Pics... Freediving Florida Springs

flamencoguru — Sun, 12 May 2013 12:22:00 GMT

Hey guys,

Here are some images I took while I was freediving Ginnie Spring and Ichetucknee Blue Hole Spring in North Florida. I was there with my brother. If you haven't had a change to experience the Florida Springs, I highly recommend it to anyone! These places are also very family-friendly. I've brought my son and wife a few times.

All images where shot with a Nikon D7000, Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye lens, Nauticam NA-7000V housing with a Zen 100mm glass port.

Gatorade Energy Chews

Aloha Guys,

Rather than drag a water bottle on my float, was wondering if those "Gatorade Energy Chews" would be beneficial for hydration during those long dive sessions?

However, I'm concerned that the sugar content would cause the heart rate to go up... effecting bottom time?

Thanks!

Anyone know a good cheap freedive computer?

Looking to spend up to 150$ maybe a little more.

Freediver course May 24th??

jstiver09 — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:14:57 GMT

Does anyone know of any L-1 Freediver course in Florida the weekend of May 24? My brother and I want to take a course and that weekend is about the only one that works. He is new to freediving (over 30 ft..but he has many hours diving lobster in 20-25 feet), I have been freediving for a couple years, and I am comfortable diving up to 75ft. I was going to sign up for an intermediate course and bypass the L-1, but I do not think he is there yet, and would like to do the class together. Do you think taking the L-1 with him is a good idea? Will I get enough out of it being that I am comfortable diving deeper than the max class depth? I am not talking about the safety aspect (which I know is the most important part) because I will get that in both the beginner and intermediate classes.

Clearing ears out of water

Fillet&Release — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 00:40:09 GMT

Is it bad to clear your ears thoughout the day? I have to tilt my head to clear my right ear. So im trying to train it to pop with alittle more ease. Can this cause problems?
