thanks I will give it a shot

hey yall I so new at this freediving thing and am still doing pool work. my question is in reference to water in the ears- I would like to know how to prevent this if possible and how to care for this when I do get water in my ears. thanks

I can so see that happening, me putting the rods away after my first speared fish.

Hello to all. My name is Ricky age 28 and I'm currently living abroad in Germany, but home in eastern NC. I am a soldier by occupation and a traditional rod and reel fishing fanatic. Three places I love to be are on the mountain carving in powder, on a boat in blue water, or in the woods/field hunting. To be honest I've never been spearfishing, ever. I've only been snorkeling once to this date (and that occured in a freshwater Alpine lake where I imagine if you thought about spearing a trout the Germans would throw you in jail). Nonetheless that first and only dive, if you can call it one, open my eyes to a whole new world! I was hooked instantly even though the water was 17C/64F with no wetsuit whatsoever; I finned until I was on the brink of hypothermia. I have always been fancinated by aquaculture and marine life. I looked up spearfishing on Youtube and thought man that is my next adventure. So I'm not even a beginner yet but I joined the forum to ask experts questions that I have about the sport. I respect what ya'll do, thanks for having me.
