A friend from Europe sent me this vid taken with his Gopro, of him spearing 4 fish with one shot. Don't get excited, these are small fish. Even so I don't know how likely it is to spear 4 fish if I shoot into a Margate hole.

Why no fish? Wrong time of year or over fished? Cool video.
There are fish taken in the last third of the vid, I guess you didn't watch the whole thing.

Nice fish.

diver is over weighted (about 5 to 6 kg?) and rope should be helpfull to get back to the surface but
bulliera in one hand, fish in the other hand, rope in the other hand...
more effective and convenient in my modest opinion while using a 2kg release weight managed by the buddy from the surfaceI don't think you watched the video. The diver doesn't hold the fish or gun on ascent, they are managed from the surface. Depending on the diver's preference the gun can serve as the release weight.

Beautfiul cubera. These fish always impress me.

This is footage that Pantoja took during the recent trip to his home town in Isle of pines AKA Isla de la Joventud Cuba. There isn't a lot of fish action. But for those interested the video gives some idea of what spearfishing is like in Cuba. You can see the rope assistance technique (cordelero, cordeliar) employed by the Cuban divers. Thanks for the video Sergio.
Watch it in full screen (button at bottom right corner of the player).

Unusual to see the shaft stand up like that. Looks like your accuracy is good with the air gun. Keep the muzzle out of the sand, especially when unloaded. A grain of sand in the barrel will scratch it when you load and will cause an air leak. Then there's no option but to replace the barrel.

Nice vid.

No Peter. I'm asking about the color of the mono. Here we don't like clear/transparent.

Clear/transparent monofilament shooting line.

Very nice picture Peter. In Europe divers prefer clear mono? Why?

Steven picked up the loading quickly, more so because it's a long gun 110cm. But he got good instruction
and he's got the reach for it. As long as you can reach the loader and grip it well, loading a pneumatic is a cinch. -
There's always a metal slide ring, check your plastic slider and you'll see.

The only reason I stopped using them was the shafts. Big fish bend those shafts.
Do you think there'd be an interest in carbon steel pneumatic shafts? I can source them. Problem is the slide ring will take off the coating I think. The only way would be to put the line attachment hole in front of the muzzle. But if I remember right that's how you had it anyways no?

Knee pain is not something anyone can work through, there's nothing pussy about looking for a different exercise option.

Steven will get the fish, but you won't like how it scares away your fish.
I likey this post, even though I prefer band guns. Steven, I think you can mark the clamp strip where it engages the screw, and sheath it in shrink tubing up to that point. Or tape around it with self amalgamating tape.

Maybe rope skipping will put less pressure on your knees since both feet are taking the shock at the same time. But it's a more intense workout.
Why don't you ride a normal bike? I don't do it here because I know I'm going to get hit by a car sooner or later. For some reason I figure traffic is not so bad where you're at.
