Throw it several meters away from you and watch as it sinks. If nothing comes to it, dive down and retrieve it at about 10 meters
How do you control the rate of decent of the flasher?

It seems not new to you because the regulation was already in place when you came here. For us that have been spearfishing SF for years it's a new and shit/completely unnecessary regulation. And no I wouldn't take 500lb of "saltwater pike", I'm recreational. But I certainly would like to shoot a big barracuda if I see one after having already shot two small ones.

In Azores do you get the Great barracuda or the other ones?
What are the new regulations, Dan?
2 per person and one can be big https://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/barracuda/ Absolutely ridiculous.. they're a plague up in WPB county. You could get 500lb in a day in some spots.

High yield, very clean meat there's just the backbone. Excellent food fish except in areas where they can carry ciguatera. Very upset about the new Barracuda regulations in Florida.

%90 of the time visibility is great. It feels like you're at some exotic tropical destination not Miami. But it's a long drive, especially coming back tired.

Have you tried out of Homestead?

Welcome to the forum. My understanding is that in Texas good spearfishing is well offshore, so boat is a must.

Wow Marco that's really good. Is that what you call AP Sol?
So what do you think of S Florida spearfishing compared to PR?

Ha I was going to say 90ft and then heard 28 metros
Nice snapper, cubera or mangrove? If cubera then spawning?Kudos for the weight loss. I'm in the same boat. Been sitting in front of the computer for 2 months putting the new shop together https://spearfishing.store

Red camo has the advantage of being more visible on the surface, so a boat driver will be able to quickly locate a diver wearing a red suit. And yes red disappears at about 30ft (10m). Other than that it's a style choice.
Speardiver are great wetsuits and the Predator model is a red camo. It's currently on sale https://spearfishing.store/spe…ator-spearfishing-wetsuit
You can see in this video how it loses color gradually at depth.

Welcome to the forum Kyle.

Interesting idea. But couldn't it potentially rip into the bands as they contract, or snag the shooting line? Unless the pin is meant to be removed after loading. Also without having some rake/angle to it I can't see a straight pin holding the band wishbone in a secure way even temporarily.

Interesting conversion.
For us here it's the reverse, ride back in is hardest. Waves pick up in the afternoon, when you're most tired after a day of diving..

This hull is a very rough ride in waves 2ft+. Once on the plane it skips on top of the waves and hits hard every time it comes down.
Are the air chambers visible in that pic?

A hole in his face?

I've been caught in lightning storms out on the water a couple of times. Always wondered if lightning is more likely to hit a boat being the only object around higher than the water, and what would happen if it did hit the boat. Or if it hits the water near a diver what would happen to the diver.
A couple of videos I found, but they're not conclusive.

Interesting to note that here in Fort Lauderdale, only 116 miles from Grand Bahamas where the eye of category 5 hurricane Dorian has been stationary for 24 hours, we've been feeling no serious weather effects. It rained (not heavily) on and off a few times throughout today Monday. The rain and sky had an unusual ominous feel to it, but I can't be sure it's not me projecting my own worries. The streets are eerie with little car traffic.

Sad. No smoke detectors/fire alarms in the cabin?
