Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Welcome to the forum.

Congratz and good luck with your venture.

The leader fins are cheaply made, blades are slow/not snappy so you get little propulsion/return for your kicking effort. Stay away from fins where the foot pockets have short little tendons/arms like the ones with these forza leader fins, they're the latest fad out of china. The short foot pockets don't offer enough support for the blade and are missing the water channeling effect that's necessary to stabilize the fin. You get what you pay for.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I know that moment, seeing the prop spinning right next to you, feeling complete impotence and resigning yourself in a flash to what is about to happen. Thankfully you will recover. A reminder to not trust and expect the worst negligence from people you're not intimately familiar with.

Interesting video. Once I turned on the translation/subtitles

Do you ever take Moray eel? It's a little hard to process, skin must be peeled (very slippery) but edible.

Hi Richard, welcome to the forum.
I can't recommend fiberglass fins because good fiberglass blades will cost about the same as carbon blades. Carbon fins are faster and lighter than fiberglass and nowadays quite durable depending on manufacturer, so there's no benefit to fiberglass fins. Cheap fiberglass fins are little better than plastic. Speardiver C90 are excellent carbon fins and are competitively priced Speardiver C90 Carbon Spearfishing Fins. I recommend medium stiffness.
For your stated measurements plus 2mm socks, the best fit length wise is OMER Stingray size 43-44 OMER Stingray Foot Pockets (spearfishing.store). Looks like you have wide feet so not sure how much pressure you'll feel from the sides. If too tight you'll have to go to the next size up, but then the foot pockets will be too long. Good luck.

I found a loaded pneumatic a few years ago. It spend much longer on the bottom than yours as was evident from all the barnacle growth on it. Still fired right there and then although with less pressure.

Should you use a reel with your speargun? If no reel, what's the alternative? Good answers here from Daniel Mann.

I found an inexpensive way to repair holes and cracks in a kayak and other thick plastic material using a plastic welder stapler. The tool heats up a stainless steel staple which melts the plastic and gets fused into it becoming integral part of the hull material.
In this situation I had the broken piece from the hole. The edges were jagged and fit was tight, with no access to the repair area from the inside of the kayak. The solution was to drill a hole in the middle of the loose piece, push a cord through and tie a knot on the other side to secure the cord, then pull very hard for the piece to snap into position from the inside out. This small hole was later filled with melted plastic. The broken piece fit so well it did not need to be taped to hold in place while I was stapling.
The best method is to put the staple on the hull and start heating until it begins to sink into the material, some finesse is required here so as not to push it in too deep so it comes out the other side, or leave it too shallow and exposed. Once deep enough twist to lock the staple in, a squirt of water to cool the weld fast, and pull off the tool leaving the staple embedded in the plastic.
After finished stapling all around, snip off the metal staple leads with a side cutter, and use the second plastic welder/iron to melt and flatten the repair areas. Add/melt more plastic into the seams if needed, polyethylene material is easily obtained as many plastic containers are made of it. In this case I used a tear off piece from the lid of a grey 5 gallon paint bucket which matched the color of my kayak perfectly. Sanding the repair flat with coarse then fine grit sandpaper with an electric palm sander, then painting to match the original camo pattern, and kayak looks brand new. The stapled repair is very strong and will withstand direct impact.

That's an unusual looking fish.

Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. What is the logic for one month and specifically May?
-
Nice fish.
When you say season opened do you mean there are regulations in Greece prohibiting spearfishing outside season time?
