You'll see a lot more.

I scuba and have commercially dove (very little time logged) as well. I always see more (and shoot more ) while freediving. Hence my user name, which is also my email, and etc. etc. Set it up when I was a youngin and email was getting popular.
I've dived open and closed circuit scuba, but I still prefer freediving. My uncle in Hawaii is a real water man. I've seen him routinely do free dives with 5+ minute breath holds. In the past, him and his friends did open ocean swims from Moloka'i to Maui.

I got certified back in 1976: I was 12 years old. It was through the Alameda County Sheriffs Department. The instructor's daughter's boyfriend or husband was the World Skin Diving Champion. I remember seeing his fins. They were about 5 feet long and very skinny. They were made in Italy.

Back then I had to learn everything; NOX, rebreathers, etc. I had to memorize the decompression charts. There were no multiple-choice questions. Every test answer had to be written in.

I got re-certified about 15 years ago (NAUI).

The Pacific Ocean around California is cold.
