Diving
Samsoe
Been back at work for two days, and i already hate it =/ I was just getting used to my holiday :)
My girlfriend and me went to Samsoe from 28th july to 4th august. We had a nice holiday, not the best weather in the world. You could be sarcastic and call it a typical danish summer i guess :(
We had a few visitors, and were actually quite social on our vacation :) My girlfriends parents visited for a day, and we saw the northern part of the island. And then after that we had a few days to ourselves :)
Wednesday evening a pair of our friends+ daughter came to visit us. The girls, all three of them, could be social, and Jesper and I went for some underwater spear-gun hunting. We did not have the luckiest dives on the planet, and the weather was pretty much against us, but we had a nice time diving and talking etc.
Here below are some random pictures from the trip, eventually i will upload them all to the gallery :)
Third outdoor freedive!
After going on the first outdoor free dive, almost two weeks ago, i went on another free dive with a buddy just last week.
However, last night i was on my first Underwater Hunt with a good friend. We drove to sea, and took a 2 hour swim where we hunted for fish, and i made my first kill with a spear gun :) After that we took a 3 hour break, grabbed a pizza, to restock on energy, before we took a night dive. On the night dive we shoot several fish and it was a thrilling experience, guaranteed not to be the last :D
First outdoor freedive!
Tonight, despite the rain, and the almost guaranteed crappy visibility, i convinced my girlfriend to go with me to the bay in Aarhus, to test my gear. I have had it lying in a bag for almost 4 weeks, and couldent wait longer. The water was, according to local weather reports, 16-18 degrees Celsius. It wasn’t that bad, visibility was around 1 meter tops. Dident matter though, i had fun :D
It rained as we drove there, on our bikes, and it was dry while i was diving, then it started to rain again as we started to drive back home :)
Heres a few pictures for your pleasure :D
Diving ..
My diving equipment collection is as good as complete :) Equipment for free-diving that is anyways.
Like i wrote earlier , I’m going to Egypt in September to dive with some friends for a week in the Red Sea, near Mashra Alam, we will be staying at Mashra Shagra. So i felt it was time to get my own divers gear. I bought the gear i did because i wanted to have partial gear for SCUBA diving, and at the same time have all the gear needed for free-diving in danish waters during the danish summer.
I’m basically just waiting for a good friend of mine to finish his exams, and then presume we shall start doing some free diving with spear guns :D I almost cannot wait, but i told my self, that the first few times I’m gonna dive with a buddy, although it could easily be done alone. For starters i presume ill be spending quite some time learning to hold my breath. I need that to obtain some descent bottom times, so that i can actually shoot something :D
As for the SCUBA diving, I’m considering to join up with Quatre Force diving in Aarhus, they have dive evenings every Wednesday. So that you can keep up the routines. I’m pretty sure ill have a bunch of those dives in my logbook soon =) I’m gonna chill till i get the Advanced OWD certificate first though. I’m working overtime on work as much as i can, just for the cash, which are always welcome =)
