  • Shark Bite

    this video is nice for all of us to see just how much a shark will tell you before it takes a bite out of you...this asshat was stupid so we all can learn <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • GoPro HD Underwater Blurry Fix

    I know that I suck, but weather and shallow diving ability have kept this camera above 38ft underwater...37.5 was no problem for the case filled with tissues, so that is a resounding endorsment for 1 atm of pressure.

  • Best wood for spearfishing float?

    what are some of the things you want the wood and the float to do?


    balsa is extremely light and has long been used for floating fishing lures/plugs but it is not that strong..if the float is epoxied and foam filled, i suspect it would be fine.



    here is a table i found of the densities of various woods

  • Broward Beach Conditions

    i personally have a mutton curse, so this doesn't apply, but i find many of my best fish hanging out under my kayak after i scale my catch...the scales slowly drifting in the current seems to bring in a lot of hungry and curious fishies

  • Safetys on Spearguns

    your finger is the safety.



    i completely agree with all of Dan's post...no such thing as a 'safe' safety on a spear gun short of a small pin that passes completely through the shaft preventing it from moving at all..this is impractical, weakens the shaft and is also subject to failure
