This post is mostly intended for the baby boomer generation (like me) who are by now, ripe enough!
I found the very first french speargun my Dad had given me for my 13th. birthday. It sure brought back alot of memories It was a Champion/Cavalero Arbalete aluminum two rubber bands.
Some time latter he upgraded me to a Tarzan 4 rubbers. I had it made!
I have always wondered... those were relatively primitive guns, our fins were short, uncomfortable as well as out round masks with a metal circle, no equalization possibilities except finding the way around under your nose as you could! Would you believe I dove with a hard aluminum snorkel?:(
And we dove, and speared fish of all kinds! These days we must expend a fortune in all those geeky looking, high tech, state of the art gear..:crazy:
