Title: Introduction
Post by: cgp71 on September 12, 2009, 14:43:17 CET
Hi all,

I jonied this forum recently after finding this forum by accident and this is my first post.

I practice a lot - pool, dynamic and contant weight but having no buddies, I keep some distance from my limits.

My max depth is 33m and 4:16 static. Current working depth - 26m

Favourite training spots - Cirkewwa and Zurrieq.

With regards to equipment, have 3 sets of bifins (Falcon C4 40, SporaPURE Grafibre and Omer Millenium), 2 monofins, 3 wetsuits, Suunto D3, Suunto D4 & 4 masks.

Every now and then, I get my spearguns wet - to break from the training routine. I have OMER Excalibur 90 (a good all-rounder) and an OMER MB200 (110cm). However I just dive with a speargun and do not have any technique. My biggest fish were a couple of 3kg groupers and  a 1.5kg spnotta.

My biggest experience in apnea so far was an Apnea Academy course in Sardegna with Umberto Pelizzari.

Prosit tal-posts!

Buona apnea a tutti.

Welcome to the forum, perhaps some of the guys in here will get in touch as you mentioned you don't have a buddy.

Welcome to the forum ;)

I was thinking about introducing you to a friend of ours who just practices apnea. He too does not have a partner since most of the people who practice it use it for sport fishing.

If you want his tel no I can provide you with it.
