We have a few members from Hawaii. But for this question you may have better luck on HSD.

When I would install in Pathos foot pockets I used a row of glue dots rather than a line, which allows relatively easy removal. In this case you can use a chisel (no hammer) to wedge between the rubber and blade and pry them apart carefully wherever they appear to be bonded.

If you applied more glue than that you'll probably have to cut the foot pocket off with a box cutter. Then remove the residue as best you can by slicing it close to the blade without catching the carbon. Then finish with sanding and acetone.

Did I do the installation?

Of course! Now that hau moved away I'm looking for someone to represent Speardiver for the :old: But then you have to stop saying spetton.. except if you mean little barracuda <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

The Reef camo pattern. Price is $185 and the 1.5mm suits are now available Speardiver Reef 1.5mm Spearfishing Wetsuit

Yes see the women's wetsuits here https://www.spearfishing.store/38-spearfishing-wetsuit. Also some of the regular sizes will fit women if they're not too busty.

No, the one that was sitting on the step. You waited a long while to shoot, looked over to the left down from the step before finally taking the shot. It looked like you were really close to begin with and not really looking to get closer, so I couldn't figure out why you waited. The first fish that I think was the same species took off in a hurry, I figured you couldn't be so sure of him just staying there.

How do you like the Gopro on the mask?

Nice vis, good diving, awesome scenery, great vid thanks for sharing.

Why did you wait so long to take the shot on the 2nd fish?

Beautiful gun and gesture.

I'm glad you like the gun. The dark parts of the stock are stained. If the holes on the trigger guard plate don't line up with your particular reel, you can use one of them and drill through the plate for the other. The threaded insert in front of the trigger guard plate is for a Gopro mount that's made specifically for this gun.

Beautiful mackerel, nice shot.

if Nate was on the surface for 4 seconds before he started to sink...... That just makes this all the more tragic.

Exactly. I had a strong reaction when I was told that.

If we are to accept Andrew's interpretation of the video, then Nate did not go peacefully. Knowing you're in trouble and sprinting to the surface is a bad spot to be in. While I've been there myself, I never felt the fear of knowing I won't make overwhelm me, I can only imagine it makes things worse (albeit for a very short time) and not unlike being entangled. The blackout certainly did not come on gently and unsuspected, which in my ignorance I originally thought or hoped. In a morbid way this is a comfort to those who fear a blackout can catch them at any moment unawares.

I'd want to know how it was ascertained Nate had a terrible breathup. How much time he spent on the bottom waiting or following the grouper if at all. Approximately how far off the bottom he got before he went back down. What losing air and having contractions means exactly. And what was the total time from the start of the dive to breaching the surface.

Yep it's all television trying to f**k with your mind to make a buck. I don't have cable for 10 years now. I just pay for high speed internet and Netflix streaming. I download the few good shows that aren't on Netflix.

Some closure.

Quote from Andrewk

After discussing things with nate's family, I can share the info that developed.

Last week nates camera that he was wearing on his fatal dive was returned to me by miami dade police.

I went over the footage and to put it bluntly, he had a terrible breathup and dove down to a little over 50 feet, shot a grouper (the same grouper I found floating on the surface that day) and went to swim up when the shaft fell out. He dove back down to grab the grouper and starting losing air and having contractions at just under 50 feet, sprinted to the surface and made it all the way up to the surface. he either blacked out just before surfacing or right after and his head was out of the water for 4 seconds. afterwards he sank back down to the bottom.

The video was hard to watch but it gave me the closure alot of us needed and told us what went wrong. This video wont make its way onto the internet in any way shape or

I appreciate the support from everyone here. itll be 2 months tomorrow that nates been gone.

As you can see in the pictures the filters from FreediveStore.com have a lanyard attachment point, and a lanyard is included.

Great shot and great shots. Look at that shaft bend, and the length of the mutton relative to the shaft, it had to be big. Too bad you lost it.

Red is the right filter to use. IMO the red filter is more suitable for scuba divers who stay at depth filming for longer periods of time. %30 of my footage would be topside and at the surface, and I don't like how that looks with the red filter see vid below. The shallow parts are tinted pink and out of the water are washed out with red. The filter is good quality and does its job at depth.

A little vid from last weekend. No special fish are shot, it's just nice to watch Sergio dive he has a smooth style. Among others he shot a few lion fish, they were chunky and produced good fillets. I may have to start shooting them myself. I got a 13lb grouper and Sergio got his twin.
