I'm proud of this addition to the Speardiver line. For socks I wanted the comfort and warmth of open cell, but was concerned about toe nails tearing the sensitive interior. I came up with the idea of a reinforced toe area two years ago, when to my knowledge no other company made this kind of sock. Since then I know one other spearfishing gear manufacturer that incorporated this feature, but I still feel it's a Speardiver original.

The sole of the sock is made with Supertex, the same flexible durable material used for Speardiver wetsuits knee and elbow protection. The sole interior is lined with Lycra to prevent sipping inside the sock when walking, and not lose the stretchiness of the sock. As already mentioned the interior of the toe area is also lined with Lycra. This results in a sock that effectively stops water circulation providing great warmth for the feet, without sacrificing durability.

The socks are available in all the same patterns as Speardiver wetsuits, in thicknesses 3mm, 5mm (7mm coming soon), and sizes S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL Freedive Store - Socks.

Thank you Don. Very interesting to see the writing style of those days.

Gutsy shaft recovery. Nice vid.

Cool pics.

We had some very decent vis. I felt I really earned this 7lb snapper, played hide and seek with him for what felt like 20 minutes in 45ft, and finally got a shot. I didn't know it was a dog until I had him in my hands. He was white on the bottom, and I took the shot hiding behind a rock from further than I would've liked to.

You should go to the park/docks on Sunrise blvd just past the first bridge on the north side. There's a small beach away from the docks, I take the dog there swimming sometimes and wade in. It's pretty clean, I've never seen oil. You can also go to the park off Victoria park, there's a cement wall there with steps to the water. People launch kayaks there sometimes. You may prefer that as there's no sand and you can put your weights on the cement wall.

Very nice, it's perfect. I'd go nearby to the dock and ballast it in the salt water. You don't want to mess with this on the boat with so much going on.

Come on Jeb, no need to play those games here

Hey ease up on Jebediah compadre

Very nice.

Use a shark spike as a line guide. Just offset it to the left some. I think it will look cool. You can return the guide.

If the stock didn't have a 1/2" roundover you could attach it to the side pointing up. How about milling a pocket and pinning it vertically

It boggles my mind the ridiculous stuff that people will pay money for. I mean a pet rock is one thing, but this supposedly is going to someone expecting to take a fish with it. I lament I'm psychologically incapable of selling something like this. The seller has 2500 feedback which is substantial, as feedback normally indicates only a fraction of actual sales.

Those caps are obviously from chair legs. I wonder how long before the whole thing rusts to shit.

I feel it's my responsibility to educate dog owners about this, for the sake of the poor dogs. Commercial dog food is a multi million dollar industry in more ways than one. The filler used in ALL kibble to increase the volume of the food can't be assimilated by the dog, that's why dog crap from commercial food is three times the size, and causes a range of diseases the most common ones being skin disorders. Which brings the dogs to the vets where more millions get spent, the vast majority of vets have no clue about nutrition, and recommend the shit commercial dog food, and round and round it goes. This is no conspiracy theory, just sadly the way it works. It's absurd to contemplate people who believe the dog food companies know better about what's good for their dog than mother nature. But then most don't know what's healthy for themselves either.

I have 5mm open cell socks that match your suits. They will be warmer than 7mm double lined.

This is Dustan's thread and he clearly stated that he wants to hear certain people's opinions, so I'm staying out of it.

To be clear Sames' asking about an open cell suit. Here's one relevant review http://spearfishing.world/74422-post8.html

Has the name Wong become synonymous with a hybrid speargun? Or do you want to know about Wong hybrids specifically?

I'm not clear on whether you really want to hear the cons. I think meaningful opinions about hybrids can only come from those who have had good experience with a wide range of spearguns. To keep things in perspective, it would be helpful if those who prefer/use a hybrid state what guns they've used previously.
