Be careful there with restless reef sharks because people of the scuba diving center have been using to feed bull sharks and to make these predator ''thinking'' that humans = feed/preys...

Yes it is rather retro. Makes me think of Nautilus/Capt Nemo.

Actually over the years the trigger guard has been made much larger for just that reason. Diving in icy lake waters many Russian divers wear gloves or mittens. The last two iterations of the handle have been designed for use with gloves, the one below…

Looks like a bad trigger guard design. Getting a finger on the trigger with gloves on will be like threading a needle.

Hi, yes absolutely I sure will, If I can find a guide for the trip,

Welcome to the forum. Good luck with the search. Post about your trip when you get back.

I came to the same conclusion as you about Chinese manufacturing in general. But when they get it dialed in they can make good stuff. Fortunately for me the Chinese know nothing about spearfishing.. yet. And I think they won't learn because…

The main problem with Chinese stuff is ignorance and a propensity for cutting corners, they will switch materials or finishes to lower costs with an alternative that they think will do the same job, only problem is some aspect they never thought of is…

Salvimar makes crap. So that goes a little against your premise

The Chinese know a lot about manufacturing, but not a lot about spearfishing and only learned a bit more when they got the nod to make speargun parts for Mares and Omer. Plastic prongs that bust off, metal items that rust or are too small like line…

To clear up any doubt about whether these are the Seac pneumatic spearguns. Seac updated the Asso model two years ago. This is what it looks like now, available from Spearfishing Store Seac Asso CR Speargun. I wouldn't mess with the Chinese pneumatic…
