Hey brother,
It's sounding like most are that want to join in. Being a newby can actually be great because you haven't developed unsafe ways that have become the norm, because there is no norm yet
. I think what we are going to try and do is to start something and try to get hooked up with some of the freediving instructors in Florida and see if they might be able to hook us up with some training for cheaper. If you are unfamiliar with freediving training I would check out Performance Freediving International, Freediving Instructors International, and Immersion Freediving to see what exactly I'm talking about. I will keep you up to date with everything and hope to see you at some of the meetings.
