whoa, that sounds intense to put it lightly...it is very cool set of skills you are gaining and I know that I, for one, would dive easier knowing you were with me.
stay focused and finish well, the fish will still be there for you to kill after.
how is the little one doing? Robbing you of all your sleep?
Ben I spoke w my boss and i can take friday off so let me know if is still looks good for you and we'll go get some more <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
yikes !! loaded tuna cannons above water:@
I trust another spearo's judgment for themselves, for me, there is no reason, but then again I am shooting a gun w two bands and it is a lot easier for me to reload...just be careful buddy
thanks Chris...that looks freaking incredible!! i really appriciate the info :notworthy3:
I cannot wait to get another bonito shot <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
i used to have this issue a lot when doing glassing for car stereos...it is wicked hot here in MIa and especially in a garage. I would have to use a little less of the activator because it would reach the curing temp way before i got to soak the glass.
this doesnt directly apply, but be sure to consider that it is hotter here than most of the instructions will contemplate and you might have to adjust amounts or time to accomodate
wow, bonito has mad fans..i am really excitied to get another shot at one <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> thanks guys
Hey but can't you guys out in Florida use tickle sticks? Should be much easier out there. Just got to find a spot that's holding and keep poking em' till they jump in your bag.
it is much easier..this is not something i am proud of 
i will say this, they are quite fast and they dont give you any clue which way they are going
pretty brillain little move there.
the tape really stops the ring?!?!:@
how often does it need to be replaced?
what do you think is the source of the air in the leak?
very clever...i was trying to use the boat's swim ladder and actually smacked myself in the face on the swim step...fortunately it was NOT recording hahahaha
i also thought about another mask, but a small signaling mirror is a great idea
one thing that occured to me was that you actually wouldnt get any air out of the tube...if the other end is still sealed you will not be able to pull any of that air at all. you'd need a small tank w a reg to get what you are describing, but that comes with all the risks of compressed air
review- I tried the bandit/ gopro combo this weekend and will give it a B rating.
The frame on the bandit is smaller than Dan's mask and the camera is visible in the top of my vision, the hand adjusting screw is the worst offender. but it was easily ignored.
the feel of the camera was not significant, but I did notice it, especially on ascent. This makes sense as ascending is the fastest I would be moving...I found it actually helped to remind me to keep my chin tucked which is better form anyways, so that is not a negative.
i was a little bothered by not being able to be certain I had started or stopped the video, it is unaudible underwater, and fairly easy to hear above water, but you have to get your ears out of the water and clear of water to hear it.
I imagine the larger mask frame fixes both of my issues, both hiding the camera better and better dispersing it's physics, but if you have a Bandit and a GoPro, it certainly can get the job done
I imagine the feeling of the water pushing or pulling on the mask is there with a headstrap mount, but without the concern that it could pull the mask off your face. This did not happen so my concerns were purely conjecture, but I did think about it.
one note, to be fair. I was diving deeper than I usually do (40 - 60ft, i didn't get deepr than 54 cos my vagine was stopping me ) and so my mind was nervous, or at least on high alert. I feel this might have added to my criticism of the rig. I know that I felt a lot better slipping the micromask back on, but that might have just been a familiarity thing.
also, nice gun racks...very creative little DIY right there
excellent Deadly, excellent.
YFT is very high on my lifetime list of things to shoot <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
classy little snapper too
i would like to know too. when i hear about this though I just imagine a scenario where you are making mutliple dives with no real surface interval and trick yourself with the depth into beleieving that you aren't building an o2 debt 
so sad
well damn!!! sounds like I blew it <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
it was a less than ideal shooting moment though, I was upside down on decent and there was a 15ft murk layer on the top, he was right under that...so I broke through the murk and saw him bolt by, I twisted to keep him in my view and lined up a shot, kind of upside down and half tucked...i followed his erratic moves for a second and thought "i don't think people even eat bonito, I don't want to shoot this just for fun, and like that, opportunity closed the door hahaha
rather than feel like an ass, I'll just maintain that I couldnt have gotten a good shot off 
sweet, glad your recon paid off.
I also am in awe of that dino crustacian in your right hand :@
I saw my first bonito in the wate rthis weekend and passed on the shot cos I have always heard they were not to be eaten...could you post a thread with this recipe for Bonito Poke please? you sounds quite excited about it so I'm sure it is tasty <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
SICK...and great report as always.
especially to me, a lobster retard exraordinaire...seriously, I suck..but I'm getting better
I read Dons post to mean it would tell him which end was out and that he could cut it to ditch it if need be. I think one of us mis read it hhaha.
To deal with you interpretation... I dont think you'd get much, but even sucking my mask on ascent makes my mind feel better
I would wonder how much air would even be in the tube at depth?
