What a brute. When are you making ceviche for the forum? If you need it smoked I got you covered....for a small fee of some fish

Quote from Treebilly3

I can't say contractions are always a sign of needing to breathe. I've had them early in a dive pushed on and felt fine after, also not till just before I break surface and feel like I was lucky to make it.
For me it's when I feel any discomfort or a contraction that is uncomfortable to let me know its time to surface.

I completely agree. The essence of safe diving is to learn your body's signals. If you don't know how you feel when you dive then you don't know how you feel when something is wrong.
Learn your body and listen to it.

Wow!!! Just wow!! That is insane. Given the shape and fins on a cobia I would have thought that was a bull shark most likely

This thread is three and a half years old?!? Haha.

Larry hasn't posted a lot in recent times. He might not see your post

Also, who hates Hau for being able to PADDLE to 200' in 10 minutes!!! You lucky jerk

Depends on the type of gun. A long euro being held by the handle will stick out a few feet in front of the diver. A mid handle will be completely hidden by the diver. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I usually either hold the middle of the gun and sort of toss it in to my hands when I get to the bottom or do what Marco describes

Tostones are amazing. When fresh and cooked right

Make sure you get one with a bright screen or one that I'd made to be read in direct sunlight. More boat units are not super glare friendly because they assume there will be some cover

Very interested to see what people have to say about this.

A few questions that might help to get better answers.

How deep is it where you will be spearing?
Is your goal to locate structure on the bottom or to be able to see schools of bait or fish?
Do you want to have your progress tracked like a chart plotter and do you want to be able to save spots or just use this to find fish?

Will do

I like to mix in all types of citrus

Very good words hank.

I am big fan of Peruvian ceviche. I have just pulled my inspirations from a few cultures and added my own twists and cut a few corners hahaha. I honestly make it a little different each time to experiment

I agree with Dan. If I get to the point of contractions I am going to surface or will very soon. I do not believe I have ever stayed down until a third set of contractions. Usually I surface after one

To me, I know that I can hold my breath a while but it depends on rest, breathe up, hydration and many other factors. When my body is telling me I need air, I generally listen

Thought I'd bump this thread for a little photo essay

Epic shots buddy!!

I was thinking the same thing. Although with better vis that wise old snapper has a better chance of escaping

No filter. The tg2 just has great white balance. I was actually using the wrong settings most of the day
