Noisy as hell though, and smokes too. Kinda goes against the "zen" of spearfishing. Maybe a battery powered one would work better. Looks like in days gone by it was popular enough to make this contraption.

Here we go.. looks like fun. I question what will happen if it tips over and that intake tube catches some water, for $800 I'm not going to find out. Looks like this scooter has been around for many years.

Here's more info. Being gas powered it obviously can't be submerged like the electric scooters. But I don't want to use it to dive, only to get to spots and back to the launching point. In the video they state 15 miles on one tank of fuel. I'd like to see how it performs in chop.

He doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

I couldn't find any footage of this thing actually being used. Do you think it will work?

It's easier to insert the band through a tight muzzle hole, the band ends stack more compact on the speargun when stretched, and they look nicer/better finished.

Nah, much easier with a bench grinder.

Great story Justin, really enjoyed it. Congrats on the Moooo

My heart goes out to you guys having to deal with the tree huggers.

How come the water is so flat?

What don't you like about the mask mounted gopro?

That knife looks too wide to turn/scramble.

Very nice George. Are those yellowtail or big rainbow runners?

Nice video Phillipe, beautiful clean water.

Welcome to Speardiver.

I guess you didn't watch it

My perception of the world is forever changed.

Nice fish, nice shot placement, nice pic!

How do you keep your hair so neat right after diving?

Try a 7.5 shaft if you have one. More mass being thrown might reduce the kick.

It's the opposite.

Stock is 2 x 16mm. I'd check the shaft for straight, check the flopper. Make sure the two bands have no more than %300 elongation. Then once everything is dialed in and shooting correctly, I throw away that POS and get a real gun.

I used to shoot parrot fish in Cuba when I started spearfishing, for lack of anything else. If I remember right they spoil rather quickly and the texture leaves something to be desired. Does the Midnight parrotfish really taste any different? Before I knew anything I was adamant about the red ones being the best eating, and would target them exclusively. Later I found out they're just the juvenile stage of the Stoplight parrot fish :dumb:

Now I feel better about parrot fish being illegal to spear in south Florida. I thought there was no good reason for it.
