the notion that sealions can attach leg shackles is mind blowing...that article was very cool.
dolphins impress the shit out of me
I have watched this link many times wo sound, so Ihave know idea if there even is any, but Ifind it amazing to watch these wild dolphins play with these freedivers...amazing
yeah,I warned him too....
it amounts largely to a difference in philosphy...I for example like to appear large, I am a big person so being small and invisible is hard, so I play to my strength. Hau likes to minimize his profile underwater and clealry fins add 2 + ft to your size.
personally I feel more comfortable with the extra 90cm of carbon on my 6 
plus, I find CF find to suit my finning style very very well and I wont be diving in anything else if I can avoid it....clear carbon fiber, now maybe we can have a discussion :@
hatteras you are a tough son-of-a-gun to be doing that in 5ft vis....
very cool, dolphins are so smart
Display MoreHahhahahah, Sdeisen, thank you.
Lunker, I love English, although I am not very good at it
Ok rerailing Those KW are absolute badass orcinus orca means litteraly demon from hell in latin. Orcinus = Hell Orca- orco = demon= Badass
I too am a big fan of Irony
KWs are badass, and that is really cool about their name.
not to be a picky linguist...... alliteration is a rhetorical device, like hyperbole(exaggeration) or consonance (rhyming consonants) or assonance (rhyming vowels) , a figure of speech is an idiomatic expression that means something other to the listener than what the literal definition of the words is (there are many types, like over 100) as in "he is a mutherf*cker" you aren't really saying he copulates with moms, but rather is a real jerk.
I apologize for the derail and the correction....I hate english
very interesting Dan.
x2 buddy, well said..
as a wiser man than I once said, and thousands of other wiser men than I have repeated...."it's not the arrow, it is the archer"
I never complain about any of my dive gear, Istill love my first yellow FG polespear, and I can still fill a cooler with it, I do however like to make things better s o iscrutinize my gear to reach it's potential...sounds like complaining, but really Im innovating haha
hey now, Perrogies are amazing...I'm a part pole (explains a lot, I know) and I love me some peasant food.
mmmmm cabbage perrogies...drooool
Hau, you are an inspiration,oh the sacrifices you make for us, thanks brother
just imagine the horro these animal must feel...to have literally supersonic hearing and spend your life in an accoustic box surrounded by asshat tourists... I love visiting aquariums but Iwould support that effort too Dan...these animals should not be in captivity for our amusement...maybe for research, but that is a big maybe.
what about the tension where a facility saves an animal that is hurt or weak and keeps it to sustain it's life..or when the tourist dollars pay for valuable marine protection services.sorry as a lawyer I'm always thinking about the best arguments for and against...just devil's advocate
you can, but you have to flip it over and get in upside down underwater..it is very difficult to learn, but once you know how it is easy...not conducive to dive activities....
Dan did you ever see this?

I love the idea, might not quite do what those aussie things do, but pretty cool nonetheless
hahaha, is that roan atkinson (mr bean)?
the tension is about too biog and too much drag vs too small and not enoug hroom for gear or bouyancy to fight fish...I actually think the super small yaks are the way to go, esp if you rig them so you don't need to be in them at all, but could if you wanted to(no seat, breakdown paddle stowed inside,etc.)
steve, you are hilarious!!!
Don, nice shorts:)
...and Catalina has always been a dream destination of mine...a couple of buddies and I have always fantasized about rigging a few yaks w downwind sails and kayaking out there for a week of camping and taking the ferry back...shame I live about 1534 miles away from the launch
GR, do you like that coil line as a shooting line... I started using one like that but felt it was robbing the shaft of a lot of power...I am sure you know what you are doing with that monster, so I had to ask
ask Greekdiver
also, some reading:

x2 on the 120 Rob allen..
I have seen Greek do some serious damage to fish with his pneumatic, so I know they are legit, I just like less moving parts and easy repairs
100 is a great reef gun but will leave you too short at times and very very shrt on any blue water you do..a 110 is really the king on our reefs as it moves easily and still has good range but it is inadequate for almost all blue water fish(mahi will still swim up to you)...a 120 is perhaps a bit too long for some reef hunting(i very rarely wish i had a shorter gun to wedge it into crevices and such), but it can still deliver good power at range to land kings or possibly Wahoo with good hunting techniques and can serve you well enough in most blue water applications (i have even seen vids of tuna on what looked like 120 pipe guns)....i think 130 is too long for the reef here, but ask hau as he hunted w one for a while and might have different opinions.
remember that the name of the game is compromise and there is no one gun that does everything...i consider my 120 RA to be a very versatile hunter that works in most of our dive conditions
oh nice..you were out on dave S's boat...i need to give him a call, haven't dove with him in a while
hha, nice idea. I have shot a friend's and as far as I know the stock handle..I found it to be a superior weapon and found the handle very comfortable..
