Reporter columnist Erin Magee, right, kicks with long-blade freediving fins during a dive off Grand Cayman.

As a freediver coming from the scuba world, I remember looking around at all the new and different gear, wondering if I really had to use designated freediving gear instead of the scuba equipment I already had. I mean, my gear works great when I’m scuba diving so why not when I’m freediving? Are long blade fins really so much better? Are freediving wetsuits really much different than scuba suits? And a mask is a mask is a mask...right?

Matt Johnston celebrated his 33rd birthday with a party at the Museum of Diving on Tuesday evening, Jan. 12. Attended by local dive business folks, museum staff and friends, and some of Johnston’s friends from home, the festive party marked another milestone in an unusual life.
