Amazing Staff Calm Nervous Dive Mom

Having a calm, brave spearfishing 18 year old son requires a lot of respect and love. I have to accept he’s living his best life, doing what he loves and is safe. Last month we walked into Spear America together to set up a rig and get some gear. Kristina was having a churro party and made me feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. We picked up a new dive knife, the rig, and registered my son for his spear fishing safety course. He’s on his way to being Padi level two certified and I feel way better about this community, with each encounter. It’s their expertise that makes me feel calm. Everyone shares a love of the ocean and its life and I appreciate them more than they know. Thanks ❤️
