Whatever his motivation I believe I have the solution.

Under my moms bed there is a tiny hole under the matress were she jumps into. Every month we empty it out.

That's a new one even for me. How about sealing the hole?

Google earth combined with the Florida Near Shore overlays will give you a good idea based on the shading. This is what it looks like and you can zoom in more. The programs can be downloaded free.

Too bad about your cheese, nice expensive stuff cheese.. Good story Davie and it reminds me of one.
I was at a friends house and he owned a little white husky looking thing, was maybe 8 months at the time. We're all hanging out in the living room and my friend goes to do something in the kitchen, he then calls me over to show me an empty plastic tub of margarine on the floor. His assumption was that the dog ate it all and he was asking me if I think it will hurt the dog in any way. This was not your regular tub of margarine, it was the big family size which is about three times the normal size. He told me it was near full before the dog got to it. I said lets wait and see.
We went back to the living room and kept an eye on the dog. In five minutes the dog starts heaving and throws up a puddle of oil. My friend cleans up the mess. A minute later the dog starts heaving again and another puddle of oil. The whole thing repeated itself about 5 times. That dog had ingested some funky things throughout his career.

Yep, I feel like saying that after every post.

What was the outcome of that mess where they were going to not allow any spearfishing for you guys?
I'll bet with regulations like you mentioned the place gets too much pressure and is barren. Are there many Japanese spearfishers? Makes me appreciate seeing you guys with fish. Even if some of them are parrot fish <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Are you saying I can use sea water to make drinking water with this system?
Does this system come with changeable filters and are they commonly available? How often do they need to be changed and are they reasonably priced?
Are all reverse osmosis systems the same or do you recommend a particular brand?
I've noticed that some bottled water sold in publix has a ridiculously bad taste, like some sort of chemical. I can't believe people buy it, it may be clean but it tastes much worse than tap water. Other bottled water has a slight water melon taste to it.
-
Do I understand correctly that you're currently using the reverse osmosis filter for your drinking water at home starting with tap water? Do you recommend this filter? How does it install? What does it cost?
-
Does anyone use the kind of water purifier/filter that attaches to the kitchen faucet? Does it work well and take away the bad taste? The water here in Ft Lauderdale looks yellowish if you fill a white plastic bucket and doesn't taste good. But I'm tired of buying the big 5 Gallon water bottles.

I can't see why Dania would be any earlier than Sunrise. Sunrise lifeguards go on duty at 9am. You can swim out anywhere from Dania at any time. Kayaks however must be launched at least 50 meters north of the pier.

Hello Ben, and welcome to the forum. I live in Ft. Lauderdale and beach dive from here.

Hello Stevo and welcome to the forum. When you say metal detecting in the ocean you mean on the beach or underwater? I have no idea how this can be done underwater. Snorkeling water time is just the kind of thing that will make spearfishing come naturally. Give it a little time and I'm sure you'll be able to coordinate a beach or boat dive with some guys here.

Wouldn't you rather have a float like hau's?
As a Christmas bonus it comes with an optional add on oral inflation valve <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

LOL I was going to say the same.. I'll be getting rid of this board once the new one is made. I'd like to give it to someone who'll use it but I hate to give someone I know something that doesn't work optimally IMO. I'll let it go with the stipulation "don't catch too many fish" which for some guys shouldn't be a problem
Edit - I no longer have the board.

Yes I have that cyrano and also a little 700 but I don't use them. The 700 is for one specific situation and is a short range gun so accuracy is not an issue. Cyrano 970 was actually my first gun and I found it to be accurate having never used a speargun before. I never even considered the question of overhang with a pneumatic. I only started to get into accuracy problems and considerations after I switched to a Riffe band gun. In retrospect it was a question of simply having overpowered it but before I found that out I explored all other aspects of the gun that could possibly contribute to accuracy. Power, handle shape and placement, mass of the stock, inline band placement etc etc. I found that most factors that people place great emphasis on contribute little to the accuracy question. My conclusions are that the factors affecting accuracy most in order of importance are:
1. Not overpowering the gun and shaft overhang.
2. Shape of handle and closeness to the plain of travel of the spear.
This works for band guns. Greekdiver BTW believes that for a pneumatic as little overhang as is necessary to clear the flopper from the muzzle is the way to go. -
Thanks for the advice Marco but I don't use a pneumatic. The pic in the beginning was just to show the bungee. Good tip nonetheless. Regarding the aim with the band gun. I do not use the shaft to aim, I shoot instinctively. I found the correct overhang (13") to be of utmost importance for accuracy.
