Freediving buddies needed fort lauderdale/miami area.

looking for freediving buddies in fort lauderdale miami area.

I have a kayak, a small boat, and all my gear. I am about average freediver, and took the FII freediver course, my range is to 40ft to this point. A very strong swimmer and safety minded and even keel. skilled with boating.

Please be serious, some people seem to just talk...but never walk, when I plan a day out on the ocean, I follow with it. time is the most important asset we have.

my schedule is flexible, but I'm very open to go out there, pool sessions, ocean sessions... tables/ dynamic training. looking for some guys who love the ocean and want to share and learn with the experiences.

interested in freediving and spearfishing. Just looking for someone who practices safely and watches each others back. I was caught in between guys with no experience and guys who were way ahead of me in spearfishing but have no safety in mind...

pm me so we can get together. or just post in the thread with Pointers, ideas, and plans....

Also, does anybody knows about where to go kayak spearfishing in miami?....

thanks.

I'm in Hollywood close to us1. Craving to learn more about the sport I love for personal growth (and fish. Too!)... Pm me and let's practice, exchange ideas. Boat is ready, kayak or beach dive is cool as well..... Where do you do pool sessions?

Hey Miguel,

I am just up the road in Dania... Just moved back to the area and am looking to get out and do some beach dives. I'm available during the week too... Shoot me a P.M if you're going out and need an extra.

Have fun.

Re: Freediving buddies needed fort lauderdale/miami area.

I live in Miami (North Bay Village) but do all my diving down in Islamorada (Plantation Key)-you are welcome to come along-we have a small place down there with our boat docked ocean side. I'm pretty new at free diving and spearfishing but love it so far. I'm taking a FII class on the 14th and 15th and hope to dive a little deeper and learn more safety procedures.

Re: Freediving buddies needed fort lauderdale/miami area.

Good thread. Nice for meet ups

I am down to dive on the weekends and maybe some pool work if the ocean is beat. I am busy during the week but I love to talk diving and am always down to share what little I have learned

Re: Freediving buddies needed fort lauderdale/miami area.

Count me in for a keys trip!

I don't have a truck or boat but I'd be more than happy to use my car as transportation for a group to go down.

What days of the week do you work? I'm on the north end and I run my boat out every morning I get a chance out of Haulover or Key Biscayne.
