All seriousness aside too, the reason we do it is because its very fun and exciting. It can be risky but you can minimize those risks and do it safely. I always tell people that once they start shooting their fish, they probably won't bring another rod and reel on the boat again! You don't have to jump of the deep end and push your limits to enjoy yourself. Take it slow, learn the ropes the right way, and be safe. You're going to love it.

When I got to the boat and landed the fish, we realized we didn't have anymore weights on the boat. So there was no way I was gonna dive with th 7mil wetsuit anymore. I dove the rest of the day in my tighty whiteys with a hammer in my BC pocket and the only 1 lb. weight we could find.

One more thing, ever not open your valve all the way? I have been at 100+' and everytime I breathed it was hard to get air, look at your pressure guage and when you breath the guage moves to zero and then back up. Learn to reach your tank valve and turn it on while the tank is on your back. Never know when you will jump off the boat in ripping current and have to pull that trick off because you were in a hurry.

This exact thing happened to me once but luckily I was able to take off my bc and crank that bitch completely open without too much problem...that was a sweet breath of air...
