when ever i’m free diving, i’m in my realm. it’s like i instantly slipped into a dream. i’m at total peace, and my mind is as calm as it gets. this is where i can separate myself from other people and totally connect with the sea. you can call me an asshole, you can yell at me, and you can even try to punch me. and i wouldn’t even flinch. nothing bothers me when i’m free diving…
when i get ready for a deep dive, i always position my body like this. i want to be as vertical as possible so i draw an imaginary straight line from top to bottom and that’s how i get there. less distance and less energy equals more bottom time.
then when i’m laying flat on the bottom, i close my eyes for the first 5 seconds and let the fish come close. then when i open my eyes, i look at the variety and choose what i want to eat for dinner. 
i’m very selective when i hunt fish. i can actually picture it on the dinner table before i spear it. and once i get what i need, that’s all i’m taking…
