Jimi, I'm sure you dove deep to collect your fish but I wonder about the depth. There's a thing called mask squeeze where the pressure of the water forces the mask or goggles into your eyes. With a dive mask you can equalize by blowing air into the mask. But swimming goggles don't allow you to do that (equalize), so either the goggles were imbedded into your eye sockets or you know some secret technique that I need to learn. That must been some challenge getting down without a suit, fins, or weights. What you did is pretty much exactly what spearfishermen do to free their fish.

In case I came across sounding like an ass in my post, let me say that it was not intended to sound like that.
