Ah! I found a sympathetic ear :bottomup:

Es un buen lugar para llevar a la jeva con unos amigos y pasar la tarde tomando ron y escuchando musica. Siempre y cuando haya un carro..

Creo que conozco ese lugar. Es la unica playa aparte de las embocaduras de los rios entre Brisas del mar y Matanzas. Ese lugar es muy lindo. Yo tenia fotos mirando desde arriba hacia el mar con esas islitas en el fondo. La unica vez que me tire alli el agua estaba muy sucia/blanca y me desilusione.

Every time I see an "I got a new wong" thread, you know the one where the guy is so proud of his gun and takes shots from different angles. The wood work is nice and the finish is sublime but then I see that stupid handle and I don't know whether to laugh or cry. That POS bubble gum vending machine plastic handle with the two bolt holes exactly in the center where the two pieces seem like they were joined, that always breaks at the screw holes. The one that's designed like some kind of pistol grip from 50 years ago that was never meant to be fired underwater. With those ugly semi clear colors. And when you grip it feels like you're holding a pencil and can barely track with the gun.

It's even worse when it's someone else's gun build and they use the Aimrite handle. How about the price of it!! Mr Wong, invest a couple of hundred dollars in another mold, make a decent handle so I can try and heal my emotional scars from seeing your handles. Even Aimrite doesn't use the Aimrite handle anymore. Can you take a hint?

Boca de jaruco es un lugar muy lindo. Cuba tiene los paisajes que mas me agradan. Me imagino como estaban esos lugares para la pesca submarina hace 50 años. Pero en Cuba siempre habian pescadores con anzuelo.

Y otro pueblo que es santa fe del norte. Habia un muchacho aqui, tiburon, que fue de alli pero se desaparecio. Yo pasaba por santa fe del norte amenudo llendo a pescar pa'l este, puerto escondido, yumuri/boca de tiburon.. Conoces esos lugares Ivan? Boca de tiburon es un lugar bello. En el camino para atras, cerca de la via blanca por el lado de la costa habia un lugarcito con puercos y tambien alli se vendia yogurt. Siempre parabamos para ver si habia para comprar un pomo

Alecrin, Pantoja es de santa fe, isla de pinos.

Won't the welding rod rust?

The marker will most likely be deployed from or near the surface by the diver who located the bottom structure. It is important that it deploy smoothly and rapidly before current moves it from where it was supposed to land. The Bass pro markers I saw in the link mentioned above wouldn't be very visible from a short distance away if there's any wave action.

Jeff, a couple of different ones with different length cord is a good idea. For this I would need to get at least two. I was thinking of having a way to tie off the line once the weight hits the bottom to prevent further deployment of line. This way I can make do with one marker.

Ray, the shape of the weight certainly needs to be considered. Ideally I don't want something that would get caught on a wreck too easily. But some holding power a must, those mushroom shaped weights look pretty good.

I'm looking for the a buoy/float to mark a dive spot for when visibility and current do not allow staying on top of it by just looking down from the surface. A must feature is that it should hold line and be deployed automatically (spin) by just dropping the weight. A bonus feature is high visibility in choppy seas. I'm looking for an economical alternative but not so cheap as an empty plastic jug with cord wrapped around it. Here are a couple of things I found, I'd like to know of other options.

LOL agent provocateur!

Will do, thanks for the recommendation.

No Jim, it ain't funny. Would go down better without the dialog.

Lleve escopetas a Cuba tres veces sin problema. Un cyrano 970, despues un JBL (ligas) de 90cm y finalmente un Riffe C2X (ligas) junto con una rematadora de aire pequeña.

Marco, do you use two different knives for fish? One serrated to cut off fins etc. and another for filleting? I ask because I tried a serrated edge for filleting and didn't like it.

Ivan, your ingles is goood! I test the mask after the procedure in front of the mirror in my bathroom. I purposely blow into it and it is clearly visible which areas got treated and which didn't. I've owned 4 omer masks (one being the alien) in the last year and a half. All were cured easily with the treatment I described.

Depending on what you call bent, all shafts are bent including new ones. I think we'd all be surprised at the accuracy you can have with a visibly bent shaft. It also depends on how the bend runs. If it does one of these:

It's a shaft that was bent and improperly straightened leaving a bulge, it's exaggerated in this drawing. I think it will have little effect on accuracy. It will fit and be very usable in a Riffe open track gun but you couldn't even get it to go into an enclosed track gun. Just one example where one gun can handle a bent shaft and another can't.

Monster, I hate the Wong hybrids but there's not much to the ono gun other than wood and a trigger mech. If the trigger mech holds and the wood is straight then the gun should be configurable to shoot straight at a given distance. Try changing the handle, it's absolute crap.

No se, mi vida no es facil desde ese tiempo <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">

La unica vez que nade por donde esta la foto fue para ver que hay directamente debajo del precipicio, es bien bajito por alli. Encontre en el agua uno de esos potes de aluminio para cocinar. Estaba lleno the cosas de santeria, clavo de tren y otra mierda <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> Fue el fin del buceo asi que bote la mierda y me lleve el pote. Lo utilize pa'l perro.
