Quite impressive! I just stumbled upon your video. I loved swimming underwater in rivers in my youth (first learned to swim on the Applegate river near Jacksonville, OR), but I couldn't really dive because I found it impossible to equalize pressure in my ears and sinus cavities. Started hurting at only eight or nine feet and became unbearable pain by twelve feet of depth. I'll watch more of your content to enjoy the adventure vicariously.
I’ve been fascinated with free diving for a couple years. Read a book on it and tried it myself when I visited Hawaii. I assumed that no one really does it in Seattle. I don’t know anyone in the area who dives. Do you have any suggestions on how I can start? Looks like free diving takes lots of practice but it seems so worth it.
A few of us went for the first time yesterday at Titlow Beach in Tacoma. I was a beginner free diver 25 years ago living in Kona Hawaii and have wanted to try it back here at home ever since. Did you ever start free diving here in the Sound?
@@skiveryfast it’s a great location to see big old long cod, one large grumpy looking cabezon, all the beautiful perch and rockfish! One of my favorite spots. Super cool to see, thank you for sharing! :D

Hard work pays off! Check in at Light House Scuba on Lake City way Seattle and they will help get you in the right direction! (#Welcometothefold! )
Get an open cell wetsuit and just try it! I’m a second season newbie, just choose your spots wisely and on days with good visibility and it’s awesome.

There are plenty of people that free dive near Seattle and in the NW
Is this the pantoon at Edmonds? I love scuba diving there, but freediving is something I'm really inerested in and I'd love to try it!
Yes it's the Lopez pontoon! Freediving is so much fun there :)
