Thanks for looking,
I've been wanting to get into spearfishing for a couple years now and keep finding that despite getting the gear and having a friend who lives in the keys to go with, it hardly ever happens. So I'm hoping to find someone in my area who is willing to go with me, show me the ropes and perhaps end up as a local spearfishing buddy. I live in Plantation so someone in Ft. Lauderdale area would be convienint for both of us. I'm 43, fit, big strong guy - over six foot, work in coporate america, used to be an avid land hunter, spent a decade in the Navy and am easy going.
I'm not against freediving, but I've been diving for decades and am very comfortable in the water and since my breathold is lame, I think scuba is the quickest way to get started. I'm Nitrox certified and comfortable going deep. I've got all my own gear and a 17ft. Twin Vee Bay Cat that is rigged for diving. It's good for about 2-3 multi tank divers or 4 single tank divers if you want to use my boat, so you can bring a friend.
My gun is a Riffe Metal Tech 1S (has wing, floats with shaft out) as I planed on starting with smaller fish at moderate depth(Hogfish is Yuummy!) but plan on getting something bigger like a Rhino RX5 or larger Riffe Mid handle when I'm ready to go after the big guys.
While I'm learning i'm happy to cover gas, ice, drinks whatever. My boat or yours, I'm free weekends, let me know if your intrested.
Thanks,
