Hello to all!
I'm Jay Dee, 22 yo, and have been recently enjoying the wonderful sport of spearfishing. I just started going out about 4 months ago when I got my own polespear and license. I must say that I'm hooked. I'm an avid ocean enthusiast and have always enjoyed fishing with my dad so after a few of my college buddies picked up spearfishing they finally got me into it. I've been blessed to live right in the heart of La Jolla this past year and am attending UCSD where I'll be starting my 5th year next fall (just finished my Econ degree and ENVR studies minor, starting an accting minor!) Considering the proximity of my home it's been incredible to utilize the beauty we've been afforded in this area.
The past 4 years I was a member of UCSD's men's crew team, I love rowing and now train at SD Rowing Club on Mission Bay. If there's any rowers on here, say what's up! If anyone wants to come and learn, DO IT! All are welcome and it's amazing.
I've got the utmost respect for the ocean, the power of it, the animals and life of it and just see myself very fortunate to be capable to enjoy it. Much respect for you all out there too for all your knowledge, respect and success. The spearo community seems to be a very close-knit and an extremely generous and accomodating group, which I think is awesome! I'd love to learn from anybody that's local.. I plan on attending the next SD freedivers meeting. LJ Brewhouse is right by my house!
Enough about me, let's get out in the water! Looking forward to seeing you all out there... oh if anyone's in the finance/accounting realm I'm looking for an internship in that area (thought I'd throw that out there haha) Thanks everyone!
Best,
Jay Dee Morgan
