    Sorry it's taking a long time. As with all things Speardiver I want these wood euros to be right the first time I offer them. Changes needed to be made to the design but it's all finalized now. Just waiting for the last prototype before going into production. Price is $500 - $600 depending on the length of the gun.


    Some features:
    Carbon between the laminates to ensure a permanent straight stock.
    Cuttlefish shape for easy tracking, inline band pull and recoil control.
    Graphite covered track with built in magnets for ease of loading.
    Ergonomic handle with good angle and grippy coating, for good leverage on the gun/easy tracking.
    Comfortable loading butt.
    Stainless steel reverse trigger mechanism for added band stretch. 1.5mm housing, 9mm sear, 6mm trigger.
    Auto resetting line release.



    Pics of the trigger mech.

    But don't taunt the devil.

    Lovely weather today to stay at home and catch up on overdue projects, as the world is washing itself.

    I think you need softer, longer blades. And then adjust your kicking style to longer, smoother strokes.


    I would try DiveR soft and medium blades.

    Chuck, I've been considering for a long time introducing fiberglass blades similar to DiveR, but with correct angle and better rails. I can't make a decision, I guess because hard as I try at that price point I can't justify fiberglass blades, although I'm aware other people are buying them. Can you please help me by explaining the reasons and point of view of someone choosing fiberglass blades that cost $100 more than carbon, and are heavier and less responsive than carbon. I promise I will not argue, I just really need to understand the rational to make a decision. I'm actually wrestling with the decision at this very moment. To me the reasons in favor of the fiberglass fins is to give DiveR some well deserved competition, and that they'll match the Speardiver wetsuit patterns. Me being a practical diver these reasons don't seem to be enough.

    Had really dirty water today. Diving to 60 plus feet just to see if there were any fish. Weird day.

    Often these are Miami diving conditions. It took me a long time to adjust to this blind diving, I was used to hunting from the top. I still don't like it much and can only do a couple of hours like this over reef. When diving on artificial stuff it's not bad unless there's current, because the fish are either concentrated in one spot or are not there at all in which case we move on.

    Always liked that song. It's appropriate in an eerie way, but feels like a bad omen. I never liked how they give hurricanes people names.
