Free

I wrote this short article on freediving and the ban affecting it for the sports page of Al Akhbar.

I wish I could read Arabic. As I am a lifelong freediver, I can't imagine why it would be banned. I can understand bag limits, but not an outright ban.

No way! I'm a freediver too but haven't been in the water for many months now: too busy. I'll post some photos of catches someday...

Hey Rami,
I mostly dive off the northern California coast. I like to spear fish and pick Abalone...and bark at the seals.
Most of my trips are day trips on my motorcycle. I just pack my gear on my bike and run over to the coast. Oh man, I need to get in the water again.
I look forward to the photos.
My cheapy underwater camera floated away, so I need to get a new one.

I mostly dive off the Beirut coast, although i sometimes go North towards Tripoli. We mostly spear (or try to) groupers and king mackerels and some Mediterranean white fish called sargoss and similar species. We have a small boat and we go in small groups. Great stuff. I will post some photos in the next couple of days.
