  • Speardiver Quick slip-on Powerhead and belt pouch

    I have no compassion for sharks that pose a risk to me or my catch. They're capable of a "thought" process that allows them to respect a bigger shark that can be a danger to them. If they're not doing the same thing with me it's because I've become a "non threat" which is not far from prey. I can't allow this to happen.

  • He is indeed a Republican!!

    A stick hit might have been more appropriate. But if he feels the need to protect himself against bad guys as well and he can only carry one weapon then it's justified IMO.

  • Speardiver weight vest

    Alan, what would solve your problem of the belt riding up is a good rubber belt, not the RA as it has hardly any stretch. If that wasn't enough for those of us using uncoated pinch weights, putting a strip of Herculiner or rubber on the side of the weights that goes against the body will seal the deal.

  • Speardiver weight vest

    I'm considering adding this weight vest to the Speardiver line. A weight vest is for cold water divers who use thick wetsuits and require more weight and better weight distribution than what only a weight belt can afford. Better weight distribution may also be required when diving very shallow. It is not meant to replace the weight belt but rather be used in conjunction with it. About two thirds of the weight should go on the belt so that in the event you drop the belt there will be sufficient increase in buoyancy to allow an easy ascent and positive buoyancy at a predetermined safe depth.


    The neoprene vest contains 6 compartments that can hold up to 2lb of lead each, for a total of 12lb, in standard weight belt weights or lead shot pouches. The compartments have a velcro closure on the inside of the vest. The green camo jersey matches the Pursuit green camo wetsuits. The vest has a quick release plastic buckle in the front with an adjustable strap. It has a D ring in the lower back to connect the vest to the belt if necessary to stop it from riding down when inverting for a dive.


    EDIT - The Speardiver weight vests are now available $60. They can also be purchased here diving weight vest

  • Broward Beach Conditions

    Thanks for the pic, it will be really helpful in the future if you post more of these.


    Yes it's still huge, you have to learn to resample the pics. The more of them you'll add at this size the slower the page will load.

  • New Suit

    Thanks for praising the suit.


    The 5mm feels the same, just warmer. The 7mm I haven't tried yet. I sent a 7mm out to someone recently I hope to get input soon.


    Where are the pics? :)

    hau, the next thing you need to learn is to resample the pics to a smaller resolution. If you click on the pics you posted you will see how big they really are. In this case you want to bring them down to 718 pixel width. The pics will look better, be much smaller in terms of data size and consequently faster to view. It's easy to resample, only takes a minute, see the pic posting tutorial.


    This resampled pic is 100kb, 1/10 the size of yours at a whopping 1mb. For someone using a dial up modem to access the internet it will take forever for this page to load.


  • Kitto M-7 trigger mechanism

    Pucho, when you say that pins were moved you mean there were new holes made in the housing and some of the previously made holes were now empty?


    Gun looks good. I think I remember you posting it.
