This is from my first really successful dive. Got several Manani and this Aweoweo. Filleted them and fried them... really good.

This is an upclose view of the Tako that Lea posted earlier. We don't really care for it so I gave it to the neighbors who were out grilling. I won't be taking another one again. This one was about two pounds and it took me 10 mins to get under control.

I was laying in a crack on the bottom in about 20-25 ft of water hoping to ambush a school skittish fish as it swam over. I began to run out of air so I grabbed onto both sides of the crack to push myself out when all of a sudden the rock that I put my hand next to changed from light gray / sandy color to black and this I saw an arm come out. So I dropped my gun (the gun sinks is attached to a lifeguard float on the surface) and grabbed it by the head. By the time I got the the surface I needed a few seconds to catch my breath and by this time the Tako was wrapped around my arm past my elbow and shooting ink all over the place. I ripped it off my left arm leaving 8 lines of hickies, so I passed it back and forth between my hands several times to disorientate it and eventually got it under control.

The above two pictures are from this morning. Overall is was a blast me and my dive partners went out on a kayak to a few different spots that people normally don't dive so the fish were really "friendly." This was only my second time taking the gun out and missed several key shots at the better tasting fish so I took a few of theses guys as a consolation prize. Dinner tonight!

I love this poster and just wanted to post it. Click for an upclose view. It read "Some people dream about going down to heaven." And lately that has been very true. Freediving is incredibly calming and relaxing. Still working on my aim and getting my breathing right but i am feeling A LOT more comfortable in the water and one of my dive partners say I am getting a lot better.

This photographer that took the poster above just recently dived in a freediving accident. No one is really sure what happened eventhough he was a skilled diver and diving with three other people but it was all that divers could talk about for two weeks.
