Thanks David. Nice to know that second hand Speardiver wetsuits are holding their value.

The pissette is folded under the wetsuit jacket so it does not "protrude".
-
The twine is waxed so no need to spit. I tie a lot of bands, never had it cut through. Are you using a double or single constrictor knot?
-
I thought of offering pissettes, more for laughs and to draw attention than anything else. As I don't think American divers will embrace this feature. Plus it's not absolutely necessary, with a two piece suit it's easy enough to loosen the weight belt and pull up the jacket a bit to be able to drop the pants. Also most guys I know wear speedos under the suit. It's more essential for cold water divers who suffer from skin irritation from contact with urine.
Anyone who really thinks they could use a pissette please post here. If there's enough interest I'll make them available.

Nate's right, it was like a magic trick. Made me LOL and rewind it 3 times.
Very enjoyable compilation. I like the switching between diver action and serene sea life that you know is not going to get whacked. I thought it may have benefited from some some fade in/out transitions which are very easy to do with Pinnacle Studio 14.
Steven, Mark is using the hero3 black. What you may want to ask is what fps he was shooting for the slow mo segment.

Very nice review.
-
That's the conclusion I came to myself. That the resource has to deplete so badly that there will be no commercial fishing because it's simply not profitable enough. Because of this I'm hesitant to rehash these issues in the forum. It just gets you worked up and there's nothing you can do about it. I already don't eat store bought fish, but this is in the first place because they're nothing like what I catch myself.

Excellent vid, really explains the issue.
What can we do?

Don, I remember when Marco posted that vid a couple of years ago. It was on my mind when I started this thread. Knowing what I know now about using the neti pot, what this chick is doing with the syringe is ignorant, uncomfortable and risky. I was actually looking for that thread to link to this one and couldn't find it.

I could've lived another 100 years and would probably never realize on my own this is possible. I've previously inhaled sea water with my nose to force being able to equalize when having problems doing so due mucus and/or inflammation of the Eustachian tubes. But this flushing is so much more pleasant (after you get the hang of it) and more hygienic. I feel really clean and breathing easier after doing it. I can't tell you specifically what it cures, there's information about this online. I use it as needed, sometimes after a task that I felt put some unhealthy stuff up my nose. Certainly after a day of diving.
My neti pot is the cheap $5 one from Walgreens. There are different style ones, they're all basically like a little tea kettle without sharp edges that would hurt your nose. I'd like to upgrade to ceramic pot just for the hell of it, but it's more likely to break and the plastic one works fine. I use my filtered drinking water, heat 16 seconds in the microwave to get the water a little warm, and mix in the salt with a finger. At this point I'm familiar with the sensation and angle I have to tilt my head, I can get a nice stream going like the girl in the vid just not as easy on the eyes

It's simply amazing how those experts figured out that if you hyperventilate and hold your breath long enough you'll pass out. But I think the really bestest video on the subject is this one.

BTW briefly speaking with Erez via email, telling him about my exprience diving in Sharm el Sheik and asking about spearfishing regulations there, I got the feeling he's not pro spearfishing.

Hank, 63" is 160cm so that will work. But the RA shafts are for euro trigger mechanism. Your Wong uses US shafts no?
-
Depends on what overhang you like Hank. I prefer 13", some guys like the flopper to be right at the muzzle.
-
But hero3 batteries are cheap. You can have a bunch with you on the boat.
-
With some modification that radar arch can hold spearguns.
-
If you're willing to wait a week you can order from me. Let me know and I'll get them in stock.
-
I know what you mean about the non stop upgrades. But it's not a bad thing, in the case of the hero3 over a hero2 for example the added value is well worth it.
