Scuba Wetsuits & Surfing Photos

[davislove]

its no wonder the apnea coach is shmoozing her over....the Italian 19 year old @virnaamarongiu

'19 anni, sarda, dopo l'agonismo nel nuoto Virna Marongiu approda alle gare in apnea, e in un anno raggiunge un bellissimo risultato di 159 metri in DYNB. Sarà lei il nuovo giovane talento dell'apnea nazionale al femminile?'

--for those of you who might be wondering why the use of wetsuits on the pool decks? on a lot of my posts other than to scuba train??? know you know why.....its the sport of apnea or breath holding--

note at least one girlwatching photos from the mezzanine....so i just knew this gal had to be posted:


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




































when i first got involved in this topic at a now defunct forum similar to tpowis...i actually began to wonder why the use of wetsuits on pools when they are clearly not getting their scuba diving 'license' or certificate training completion???? thats how i became familiar with the sport of apnea

and if all of this apnea stuff makes you a little hungry FRESH CATCH OF THE DAY might be in order....this gal @carolinagouveiia
Seasoul From Madeira Island Economics | Business management might be one that i might settle for if i cant get the Italian as you can see theres way too much competition for her

----remember too what i always say; women that can put food on the table are very important to me

[davislove]

lets take care of WHATS FOR DINNER/LUNCH 1ST.....the fresh catch of the day; as women who can put fresh healthy food on the table is HUGE in my book....[havent really seen anyone getting FAT eating fish-albeit a few eskimos have a few pounds on them but i heard its more from consuming polar bears/sea lions as opposed to the fish]


































[last gal [loreoceancuba] is local...she defected from Cuba...i remember posting her originally as a freediver representing her country competing internationally; then...nothing for a few months...i think my 2nd ever post of her she was here; shes involved with training teaching freediving and connected to remora_freediving_academy a sales shop ect...

[davislove]

ITS ABOUT LUNCH TIME AS I POST THIS....FRESH CATCH OF THE DAY ON that fish sandwhich that i will have later on in about 45 minutes as i wait around for the countertop oven to do its thing.....reminds me about a year and change ago i was with my sister and dropped in for lunch at a fish place thats pretty famous around the Miami river....i had a (rare) swordfish sandwich....yeah it was a $45+ sandwich ===>>you have to PAY for the fresh catch of the day ....trust me IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST SANDWICHES i've had IN YEARS!!!! ....AND IT WASNT EVEN ON THE MENU; they happen to get a huge 120 lb one-they sell fish as well and i caught an eye of it and the server got me the smallest of the fillets and got it to the kitchen and 'made it happen'















and after lunch....you meet your friend at the beach and he asks you about your KITESURFING GF.....which i answer--->
'HER ASS IS UP IN THE AIR'... IN ONE OF THE VERY FEW TIMES IT HAPPENS TO BE A LITERAL ANSWER:


















swordfish is found in all zones but more abundant in the north atlantic...South Florida has a tremendous variety of more tropical fish species in the waters of the Atlantic and the Gulf...swordfish is caught but very unusual....the server told me that it was sourced by the restaurant but it isnt generally on their menus as its not a 'regular' fish that they offer....AGAIN 'THE FRESH CATCH OF THE DAY' was actually a fish that they procured earlier that week...so my sandwich was very very fresh and good but it wasnt caught the day before

[davislove]

now that we have secured FRESH lunch@dinner....with the 'catch of the day' we can proceed....

I LOVE MY hearty WOMEN WHO DONT MIND WHEN IT GETS A LITTLE 'NIPPY'...TO STILL GO OUT AND HAVE A QUICK SWIM/DIP and enjoy the outdoors no matter that theres a little snow on the ground







and i found a bonus photo of hers IN LEGGINGS; thats a nice surprise--maria bobela Depth Freediving World Champion 35x National Record [poland]
and if you date her she promises to be on time:

photo taken at @deepspotpoland #DEEPSPOT Europe’s deepest diving facility | Poland 45.4 m of underwater adventure....ON WHAT PROMISES TO BE A VERY HOT DATE:


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


OHH and she can also be a 'fisherwoman'; thats important for me a gal that can put food on the table:

photos were taken in Oman ( i assume she had a diving event there and had very nice things to say about the country:
'' I have so much to say about Oman and such limited space to write here.
First of all, I want to highlight how beautifully unpredictable this country is. I didn’t expect it to be this stunning. Above the water, the nature is simply breathtaking.. the mountains, the landscapes, the atmosphere. And the people… so hospitable, so genuine, so relaxed. Truly wonderful.
I honestly feel a bit ignorant for not having considered Oman before or taken the time to learn more about it. It’s a magnificent country, and I deeply hope I’ll have the chance to explore it more fully one day.
Then there’s the underwater world, absolutely mind-blowing. The marine life is aaabsolutely incredible.. the diversity of species, the richness of life… it’s overwhelming in the best possible way. "

And I still feel like I can't even explain it.
I try, but the words just won't come.
The magic of that moment... still lives on in me.
And hopefully one day in you too. ]

















and maybe the best of all the videos is this one lasting the longest at 1/2 a minute:

[This video makes me feel like I'm watching a dance performance! It's so beautiful to see them twirling around with such elegance!
I couldn't be more grateful for these moments! ]

---i have posted her before; i only went 5 months deep into her IG still pardon any repeats; because i am sure there are a few---

++++++++++++now my 'regular stuff'; and not a lot of it since i just posted last week+++++++++++


and finally as i am browsing around to replace some of these i come across some FEARLESS WOMEN...quite the opposite to my opening peaceful@relaxed -watching...source: @islandscuba_puertorico and @goddessdiluna

LOOKING very very 'hot@sexy' for our appreciative TPOWIS audience....as shes being filmed for some sort of docu•series [We're working to make freediving more and more popular in Moldova]
https://www.picnob.com/post/6728204713424722646366/
and shes into a bit of coplay with this outfit:
https://www.picnob.com/post/6739446045233167273722/
in this last video shes training....gives you all an idea of what this form/sport of apnea is all about
https://www.picnob.com/post/6724724946725532264629/

shes @katerinadominik from the tiny country [municipality] of Moldova National Freediving Team 6× National Records Holder DNF 137m | DYNB 200m Ambassador @molchanovsfreediving

besides my print screens i did find photos on her IG of this event and more videos on her as well....
these last 3 photos are 9 years old



she looks very very young still today..........i havent googled her age
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

AHH YES A FEW HOT SURFING CHICKS TO FINISH UP THIS PRESENTATION....I ALSO FOUND A NEW SOURCE; so if you are in the land 'down under'; and want to hang around in Gerroa, New South Wales 2 hours from Sydney












heres a 6 yr old intro youtube video about this surf camp:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKuKRM8zPoY&
https://surfcamp.com.au/ EACH CAMP HAS A 2 to 3 minute video on youtube integrated into their main web page....so you can check out the girls and boys attending

Nearby is Seven Mile Beach National Park, a well regarded area for bird watching, walking and fishing. Hang gliding, paragliding, sailing, windsurfing,[3] and surfing are also enjoyed here.....

[davislove]

except for a handful of photos (from a Namibia surf school) ALL OF THE REST OF THESE are from a (aussie) surf camp retreat on flikr -they offer a full week stays...i like the way they document the photography by time and you actually have the photographer on surf boards themselves; hence why the close-ups in the water...interesting...surfcamp.com.au 3,5, and 7 day packages 2 hours from Sydney...all of the pics shown are recent as in late april and may from their flikr archives...Remember its the opposite over there; late april and may is their late Fall season...








































++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
all of that intense surfing at these retreats will usually open up your appetite....so why not a 'fresh catch of the day' supper:

and to close it out on a 'funny note' of sorts [semi-unrelated] to this post... ive heard folks keeping all sorts of pets...1ST TIME I SEE BABY ELEPHANTS ...shes @lizziedalywild a naturalist Scientist. Filmmaker. Wildlife Host. BBC, Love Nature, Nat Geo, Sky, CBBC + Channel 4 series 2026
https://www.picnob.com/post/6760694859326648217155/

caption read: 'For world elephant day I’d like to spotlight the work being done to care for orphaned elephants at the Elephant Transit Home, inside Udawalawe National Park, Sri Lanka.
I’ve spent the last year filming a new @channel4 series following the story of orphaned baby elephants being closely cared for here. A large part of our time was following their head vet Dr. Malaka Abeywardana and the conservation team on the ground to understand the scale of the problems with human - elephant conflict'

remember i said it was [semi-unrelated] because i picked up on her from a scuba diving IG source hence what i posted was funny/adorable/cute but as a scientist shes scuba capable:
