hmm hau, i suspect you are right.. at those depths and with no visible relief it seems unlikely they would be either snapper or grouper.
I am going to try for some blue water this weekend with dave suarez. if the weather keeps us shallow i will be down for meade on either weekend day
shame...i wonder if there is any structure there at all...have you looked at the charts yet buddy, is there anything to find?
what a steal!!!awesome
awesome...yay Tut!!!
a dram to his health
awesome jorge...glad you had a happy ending
with all these Ricans on this forum, I really need to get my ass down there and do some diving....anyone know what the price of travel is to get to PR?
dont feel bad at all man...when I got my euro gun and took it out in the water it took me literally 7 minutes to load it and i was seeing stars...I had to swim around for like 30 minutes to get my o2 back up...now i can sling that 20mm band like it aint shit...it is ALL technique
A biller 54 floridian was my first gun...very easy to load in my opinion
nowhere near enough info to make any conclusions there, but from what IS there, sounds like he shot wayy too big of a shark for no reason?!?!
aren't carib reefies not too aggressive ? i thought only the white tip reefies were?
howdy
howdy friend...this is a great forum with a great group of spearos of all degrees of seasoning.
see you around
wow, those pics are incredible...simply beautiful.
i love the face shot of the turtle..they have such expressive faces
i used number 8 yesterday for a little recreational snorkeling off key biscayne. my first impression is that this snorkel is garbage. i could not find a comfortable angle for this to rest on either side of my face. the entire mouth area is very soft rubber and would crush and collapse often. I believe the purge valve leaked but that might have been from the mouth area deforming on every breath.
this will be the last snorkel i use or lend out...but i was anticipating it would be the worst too. it is clearly lacking a fram for the rubber and i thought that might make for a streamlined snorkel..nope. fail.
more on the other straight tubes later..i have much higher hopes for them
Thanks for the kind words Hau. I'm glad that you're happy with it. Now, let's see some fish pics!
FOR REAL!!!!!
Dan you raise a VERY VERY important point about the bike..I was mistakenly considering it about an individual's preference, but you are correct, the reality is we are rarely cruising around as spearos..it is stop and go and I completely agree that the initial acceleration is the most important part to a spearo.
I got my 3 snorkel (thanks Dan) and I will be posting some feedback about their size, shape and performance as soon as testing can be done
i should clarify, i do not think that Dan is suggesting that there is a "perfect fin" I was just stating that against the notion that one fin could work for everyone. Sure it could but in the same way a Mac works for everyone. there might be a better fit for some individuals, but it is pretty damn perfect for most of the consumers.
fuzz raises an interesting point. are there stiffer combinations that yeild different feedback response? as in, a more difficult initial kick, but better energy transfer? It would seem that this would be as hard to pick one correct setup as it would to pick one ideal fishing rod.
It seems to me that factors such as the style of diving, how you prefer to kick\fin, whether the diver prefers to have more power in the beginning of the kick or more comfort throughout the entire kick.
seems like there might be an ideal [I]base[I] but the actual "perfect fin"might be an impossible goal to chase
we'd love to have you...just not sure you want to be here 
Dan is that the mech from your gun?..looks nice
what kind of material is in the beuchat mundial handle? should I be worried about my Tito gun?
