If your tired of the cold and looking for a winter getaway then why not combine that desire with a freediving course to improve your skills. Team Vertical Blue on Long Island in the Bahamas has courses that will improve your comfort, safety, and enjoyment at depth which of course will make you a kickass spearo. Vertical Blue was created by world record holder and Apnea Academy Certified Instructor William Trubridge. Courses are taught in the worlds deepest blue hole, Dean's Blue Hole where numerous world records have been made. Claimed by many to be the best freediving location in the world the location for is ideal. Steps away from a protected picture perfect beach the blue hole plummets to 202 meters (660 feet), meaning there is never a blown out day of diving, no thermocline, and consistently good visibility.  For more information on Vertical Blue and courses coming up visit VerticalBlue.net.

Environmental Awareness

Each and everyone of us has the power to make conscience decisions that have an impact on the environment. Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia is an inspiration for being more aware of our impact and living by example with how he runs his business. We all can learn from him and see how this mindset can also lead to success in business.

Wanderlust

Wandering through the Bahamas, and exploring some of the beautiful land and waters of the out islands. Over the past ten years that I have been sailing and diving here I've seen a dramatic increase in the amount of plastic and trash in the water and along the beaches. I have also seen a decrease in the amount of large fish amongst the reefs. Please be conscious of your actions and respect our oceans and land of this incredible Earth so that future generations can enjoy them as well.
