Cool vid Jeromy. Good to see you and your friends. Did you feel claustrophobic at all and if so how did you deal with it? I'm very weary underwater when I don't have open space above me, it affects my bottom time.

Maybe no fishing off the beach during the day when people could be in the water?

I'm sure a lot of you guys missed this because Rick edited his post. See post #11. Thanks Rick, that was interesting and it makes sense.

This is a walker. If I had time I'd attach a JBL to it <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Well that answered all my questions LOL Except what's a speargen? <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

I meant the gun pics but that one's cool too.

Did you already talk about the Tomba muzzle? What does it do?

Pics?

Very nice vid Harry. The rays were magical.

Thanks for the report.

Is it illegal?

Hank, looking at your pic I see another reason why your cable may have failed. You should get yourself a proper crimping tool and the right crimps for that diameter cable. I prefer double barrel crimps because the end result is more compact.

In my case my foot is 11" long, I wear shoe size 11, and the omer Millenium 42-44 (9-11) fit me snug without socks or with Lycra socks, but not uncomfortable. That's what I prefer. I'd rather the footpocket be slightly tight than loose, as long as the rubber is stretchy/not hard.

You should ask the local fishermen if barracuda tend to have ciguatera in your area. If they don't then shoot em' up, good eats and takes some pressure off the other fish.

Is barracuda sold in your local fish market?

Instruct people new to boating to throw anchor if they can't start the boat. Seems obvious but it didn't occur to me until I was told.

Anchoring is fine if the area you're going to dive is small and/or there is no current. Most of the time there will be current which reduces your ability to hunt the area effectively since you always have to make sure you have enough juice to swim back to the boat.

I find that swimming up current first to be assured an easy return to the boat doesn't make for good hunting. Breathing up properly is impossible when you're kicking against current, so you do a half assed job of hunting the area you managed to cover up current. Then on the easier return it seems like nothing is going to be there any more. If the boat is anchored I take my chances with swimming down current, but getting back can be a stressful affair.

A good driver eliminates all these problems. You can drift the same area more than once and be productive.

Kleberson, I got your email and replied.

Yes I believe 46-48 will be your size. See a picture of my size 11 foot in 44-46 Pathos footpockets, notice the length/where my toes are.

Weird, I looked at that picture two times and never noticed the gun until LB mentioned it.

Welcome to the forum Kleberson.

I think you've been trying to reach me by email. I responded a couple of times but my emails don't seem to be getting through. If that was you please confirm.

Why don't you ever listen to what more experienced divers have to say Ben :rolleye2:
