Freediving and Spearfishing In Ukraine

We have been enjoying our summer in Ukraine and have had  a great chance to do some interesting diving here.  Thanks to good fortune, we are staying not to far from one of the best spear fishing areas in Ukraine, which has allowed us the chance to get in the water spearing quite a few time this year.  The Nipper is one of the most interesting diving areas I have had the chance to diving in.  Often the viability is quit low and if you see a fish you better be on your game or he will be gone into the dark water before you can think twice. 

On one of our diving trips, my friend and I were doing some diving close to town.  We were in the water for some 3 hours with very little luck.  Then suddenly out of nowhere a nice sized carp came swimming in front of me.  I made the shot and managed to bring it in.  My friend who I was diving with however was not fortunate enough to find any fish that day.  He did however receive another gift from the river.  Some how in this mercy water he managed to come across a rather large pink dildo.  I guess its possible to take it as some king do enigmatic message from god, but at the end of the day it is just a ridiculously funny find.  The photo to the right shows our respective catch for the day.  Diving in Ukraine is full of surprises and I'm not sure what we will find next when we journey to the Black see for some more freediving and spear fishing.
