Carbon steel shafts are extremely hard and require a special carbide drill bit. This kind of bit is expensive, somewhat hard to find, and very brittle. It can be used with the jig but you must be very careful and keep the jig/shaft well aligned directly under the drill press so as not to stress the bit sideways, otherwise it may break inside the jig.

Like I said drilling a carbon steel shaft for flopper hole is pointless as the hole will rust and then the flopper will no longer move smoothly. A rusty hole for your application may not matter, I don't know. Speardiver carbon steel shafts are in the works, I may add that extra hole. What is the exact position you want it? 1" ahead of the forward most loading notch?

Marco, I don't understand what happened. Didn't look like you lost the line, so why did you lose the spear/fish?

What weight would you put on that Wahoo?

There are no carbon steel/coated shafts with that staggered barb configuration that I know of. You can easily drill a stainless steel shaft and add a barb with this jig FreediveStore.com - peardiver Spear Shaft Drilling Jig. You can't drill a carbon steel shaft because it will rust at the hole.

Still waiting on M-L in 7mm.

Size Medium-Long in 7mm is now available https://spearfishing.store/spe…hin-spearfishing-wetsuits

Why should it be different from this one Speardiver Reel Mounting Base? Unless they want a clamp on style reel base, but why would anyone prefer such a bulky contraption?

Peto frito haha

Thanks Marco.

Why? We all have powerheads. In any case there was enough time to cut the shooting line.

Nice cubera and pic. What did it weigh? It looks like a big one but then you wouldn't be able to hold it out like that. I must admit this pic has me stumped.

How far?

I don't know the diver but I'm pretty sure I know what he was feeling

Jimmy Roseman of West Melbourne, FL has an encounter with a Great White Shark off of the coast of Florida at Bethel Shoals.

It's not a tournament to my knowledge and I didn't participate. I hope one day to dive with Mikhail, he's a good spearfisherman and has a talent for putting together a video. I just saw one of his vids diving right here in Fort Lauderale, with a big blue fin tuna. Of course he didn't shoot it. I think seeing a fish like that here diving is amazing. I hope he uploads this video.

You're on the right track Judah. When shipping with UPS for example, you can provide two values for the goods; one for UPS insurance, and one for customs. Customs does not see the value for UPS insurance.

I have to disagree with the above. Whoever sent you the muzzle didn't know what they were doing. Next time you need spearfishing gear contact me through FreediveStore.com, I'll make sure you pay the lowest shipping cost and no customs fees.

Marco, try contacting Aeris support http://www.diveaeris.com/about/contact-us/ or hello@oceanicusa.com[/email]. They'll probably ask you to send the watch in but it's worth a shot.

Welcome to Speardiver. Great into. Kudos to you and ladiver.

If you're asking about a Speardiver open cell wetsuit.. Put the suit and hood on. Have someone draw a line with a marker just under your jaw line. Cut along that line with very sharp scissors. The suit stretches when you put it on and this procedure will make sure you don't cut too low. Put the suit back on, or even dive with it once to see how it feels. If the collar folds and you find that uncomfortable, draw another line 1/2" under your last cut, and cut that. Keep trying and cutting until you get it how you like it. When you're sure about the length, burn the open threads where you cut across the stitching, and flatten them. You can also dab a little liquid tape on the stitching at the cut point to prevent the threads from unraveling further. I followed this procedure and the suit holds up perfectly.

I thoroughly enjoyed your report. Nice pics too, the cabezon lends itself very nicely to that pose

Which speargun were you using?

There isn't an override. As Terry says you set it when you're smart before you dive, when you see a big fish you can become a little stupid, so lack of an override removes this temptation.
