  • [SOLD] Snorkels $5

    I'll be around just give me a heads up. I'm very tempted to dive but I have to abide by my rule of no beach dives here on the weekend. Especially in the summer.

  • [SOLD] Snorkels $5

    These are snorkels that we've been sampling. There's only one of each selling for $5. They look kinda short in the pics because of the angle I took the photo but they're all normal length snorkels.


    EDIT - All sold.

  • Masks - Why two lenses?

    The following may be obvious to some of you but I figured this out a little while back checking out frameless masks. We're always looking for low volume without sacrificing field of view. One way of doing that is by bringing the lens closer to the face. A frameless mask achieves this well but there's a limit to how close the lens can get. Once the lens is touching the ridge of your eyebrows that's it. At that point to further increase the sideways field of view it becomes necessary to make the lens wider so the mask becomes wider. Once it becomes wider you're starting to increase internal volume again.


    The other way of increasing sideways field of view would be a rounded lens that curves around the eyes. But this would be much more expensive to manufacture than flat little pieces of tempered glass, I don't think anyone has done it. I then thought that a curved lens mask would be the ultimate mask when it occurred to me that a similar effect is achieved by separating the lens into two parts and angling them away from the middle mimicking a curve. Now you've gained sideways field of view without increasing volume.

  • Pins for floppers

    Tip: Don't grind the pins to make them shorter, they get hot and become too soft for shaping with a hammer. Use a dremel cutting disc to cut them to correct length.


    Unfortunately I got the pins and floppers from the same source that I was going to get the shafts. Apparently the guy took my deposit for the shafts and disappeared. I still have a bunch of pins and floppers but I will only sell them together http://spearfishing.world/spea…ers-barbs-for-spears.html



  • Couple recent trips

    Fish camp? Maybe those bay doors are for boats and the whole place is like a hotel for people going fishing? So they can stay close to their boats and make sure they don't get vandalized. Maybe I'm totally off.

  • Rompe dedos

    That was nothing, Pantoja's had the same thing happen and it was much worse than that, it raked the meat of his finger right off the bone. But at least this one was caught on video. I hate those articulated wishbones, I call em quitadedos (finger removers). If you're going to have your gun rigged like that, I wouldn't, at least use gloves.

  • Surf board for spearfishing

    I think it's worth it if you can figure out how anchor the cleat properly and seal the bungee hole so that the foam doesn't suck up water. Then you can paint it red, go spearfishing in your birthday suit, and when you shoot a 300lb tuna jump up on the board and let the wind run through your long eyelashes as the fish pulls you over the píelago <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • Cuba spearfishing

    Oh that's so good to have in Cuba..


    Yes, the best spearfishermen I've known are in/from Cuba. Even if it's just because of the amount of work they have to put in to make a living out of it. Getting around without adequate transportation carrying gear and fish, swimming great distances, and using old shit gear.
