MIAMI - A man in Miami Beach said he was lucky to walk out of the hospital after being bitten by a shark https://www.fox35orlando.com/n…florida-beach-video-shows

What material did you use for the grip?

How do you prefer your spearfishing rashguard, with a hood or without?

To get less water in the snorkel I attach it to the mask strap in such a way that it points directly up when I'm face down in the water. I see everyone attaching the snorkel on the mask strap right behind the ear if not even over it. The snorkel ends up pointing forward, which makes it lower, and the snorkel opening pointed at head on waves. I attach my snorkel at the mask strap split on the lower strip. and make sure the snorkel is perfectly vertical when I'm looking down. I guess head shape will dictate to some degree where ideal placement is for different divers. Generally I see divers not pay attention to this detail and their snorkel is not positioned straight up.
All the snorkels you'll ever need

Welcome to the forum. It would help to know where you're diving to answer your questions.
First thing you need to know is that when we're talking wetsuits and spearfishing it's always about open cell wetsuits. Double lined scuba suits for our purposes are obsolete.
Here are some general guidelines for open cell wetsuits. Keep in mind that people are different when it comes to experiencing cold. It depends on what you’re acclimated to and your physical constitution.
1. Rashguard - 80° F (26° C) and up
2. 1.5mm double lined suit - 77° F (25° C) to 80° F (26° C)
3. 3mm open cell suit - 71° F (22° C) to 77° F (25° C)
4. 5mm open cell suit - 59° F (15° C) to 71° F (22° C)
5. 7mm open cell suit - 45° F (7° C) to 59° F (15° C)
6. 9mm open cell suit - 33° F (1° C) to 45° F (7° C)
When unsure which wetsuit to get consider that you’ll always be able to use the thinner suit at some point. So if it’s really close between a 5mm and a 7mm, I would start with a 5mm because it’s a good investment no matter what.

This thread will answer some of your questions Bought a Maco2 CO2 speargun
I think this speargun is no longer being made. If you find where to buy it please post the information here.
-
What do you mean by too powerful?
-
The Aqua/Gull super bullet is a $60 snorkel.
-
Might as well make the most of it
-
Great info. Did the glued parts hold?
I know the company that makes them showed Freedom 7 to be out of stock for the last month, someone is buying them.
The Shark Shield Freedom7 is available here in Fort Lauderdale from Spearfishing Store - Shark Shield Freedom7

Best of reasons indeed.

Good to see you back, and sharing your catch. From what I've seen the last few months many guys found their way back to spearfishing. Not saying you weren't active in the last few years, I don't know, but many weren't. I believe the strange times we're passing now have made many slow down, get their head out of the rat race, and remember the truly good things in life like diving.

Curious to see how the synthetic rubber/glue/epoxy/carbon bond holds together over time. That's a lot of resistance pushing that long whip around.

Can't rely on the shamrock alone
Nice rigging. I hope you don't need it.The Sharkshield is supposed to be the only shark deterrent that actually works. I laugh when I hear about the useless magnetic bracelets people are buying.
I always carry two of these power heads. They work %100, but granted only if you see the shark first.

An interesting video, thanks. More accurately captures the ups and downs of bluewater spearfishing.
-
Tested a new Speardiver Stealth Carbon speargun with cuttlefish tube. Was accurate with it from the first shot. Also found a fishing rod with a Penn reel and a lobster snare/gauge/clip.
-
Square shafts why not
-
Maybe 30ft..

Need more input.
