I’d been working on the dive boat for a few months. It was my second dive shop job and I was really excited about it.

On the Water
If you picked your day and time correctly over the past weeks you had some great fishing weather. On the other hand if your pick was not so great you were either pounded almost to death or you were blown off of the water.

Practicing using a long spear gun in a pool during a class on spearfishing techniques for freediving.
BENEATH THE SURFACE | By Erin Magee
Learning the ropes of spearfishing while freedivingOne of my earliest childhood memories is of fishing with my grandfather up in Minnesota. We used to go out on the lake in summers, sit in his little boat, drop a line over the side and wait to see what bit. I’d hold the fishing pole, pretend I knew what I was doing and try to look like I was focusing on getting fish, when I was usually just concentrating on trying not to scratch the 30 or so mosquito bites that covered my legs. Mosquitoes in Minnesota during the summer are a whole different breed of vicious.
