Smile Any older freedive spearos in Lower Keys?

I'm 64 yrs old, retired and a freedive spearo. I'm looking for a buddy in the Lower Keys who is mature and available to hunt fish mid-week. All the older divers seem to hunt on scuba. I hate scuba. I used to be a commercial diver and to me strapping on a tank is like going to work. I can dive deep but I don't mind hunting the shallow reefs if that's your comfort level. I'm at MM 27 and have a panga that's great to freedive out of. I've got nothing against young spearos but at my age I can't match their energy level. When I get tired I stop diving; the youngsters want to keep diving. I don't want to sit in the boat and wait for them. I want to go home for a nap.

You'll either get that way or you'll... well, never mind you don't want the alternative. Enjoy getting old.
