Freediving has rapidly become an extremely popular sport, especially among the offshore fishing community. An old watermans addage says... "Every hour spent in the water erases a weeks worth of worries on land."

Maybe this is why so many people are taking the plunge out there lately. In this episode of the The Watermans Journal , we hope to catch a glimpse of some underwater scenery from the PELAGIC PRO TEAM freedivers. Lets see what makes them get into the water...
