Re: The freediver's safety vest--IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Congratulations. Great idea. And you're right "It's about time."

If the price is decent, I'm in for sure.

I've been free-diving for about 10 years ...have taken the Perfromance Freedive Clinic and still...just last year had a close call. I was in the LJ Kelp at about 60ft watching these WSB just out of range and started getting the urge to breathe...so I went up, but my progress was complicated by thick kelp.

I started seeing stars just a couple feet before the surface and white splotches. Broke the surface and barely held on to consciousness as my head swam. I know a couple seconds more and I would've been shark food.

Plus, I've got a son...so count me in for one.

And correct me if I'm wrong, it's mostly EXPERIENCED freedivers that dive from SWB...not novices.
