Carson,

Go over to the freediving forum www.deeperblue.net and be prepared to ask specific questions on what and how you want to improve. The site is full of very accomplished amteur and professional apneists.

Carson, another option is to take a course. Check out this thread from today;

The course they are discussing is located at:

Another source of information is Terry Maas' book Freedive. Great explanation of the dangers and prevention of shallow water blackout.
Give your thread another couple days of view time. I bet you money some of the HOU freedivers will contact you to go out to train with them in person. Get the most experienced person you can find, and be a sponge with the info. If you get the heebie jeebies about them not being safe, get someone else. Good luck. I"d help, but live in Austin. If you want to train with me at Lake Travis, send me a PM.

In houston this week. If you have a boat that can run way the hell offshore to the Blue water and Tuna's I'll help you out.
Was diving yesterday morning 80ft + picking and choosing our limit of Red Snappers up to 22lbs while 5 Scuba guys came up with 1 sheepshead....
Freediving has its advantages.
Good luck
Cameron

Hey Carson, this offer is a BIG Deal man! :thumps:

My friend Cameron Kirkconnell is one of the best freedive spearfishermen in the world. Check out some of his Spearboard threads. Do whatever you can to go with him man!

All the best, Tony :)

Hey blueh2oboy I would love to get together with you this week.
I don't have a boat but a buddy of mine has a boat.
Thanks Carson

All the best, Tony :)Echo, Tony. I was on a rig when Cameron showed up, I did not know who it was but you should have SEEN it...I was at 65' looking down at him. If I'd known, I'd have skipped my hunt and just hung out at 40' watching the show.

Carson, Roberto is another one of those top dogs in the sport of freedive spearing, so heed what he says. I have PM'd you Cameron's cell phone number. Hope you guys can connect and let us know what happens. :thumps:

[John Galt]

while 5 Scuba guys came up with 1 sheepshead.... THough I gotta say...I was the only one fishing..the others were on a rec dive sightseeing. (I should say: I was the only one sightseeing with a gun in my hand....)

[JLittle44]

Shit Carson, you better use that number. What a generous offer.

Hope you enjoy your time in Houston Cameron. Welcome to Texas.

My buddy Matt Mueller has just moved to Houston here and is a good hunter. He grew n florida and is looking for guys to go out with. Next time I'm in town i'll give you all fair warning and we can put it together/ I'm really excited to get out there and meet everyone and shoot some good fish.
Matt is open to split gas and whatever else and is super keen to go. call him at 813 951 8329

[JLittle44]

Try and shoot for late July/early August. We'll get some folks together. Look forward to meeting Matt. We could use a few more freedivers around here.

Oh and Carson, I wasn't ignoring your request. I only started freediving this year and don't feel qualified to teach you much of anything you can't read in the books. This year so far I've only managed to hunt the upper 40'. Even that has put plenty of fish in the freezer.

[carsonwild]

Thanks Cameron Ill give Matt a call. :thumps:Maybe we can get together next time your down this way.
Hey jlittle44 any help i can get is greatly appreciated. So anything you have learn since you started would be of great help.
I sent you my email so give me yell so we can get together.:toast:

[LutzSpearo]

Yeah, guys, this is Matt. I'm down to dive every weekend, so give me a shout anytime. I even want to go this weekend. I think my hangover from Cam and I's nite out last night should subside by tomorrow. I'll help with fuel and ice, whatever, I just want to get in the water.

[carsonwild]

Hey guys everyone put there 02 in.
All advice is welcome so keep it coming.
