One of my favorite quotes...

Came across this today and thought it was worth sharing...attached some pics that I thought went along with the sentiment.

 

"And if you think diving is not sporting, then I really have no idea what your definition of sporting is.

I can think of nothing more sporting than stalking your quarry in a completely foreign environment.

Persistent threats of sharks, drowning, entanglement, unpredictable swells, rape by seals, etc.

Challenges of freezing temperatures, piss poor visibility, and inhospitable terrain.

Holding your breath while every single survival instinct is telling you to BREATHE DAMMIT!!!

THEN learning to operate in a medium where you have 1% the mobility and/or speed of your target.

Believe me… there are many days where I wish I was sitting topside... all warm and dry… tricking a fish to bite."

Don't give up before trying.  With all that said it is a blast.

Its still on the list, I figure if a fat seal can get around then I can at least pick off a few fish and snails

Get your hand fixed yet?

Get your hand fixed yet?

Not yet.  Reeling a fish just destroys me right now but shooting is not so bad.  Popping scallops is a whole other issue but they are so good I have to try.  Hopefully soon.  Just trying to figure out how to make my arm and wrist watertight after surgery so I don't have to be out of the water to long. 

Wise man this Fuzz character 

It's definitely addicting

well at least you have a benefit of potentially getting laid by a seal.
