My son and I did our check dives for certification with Slate about 7 years ago. Was a pretty decent operation. The creature feature dive was cool. I would recommend Sailfish Scuba. Great folks, very...
So I recently bought a JBL northwest and the bands need changing... Since I am new to this I dont really know what kind of bands to buy and what size diameter and whatnot

I'm just getting started with a pole spear and I was hoping someone could help me with some questions. I live in SW Miami. Besides the keys and key Biscayne are there any accessible spots without a...

This is the first year in about 10 years that I am going to be on my own for mini lobster season (all the cousins can't make it), but diving solo is not as productive as with a buddy or two....

Sounds like the familiar speech of someone that is full of shite. 1000s of antenna? please. Go back to your school of liberalism and ask the instructors why they have planted such a bad message in...

Snorkeling and free diving the Jacks the other day off of Dania Beach. Seen some nice snapper out a little further and a ton of reef fish. All kinds of colors... Even a shark.. Check out the video.......
Last post
You should try spearfishing the 3rd reef,its a bit of a swim but well worth it.You can catch nice groupers,snappers,hogfish all from a beachdive from the 3rd reef.
this happened a little while ago in the last week of this season, was down in Marathon to spend a 3 day weekend with my aunt and little cousins. We spent it fishing the bridges and behind our private...
Hey Tommy can we possibly open a new section just for lobstering?? lobstering tips, gear, reports, cleaning/cooking tips etc... I think it'd be a great idea, lets get this going :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Last post
Let me know if your still around for the weekend thatās coming up! I got caught up at work and just saw this message, and yes I did but have sold my guns,
does anyone know of any local reefs either in jon loyd dania or hollywood. I went to that artificial reef just north of the pier and there was nothing there any suggestions thanks

I went to the jax a few years back, in May. Speared five fish in total, one was a really nice snapper of some kind, a few porgies, and one really nice Hog. Problem was, a shark came and took all my...
I've never speared a fish before. See plenty of stingrays to spear in the late summer early fall, but am too busy trying not to step on them. Cool pics and video. :toast:
really want to begin spearing............... but im a real novice and rules seem to confuse me.
1. must fish 100 yards from beach....is that far to swim out? what persuasions should i take?
2....

NEVER attach a float to you or your gear with a hard connection, like tying the float directly to the cylinder or a D-ring on your BC or weight belt. You never know what may come along and snag...
Did a bech dive 2 days ago, just to get some shark bait and saw this Enormous ray swimming by and i barely spotted this guy underneath him. i knew it was going to be close length wise, but im just...
Well I'm starting to think I am a cursed man, and a bad luck charm when it comes to spearfishing down here in South Florida. Went out today to freedive with another member (hooked up time, place)...

And people wonder why I wont swim in the ocean.... :shock: :shock: :shock:
I have been working out my cardio for about two weeks now, put the cigs and everything down. I'm ready to get back in the ocean and see if my skills are somewhat close to what they were before. I have...
What fins would be the best to buy for freedive spearfishing? I've been looking at some Cressi, Mares, and Riffe models, but I'm not sure which ones I should get. I'm willing to spend some money on...
Last post
How far down do you freedive? and how long have you had them (as far as durability goes)?
I have been looking around for a good scuba mask. I don't have any experience in the topic that is why Im asking the you guys. Now the mask will be used for regular snorkeling and maybe some...

Can you spear in Llyod even though its a state park. went free diving and saw 3 nice muttons thanks.
Last post
PS: A buoy line doesn't necessarily mean the perimeter of the state parks jurisdiction (400ft out from mean High Water yadda yadda), it may very well be nothing more than a designated safe area for...
Me and my friends are interested in getting into spearfishing. looks like a fun sport that can have some great rewards. Is there an age requirement and what do you need? Price ranges of guns for...

Florida Freedivers is a great shop. They are the most knowledgeable shop I have found in S Florida. Good luck!
Yeah not cool to kill that big of a tiger, they are old old fish and should be left alone, especially when all u need to do is climb out the water or give him your fish, they will leave after... They...

Not the finger trick, but I scratch the sand and the same thing happens. The sand scratch also seems to bring out lobster when they are deep in a rock.
