  • Salutations from Sunny South Florida!

    Okay Dan, I appreciate that although I'm not into the competitive part of freediving at all.


    I do also understand the difference between freedive spearfishing and freediver spearfishing though I didn't realize how much of a HOT button faux pas it was to use incorrectly.


    Also, I do know of the Deeper Blue forum and I'll register there too and see what happens though I'm not counting out Speardiver.com just yet.


    Thanks. :thumbup:


    I hope that reference to my navigational skills was a joke. My compass navigation is impeccable. ;)

    Interesting...


    This is turning into way more than I wanted it to and I'm not sure about continuing on this forum if I'm going to criticized and accused of something I didn't say or imply. If this was misconstrued, I apologize. Also, I don't know what these forums are at all. To be clear, I'm not from them and I've never heard of them. I can tell you I'm more into YouTube Vloggers and Snapchat than anything.


    I was recommended starting posting here to find a buddy I could connect with for diving SUCH AS freediving as a lot of spearos freedive too! This local freedive store with definitely be hearing from me. Furthermore, I thought this was supposed to be a Freediving/Spearfishing forum? That's what the website itself states as seen below:



    Thank you sdeisen. I don't have any moral or ethical issues in killing fish or other marine life. I just don't do it myself except for the occasional lionfish whenever I see them which is rare. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE eating all kinds of fish but the slightest inclination that you might be fighting off a shark for your catch disturbs me a little. On the other hand, I have no problem diving with them! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">


    I didn't come on here to argue or fight or troll. The internet has plenty of that already. :(


    I just want to find a nice guy I can dive with...period.

    I agree with dude george. We need to live in harmony and respect everyone's opinion and view. Btw, here's what sidemount looks like if you were interested. Cool eh? 8)



    I was directed to find a buddy using this forum by a local freedive store.


    I will say however, that I may one day choose to try spearfishing.
    And Dan, technically, if I'm killing lionfish, I'm spearfishing, right so that would make me a speardiver occasionally right?? :notworthy3:


    Anyways, thanks for the warm welcome guys! :thumbup:

    Hi, I'm Rob!


    I've never had the opportunity to use any freedive gear but I'm ready to get some and start diving locally with buddies whenever and wherever I can. Also, I'm an avid scuba diver with AWO/Nitrox certification, working on Rescue. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to pursue it further due to not having a car at the moment. I was going to rent but then I found Uber was more affordable and much better than the bus. I'm currently without Wi-Fi till I work it out with the best company in the world...Comcast! <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">


    ...at least, I still have my data plan.


    I'm looking for a buddy who is safe but doesn't mind a little adventure and murk. I like to explore the bottom of lakes and the unknown. I'm definitely a supporter of sidemount and will definitely be training for it in the future. :diver1:


    The idea of killing marine life except for spearing those pesky lionfish is unappealing to me and I'd highly prefer not swimming with a spero when I'm freediving. I'm not into the whole competition deep diving side of it either though I welcome any knowledge from the community spearo or otherwise. :thumbup:


    Happy Diving!
