Your throat gets a little dry from the salt air. I've felt it before, I wouldn't say it's a problem. I never thought it was worth mentioning or even realized it has a name until I saw this video. They're probably exaggerating the effect to use as a marketing ploy.

I tie bands between %300 and %400 elongation. The rubber works fine within this range. I wouldn't be able to pull the 19mm band to %400, it requires too much strength.

When I first saw this I thought the mouth piece has one way valves inside, so you inhale from one tube and exhale out the other. Turns out these are just simple tubes. What do you think of this snorkel? I like that the maker is thinking out of the box. But it doesn't seem like a practical design for serious underwater activity, like the monofin.

Here's the commercial version with valves.

It's just a marketing term, may have simply been good rubber. Taken literally it means the rubber is very stretchy. Of course there's a limit to how far you want to take that, I mean the balance between how much the rubber will stretch but still keep the stored energy over a period of time. These are the best bands you can buy today Speardiver Small Hole Speargun Band Rubber, they'll stretch as far as you can pull and keep power very well.

It's just a question of what's stronger, your killer instinct or fear of shit that could possibly happen. Even if a cuda were to do that to me I wouldn't stop hunting them. I suspect that like with sharks, it's your attitude that affects them. If you feel like the predator, they will feel like prey and will try to get away from you rather than attack you. My only concern is that on an escape run a cuda will by chance take a direction that will end up in a collision. But even that you can control with shot angle and line handling.
Another factor to consider is when there are a few divers in the water. If I'm alone I'm sure the fish will run away from me. If there are other divers there's a bigger chance the fish may perceive its way blocked and change direction in the last moment.
These were all taken going out of Haulover, Miami. Sometimes we see them so we take them. Up north in Port St. Lucie barracuda are so plentiful they're like a plague. You'd lose interest in shooting them pretty quick, because there's nothing to do with all that meat. Barracuda is not a sought after fish in the US. Too bad really because it's a fun fish to shoot, often a speardiver's first big fish, tastes alright, and targeting barracuda takes hunting pressure off other fish.

Come on John, the picture of the cut off finger alone should be enough to make the sale <img src= " srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23">

What ever happened to just breathing through your nose?
A skill that may come in very handy.

Good luck with the sale Ronny. I hope you're not divesting from spearfishing completely, and we'll see you back some day.

I've been at the dead sea, salt on the beach instead of sand.

I don't think you need a long size. A 3XL should fit you.
I'll have the sizing chart for the long suits sorted out shortly.
Oscar, I will have your vest this week.
