Speardiver Reef spearfishing wetsuit is available in three different Long sizes specifically made for divers with Tall and Thin body types.
QuoteSuit is great by the way, I have one over two years old now that I still use (2-3x/week - I typically never use a suit longer than a year). Keep making that large long size, that's gold.

There are 3 models; M3 $1000, M5 $1600 and M7 $2500. They function the same, difference is in the electronics; how many different programs, Bluetooth connectivity etc. Main difference between the M3 and M5 is that the M3 has a manual difficulty level control, like a rotating speed shifter on a bike. With the M5 it's all electronic. I thought I would've been fine with the M3. But found that on the used market there were only M5 machines. I reasoned it's their more popular seller. Got my M5 off Craigslist for $850, like new and assembled (it ships disassembled). I was pretty sure that I'd be able to find it used as many aspirational fitness machines end up being tossed.
I think I was lucky to discover this machine. I was at Dick's store pondering on whether I should buy weights, and a Bowflex M3 was right there along with treadmills and elliptical machines. It looked interesting so I tried it. After one minute on the machine I was considering buying it. Then tried the elliptical machines to make sure I wasn't missing out on something even better. I found my movement on the elliptical machines felt unnatural. That's when I realized how good the Bowflex Max is. It has a fan and blows air out the bottom sides depending how fast you're going, an additional detail that makes you feel like you're achieving something. And it takes up little space.
I'm using this machine Bowflex Max M5 and it's very good, there's no joint impact, none. It's a combination of a stepper with an elliptical, unique machine I think. I find it hard, burns the legs big time. Once you get past that you can achieve a serious cardio workout. I would always make fun of gimmicky machines, couldn't see the point why not just grapple, run, swim or cycle. But now various joints hurt and I can't do what I used to do. This machine saved my ass. Maybe once I get stronger with it I'll be able to do other stuff again.
Nice looking fish. What species are they?
Nice fab work, looks like Delrin/Acetal? I don't get how it will glue to the tubes. I'll wait for more pics.
Welcome to spearfishing world.
Wow now that's a find!
Looking nice. Does the 303 citrus degreaser work the same as the regular/old 303 protectant?
oooh a double! Murky water but plenty of fish. I'm envious 
That's the new website showcasing the Speardiver brand. Too many things to do, too little time 
No need to apologize, there are no restrictions here about linking to or quoting content from another forum be it spearbored or other.
Of course when pressure and movement are applied to two surfaces/sliding against each other, there's going to be wear. We all know that triggers will eventually wear out, either at the point of contact between sear and trigger, or between spear and roof of mechanism casing. Using good quality metal parts slows down this wear/deformation and makes it predictable, as opposed to plastic parts where deformation can happen quickly. You can say plastic is more slippery which eliminates wear on both parts (one metal one plastic), but I feel more secure with all metal parts.
feels like you're getting close.
Good story thanks for sharing. I get the feeling you were diving a wreck.
I disassembled a Rob Allen trigger mechanism so you can see the internals. The Rob Allen trigger mechanism I have here should be the current version as it came from a Vecta 2 handle, which BTW was misfiring and replaced (warrantied by Rob Allen US distributor) for a customer, I kept the malfunctioning mechanism. I don't know why the line release pivot pin is plastic. I disagree that there's a problem with a stainless steel trigger and sear. I think a plastic trigger is used to lower production costs. A steel trigger does add weight to a speargun, but I think a trigger mechanism is not a part where compromises should be made for sake of weight. There are other parts that can be adjusted to increase buoyancy.
well done.
Fisherman reportedly survives spear through his head
A fisherman reportedly is safe and sound after a spear pierced both sides of his head during an excursion on the open seas.
The Daily Mail reports the incident happened somewhere in the Bahamas after photos of the man went viral across the globe.
The photos show the unidentified man with a spear going through the left side of head to the right, with blood covering the bottom of his face.
Apparently, whatever doctors were able to do proved to be successful as another picture showed the same man post-surgery. The man is bandaged up, surrounded by two others who are obviously happy that he's still alive.
Welcome to the forum.
Stainless steel cable as shooting line is unusual for this type of speargun. The only time I'd use cable for bottom hunting is if I was regularly shooting into wrecks with sharp metal edges.
Sharkey, what do you mean by eccentrics?
