Hi,
We will be having several 3 day freedive seminars in West Palm Beach 
Florida, with Terry Maas....in late spring. Thats 3 days of awesome 
freediving, where you can learn better techniques (longer breath hold/better 
kicking form for higher efficiency/ what equipment is acceptable vs. 
unacceptable/ how to find and stalk fish, etc)...Terry Maas has the world 
record in freedive spearfishing with a tuna over 800 pounds...and can 
freedive our "Hole in the Wall" (135 foot deep monster ledge with big cave  
and monster cobia/big groupers/big sharks) with  the same ease most local 
freedivers can do the 25 foot reefs off of Breakers.

Let me know if you are interested.
