As a child I loved snorkeling, I would swim for hours looking at all the mysteries of the deep. It was liberating at a time of my life where I was faced with many struggles. I loved looking for lost treasures on the lake floor, or stalking crawdads in Whatcom creek. When I think about all the beautiful ocean shores we will be visiting on our voyage to Central America I become elated, thoughts of tropical fish, coral reefs and hidden treasures flood into my minds eye.I'm exploring the sport of free-diving, using a mask, snorkel, and long fins, to dive deep, 50 plus feet down. There is a large subculture that enjoys swimming in this way, playing with dolphins,
spearfishing or exploring. There are breathing techniques that will help you stay down longer and training techniques that will build up the length of time one can hold their breath. I'm looking forward to learning how to dive this way. I will be bringing a free-diving set up and speargun depending on legality and cost to spearfish. -Jason
