Guys, I am attending PFD this January. I fly. Do I have to rent a car or taxi is of any convenience? Thanks, Volodya...
You're most likely going to need to rent a car. The class and the diving are at 2 different locations around 30 minutes apart. The schedules can change quickly...

If you're flying into Fort Lauderdale there's sunshine rent a car. They are about 5 minutes from the airport and they have a shuttle that comes to pick you up....

Meir is right, you have to have wheels. Besides the quick trips all over Miami each day, you need to haul and secure your gear. Doug Raymond ...
I'll be going to Dutch for freediving on the 31st. Anyone else? I will probably also go to Willow Springs for the annual Polar Bear swim on January 1....
I'm going to be in Ohio for the weekend, but I would pass even if I was around. See you in April or May ;) Meir _____ From: EastCoastFreediver@yahoogroups.com ...

I will be SCUBA diving at Dutch at 11:00am New Year's eve day (Sat) and at Willow Springs 9:00am New Year's Day (Sun). I still need a SCUBA buddy for the Sat...
OK Bill, hope you find scuba buddies. If I do the Willow Springs polar bear swim on 1/1 I will be the one swimming laps along the catwalk. Nobody else swims,...
I'm also attending the PFD class in January. I never actually made it to dive at Dutch with any of you last year, but would be happy to share a rental car with...
Hi Tim, For the completion of my ocean dives I'm holding out for Cayman Islands in April. I stayed at a very weird but interesting place only a few miles from...
Doug, If you took the Polar Bear "plunge" earlier today at Willow Springs, sorry I missed it. I remembered to bring my camcorder with me today to take a video...
Tim, For the first PFD I stayed in the Holiday Inn which is close to FIU it was nothing to write home about. Other than that I'm not sure what else is near by....

Bill, Sorry we didn't connect again this year at Willow Springs, but it was good to run into you at the Dutch New Year's eve dive. I was the only freediver at...
Hello, fellas! I am back from PFD Intermediate. May be I will write more later, these are for now. 1. Doug is either a very tough man or he cheated during...
Hi Volodya, Thanks for the great report. So sorry about Ocean Palm, I thought I had given a big hint that it was a weird place, one that you would only go to...
Volodya, Nice report. I assume you guys got to dive all sessions ? How were the ocean conditions ? Hope to see you at Dutch this season, Meir ... From:...

Meir, for the first two days it was not even possible to get into the open ocean on a boat. Then we had almost a day which started perfectly but got worser to...
Right, similar things happened to me, but with the practice it got better. I was hitting 20m and 30m several times and sooner or later got the number of kicks...
This all sounds very interesting guys. I am really looking forward to siting at a table at Dutch and hearing all the stories. Looking forward to the spring- ...
Hi Jim, long time no see! Haven't you taken any of these classes? I am highly recommending to attend one. I have two kids and my wife works, but they let me go...
V- A number of us took the Trace Malin's freedive course at Dutch when he was teaching it a few years back. The whole PFD thing is frustrating because Kirk...
Hey guys, I also attended the PFD class in Miami, and can second Volodya's recommendation. I am a very inexperienced freediver, but I learned a lot, and I...
I've been at PFD in Jan, Apr and in Nov. I was comfortable in a 3mm in April and Nov, but January I froze my butt off. If I remember correctly the dive pool...
