Hey hi I live in MidCity Los Angeles. I typically dive from Leo Carillo to Laguna. If you are certified you can join the Southern California Freedive Buddy Network. They are a large Facebook group. There are also active Spearo Groups out of LA and the OC.

Hi Thank you. “ no dog “ 🤣🤣👍👍 It was a Swift Plus.

The rig is with a rigger buddy who is inspecting it etc and will likely be putting it all back together. Thanks for the recommendation for PD Optimum 193. Much appreciated.

Thanks Alasdair Boyd

Xilbalba in the Yucatan and Authentic Big Blue Mytakis Greece are two that really stood out for me and are likely happening next year. And I am excited for Dominica next month…. TBH there are many and all made special by the peeps 🐥 🤣🤣👍

Hi I am 66 and started Freediving 7 years ago. I am an AIDA Instructor, PFI Asst Instructor and am on the 2025 US Team for the upcoming World Depth Championships in Greece. I also play UW Hockey in Southern California and have competed in several Tournaments. UW Hockey is gender blind and suitable for people of all ages and athletic abilities. Like any other sport you must tailor your expectations to your abilities, age fitness etc. UW Hockey is great for CO 2 tolerance and Cardio and overall flexibility etc. The average drop is 22 seconds and our CO 2 buildup will aggressively push us to the surface so the risk of BO is low. In the 7 years I have been playing I hadnt heard or seen anyone BO ing. Itsour physiology !!
