Luis Souffront Honor Shirt

Luis A. Souffront was a Warrior, Brother, lover, fighter, EOD tech, and one of the best operators we have ever known. He was killed on February 8th, 2008 in Iraq while crushing the enemy. He continually put himself in harm’s way to protect his brothers and would have done anything to accomplish our mission of protecting FREEDOM. This design represents just a fraction of what Luis stood for. He absolutely loved spear fishing, and the Dynamis team has embraced that lifestyle because of his influence. The mines in the water represent the danger that was present while doing what he loved most. He always “got amongst it,” and no matter the circumstances, he gave it his all.

February 8th

If there was one place Luis always wanted to spend his time, it was on and in the water. Everyone that knew him understood his pure passion for the ocean. He had no problem spreading his love for free diving and spearfishing to his teammates and every time he would, it was infectious. To this day we meet, fish, and free dive in his honor. There is no doubt he changes lives and opens hearts to the beautiful underwater world of this planet.
