Alcohol and diving don't mix well

July 27, 2023 10:34AM
Years ago I was in a spearfishing contest off Catalina Island. The meet ended at noon and everyone was BBQing on the beach AND drinking. A friend asked if I wanted to go back out to try and find some big fish. So off we go to this shallow reef about 20 ft down. I just lay there on top of the water watching the kelp sway back and forth back and forth back and forth-then I got sick !

Never again

ferragamo7966July 27, 2023 07:21AM

  When I was about 10, I could go 2 minutes plus.

Ramgator59July 30, 2023 01:35PM
