I am just trying this to see what kind of response I can get on linking up with some florida spearos. My buddy that I used to go with got a new boo, and things just havent been the same since. AKA "Boo-ed up"
or...p whipped. :)(and he's the one with the boat)

Anyways, Im in need of some more spearing friends. So if you have a boat, and dont want to go by yourself, or need one more to fill a spot, I am totally down.

I am located in North Florida, but definitely willing to travel. Holla back. ]]> rickey05 http://forums.deeperblue.com/florida-east-coast/83448-looking-link-up-some-florida-spearos.html http://forums.deeperblue.com/florida-east-coast/83448-looking-link-up-some-florida-spearos.html Sydney Freedivers New Venue http://feeds.deeperblue.com/~r/deeperblue-forums/~3/EOiBzxYk3Mo/83447-sydney-freedivers-new-venue.html Sat, 04 Jul 2009 03:33:45 GMT Sydney Freedivers was moved out of their usual pool a couple of months ago. The pool management deemed apnea to be an insurance risk. This was a difficulty the our club and other freedivers training in the area didn't need.

However we took it in our stride and in the last few months we have established small training groups in many swimming pools around Sydney. Some months ago Sydney Freedivers had training occuring in 3 swimming pools in Sydney. We now have training in 8 pools.

The club leveled off in numbers as we didn't have a venue that we could introduce new people and do safety training, nor a venue where we could gather as a club and do max or static nights etc.

The expansion of the sport of freediving in Australia is part of our club purpose so we could not accept this new development. With some good work from Ant Judge we established a new venue for the club. The club now trains at the NSW Sports and Recreation, Academy of Sports one night a week.

We visited the centre to check out the pool and facilities. The staff were impressed with our safety protocols and with the fact that we were a fully insured non-profit sporting club we were given the go ahead.

This gives us the venue to introduce new people and cater for our big swim nights and static nights. The pool is not a public pool so we do not have to share with swimmers nor worry about them copying our activities.

There are a couple of pictures on the front page of our website: Sydney Freedivers

Phew... once again the club is growing. We had 2 new members sign up last week and 3 new people come to the introduction training.

I'm new to the forums here and basicly pretty new to free diving.

I was reading about apnea walking, and I wondered how often should this be performed? Is it too dangerous to perform it every day?

Also, how many times should you repeat daily?

I really appreciate all answers :) ]]> Hakon92 http://forums.deeperblue.com/freediving-training-techniques/83442-question-regarding-apnea-walking.html http://forums.deeperblue.com/freediving-training-techniques/83442-question-regarding-apnea-walking.html Picking your brains! http://feeds.deeperblue.com/~r/deeperblue-forums/~3/Yky6CKUFOd0/83441-picking-your-brains.html Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:17:23 GMT Hello! :confused:Just wondering if some of you people can offer advice on wetsuits.
