as well. Besides being thick with the hoglettes I also just like it a lot. So I dive down see a lot of 12-13 inch hogs, throw sand at them and hope for some bigger boys to come around. Eventually a reasonable player approaches and hes smart but I get him. I gut the hog, throw it in the yak and dive back down. Thats when my uncanny liklihood for attracting odd animal behavior kicked in. I laid flat on the bottom for about a minute, and only small hogs approached so I swam forward a bit lifting my body about 3 feet from the bottom but still horizontal. I felt soemthing press straight up on my chest and thought how could I have hit a coral head im not moving and im on wide open sand. I looked straight down and a sandpaper head about twice the width of my chest fills my view. right after feeling the nurses head against my chest I felt the rest of it push my legs. I kicked a few times and got a little bit of water between us and I could see that with its face ahead of mine its tail continued far beyond my flippers. Anyway, I was relieved to find it was a nurse shark yet its size made me instinctively shutter a bit. Anyways no big deal just a strange encounter, I fairly confident its the same shark I ive seen in that exact location in the past, the last time i was laid out flat looking to my right and then looked left and bam there was that wide head filling my view about 1 foot away. Anyways sorry for the lengthy write up- heres a fish and a nice view

im walking out of class
