Also, just switched to free dive fins for boat dives...it's night and day difference. Obviously it's not always needed, but the power and speed is awesome, especially in moderate current.

I will never dive without freedive fins again

Granted I only dive while spearfishing where the extra thrust is welcomed but it is the only way to go IMO

I may have to give the necklace a shot.

I got to make my first rig dives a few weeks ago. One of the guys down here is a member of the hell divers and I jumped on a boat for the last day of the rodeo.

It's been something I have been wanting to do for a long time, just never had the nerve. But after doing it once, I can't wait to get back stateside. It is unbelievable the amount of life under the rigs. I couldn't appreciate it until I saw it for myself.

I shot a red snapper at 145 and swam it up to about 70 to handle it. The entire trip up, a 30lb AJ was nipping at it. Made it to 70', pulled the line up and had the shaft in my hand and literally had to push the AJ away. It was just the coolest thing ever. I loved it.
