there is no doubt that a big AJ could and would pull a diver down without proper floats and bungee to help tire it out...the things that are odd to me are that
1. let go, I can't imagine getting pulled down by something I was holding onto without really wanting to hold on to it, I feel like the reflex is to let go.
2. how would his fin have been taken off. that would take a serious impact to knock someone out of their fins...I guess they could have been too big for him ??

Do you know if he was using a reel? maybe he got tangled?

I can imagine an AJ pulling someone down 115ft and then slaming them into rock or reef hard enough to take a fin off.

any more details about what he was wearing (gear ) his diving experience, gun ?

hahaha, that thing looks kind of awesome...you might have to give it a serious look over and make the leap

nice marco, looks like a good time.. its good to bring kids up with some nature in their lives,, cheetos and video games 24/7 is no way to grow up

that is horrible to hear, I am deeply saddened to hear of this....

any sharks around? seems odd to lose a fin

Quote from Marco

Actually I spent two days at La PArguera and had the chance to take a dive with my kids. It was awsome. They saw my friend Fernando and myself in action (more Fernando actually), they saw some fat muttons, a nurse shark, a school of jacks, a carey turtle and much more. Water was cristal clear and almost no current. It was my little boy's birthday and they had a blast. The oldest got 8 triggerfish on H$L and I cooked them for the kids. Perfect family trip.

it really does sound like a perfect trip...that is a good memory, I'm sure

that is one of the coolest things that I have ever seen. end of story.

such beautiful creatures, how did they figure out they could do that?

I would love to hear what that sounds like, both being in the water and with a supersonic mic. i bet it is CRAZY

120cm Rob Allen w 160 cm Rob Allen Shaft- 2 5/8" bands, girl length, single wrap of spectra

120cm Tito gun w 140cm Rob Allen shaft- 1 20mm band (normal length) single wrap of spectra [this gun is rarely used and one day will become a 110cm stock]

wow, awesome, genius

wow. that sounds awesome Attan, I am excited for you..it is a great feeling to dive and then dive again in your dreams <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

no sir, no they should not...

Rest Well.

tight...very cool

HA! well said!

I might change it to, "...especially after being caught!"

sounds delicious

Dan, I can't edit the first post, will you please put the video there as well? thanks <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

It's not reasonable to have to get in the water to anchor a boat. It's heavier than a kayak.

i figured that was the case, I am just having a tough time understanding how exactly you got it to work, you'll just have to show me one day when I join you on the RIB...have you decided on a name yet? I know that is not your strength

howdy Searen, welcome aboard.

where abouts in NC do you hail from?

EDIT

I fixed the video, it is there now...I also added it to the first post.

I still hate youtube

not so fast, it is still not showing up...:frustrated2:....EDIT again....now it works

Steven, the above quote is amazing...your words or someone else's?

I enjoyed this quote a lot, made me think of Aaron P

"A gun gives you the body, not the bird." -Henry David Thoreau, naturalist and author (1817-1862)

okay, here is a sample dive video from the first day out w the GoPro...it was dicey viz, maybe 25ft at best, but hazy..to see the focus issue, look at my hand on the gun and you can see how blurry it is
