Hi everyone. I'm fairly new to diving and spearfishing. I started working on my breath hold for freediving last summer. I went from 30 seconds to two minutes with about a month of practice. This summer I picked it up again and now can hold for 2:18. It doesn't translate well in the ocean though. I can only do about 45 seconds of diving/swimming. I got PADI certified 2 months ago, but I don't plan on doing that much scuba diving. I really want to be doing freedive spearfishing.
I bought my first gun this week, a 100cm Rob Allen, a float line and a float. I'll hopefully be shooting it for the first time tomorrow. I plan on staying inshore mostly in La Jolla and maybe some diving in the Mission Bay Jetty. I'd like to get out to the kelp beds, but I don't have a boat or kayak (it's on the wishlist).
If anyone wants some company and doesn't mind a new guy tagging along, let me know!
