    Heavy duty ALL stainless steel 10.25" long Crimping Tool by Speardiver. Stainless steel tool head with stainless steel handles and red non-slip grips, with 4 positions to crimp wire and mono from 50 LB to 450 LB test. Includes a built-in side line cutter. Available from Freedive Store.com Speardiver ALL Stainless Steel Crimping Tool


    Note: Crimpers sold by our competitors containing Stainless Steel in the description are almost never completely made of stainless steel. Normally only the handles are stainless steel, this is most evident with crimpers that have a black color tool head. But even crimpers that have a steel colored tool head are most commonly not stainless steel. The Speardiver mono and wire crimper is ALL stainless steel, perfect for a professional crimping job at home or on the boat.

    Speardiver tip
    For best holding strength and durability crimp in two spots slightly back from each end of the crimp, so that the crimp edge doesn't dig into the mono and cut into it. Leave the middle un-crimped. When possible lightly melt the end of the mono with a lighter to form a glob, before pulling it to the crimp. This will lessen the possibility of the mono slipping through the crimp.



    Speardiver 1.5mm wetsuits in our best selling Reef camo pattern are the professional diver's choice for warm water diving. A true 1.5mm suit (1mm neoprene + .25mm Hyperstretch Lycra interior + .25mm Lycra exterior) it is ideal for warm tropical waters, providing complete environmental protection without overheating. Two piece construction with a beaver tail and two buckle closure, the hooded jacket and high waist pants are manufactured in high quality neoprene chosen for the ideal balance between stretch/softness and resistance to permanent compression. This neoprene combined with an anatomical wetsuit shape makes a Speardiver suit so comfortable you'll forget you're wearing a wetsuit.


    The Speardiver 1.5mm wetsuit exterior is lined with durable high stretch Lycra, to maintain comfort and protect the neoprene and diver from cuts that can be caused by contact with bottom structure. Lycra also allows the printing of our unique Reef camouflage pattern. Rubberized GRID patches provide extra protection in high wear areas like knees and elbows, without affecting the stretchiness of the suit. A 5mm thick stitched on chest pad made of Supertex offers speargun loading comfort. Available from Spearfishing Store Speardiver Reef 1.5mm Spearfishing Wetsuit

    Speardiver open cell spearfishing wetsuits in long sizes, offer skinny divers and divers with a long body type great fit and comfort, making unnecessary the expense and uncertainty of ordering a custom tailored suit. Speardiver suits are very stretchy to begin with, and many divers who can't find a suit to fit them from other manufacturers are comfortable in regular size Speardiver wetsuits S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL. The long sizes are specifically designed for divers with long torso and limbs, or thin divers. Typically with these body types, a regular size suit that will fit snugly around the torso and limbs creating a proper seal, will leave the sleeves and pant legs 2"-3" short. Long sizes are available in the Reef, Raptor and Pacific wetsuits .

    The Speardiver Stealth spearfishing GoPro mask features a quick detach GoPro mask mount. Unlike other GoPro mask setups, the Stealth GoPro mount is attached with a stainless steel Allen bolt, and comes with a stainless steel allen key which allows installation and removal of the mount in under a minute. Once tightened the GoPro mount grips the mask hard and there is no shifting between the mask and mount. The Stealth GoPro mask mount only weighs 0.2 ounces practically not increasing the weight of the mask. It can be left on the mask ready to use with a GoPro camera, or kept off the mask until needed. A retention nut is incorporated into the mount, all that's required to attach the GoPro is the housing thumb screw.


    The Speardiver Stealth is a low volume spearfishing and freediving mask. A minimalist approach was taken with its design, without compromising any of the details and functionality required from a freedive spearfishing mask. Extremely light weight at only 6 ounces (170g). The soft ample skirt provides an excellent seal with a wide range of face shapes. The skirt exterior is finished in a unique matte non reflective silicone. The frame above and below the lenses has a textured surface which allows a secure hold on the mask for flushing and repositioning, even with gloved hands. The Speardiver Stealth mask provides an excellent field of view in all directions. The mask strap length is adjusted by pressing two easily accessible push buttons. The mask strap is robust and stretchy.


    The Speardiver Stealth mask is available from Spearfishing Store Speardiver Stealth Spearfishing Mask




    The Speardiver Phantom speargun is available in lengths from 60cm to 120cm starting at $210.

    Description


    This is our favorite spearfishing flashlight. It has a durable aluminum casing that unlike plastic will not shatter if tossed around in a dive bag with other gear. The grip area is only 1" in diameter, this is a very compact easy to grip and store light. Other lights that appear similar are significantly thicker at 1.5" diameter. The recess in the middle allows for a more secure grip, and installment of a clip for attachment to a speargun. This light has a simple to use thumb operated sliding on/off switch, without any other settings to waste time cycling through. The switch is magnetic and hassle free waterproof. The energy saving LED light provides great illumination with a tight focused beam. The two CR batteries provide a longer burn time than flashlights using AAA batteries. There are many nice looking compact waterproof flashlights that are marketed for spearfishing, we found all to be lacking in one or more of these categories. You need look no further than this Speardiver flashlight.

    Automatic resetting line release; when the spear engages the trigger mechanism the line relase arm moves to the locked position. The Reverse Trigger Mechanism adds 5cm (2") of band stretch to your speargun in comparison with conventional trigger mechanisms. More band stretch means more power & more range, without increasing the length of the speargun. The extra band stretch is due to the shaft engaging the sear at the back end of the trigger mechanism instead of the front end as with conventional trigger mechanisms. Easy to install, just shape the speargun stock under the line release arm for it move freely.


    • US reverse trigger mechanism can hold a maximum pressure of 1200lbs with a trigger pull of 5.75lb. 1200lbs is equivalent to approximately 12 x 16mm bands. To maintain a safety margin of 50% this mech should be used with a maximum of 6 x 16mm bands.
    • Euro reverse trigger mechanism can hold a maximum pressure of 800lbs with a trigger pull of 5lb. 800lbs is equivalent to approximately 8 x 16mm bands. To maintain a safety margin of 50% this mech should be used with a maximum of 4 x 16mm bands.

    Total knife length: 8.46" (21.5cm)
    Handle length: 4.23" (10.5cm)
    Blade length: 4.33" (11cm)
    Blade thickness: 0.15" (3.8mm)
    Blade characteristics: Stainless steel, two serrated edges, Polished or Stealth (black teflon coated)
    Knife weight: 3.95oz (112g)



    Other characteristics:


    • High visibility handle, easy to distinguish against any color wetsuit when quick deployment is required.
    • Two serrated edges to eliminate the extra step of making sure the knife is turned correctly to cut mono, cable, or fish. The serrated edge easily cuts through 400lb mono and is capable of cutting through stainless steel cable.
    • The blade is very stiff, it can be used to chip away rock to retrieve a stuck shaft, without fear of bending the knife tip or breaking the blade.
    • The black coating on the blade eliminates reflection of the sun and minimized the chance of attracting predators such as barracuda to the flash.
    • Being stainless steel even if the coating is scratched the knife blade will not rust.
    • 3 ways of securing the knife in the sheath; Using the built in rubber loop that goes over the end of the handle, the loop is removable. Using the bungee to loop over the tip of the sheath. Or both.
    • We prefer removing the rubber loop and using the bungee, it's the most secure system. In case of emergency the bungee is stretchy enough to pull the knife out of the sheath by force without first unlooping the bungee. Still the knife will never fall out on its own. The bungee loop can be used to put your hand through when dealing with a strong fish to avoid dropping the knife if you lose your grip by accident.
    • Quick release plastic buckles with adjustable rubber straps.
    • Sheath can be calf, thigh, or belt mounted. If calf mounted make sure it's on the inside of the calf to reduce the possibility of entanglement with discarded fishing line.

    These are the current Speardiver wetsuit color patterns. In the following posts you may see some of our past patterns that are no longer made. Speardiver dropped certain color patterns over the years but the construction and proprietary neoprene used in our wetsuits remain unchanged . The one notable difference is the chest loading pad which is now longer downwards to accommodate different preferences for speargun loading position.

    Speardiver small hole speargun rubber tubing is available from FreediveStore.com, it's the highest quality rubber you will find. The tubing has a reduced inner diameter (ID) of 1/16" this means the hole is smaller than conventional speargun tubing. All other speargun band tubing comes with 1/8" inner diameter.


    Speardiver small hole rubber tubing next to conventional 1/8" ID tubing.





    Why this format was chosen


    • Quality speargun rubber tubing is made of Latex/natural rubber, which comes from the sap of the rubber tree. Latex in its natural color Amber is less resistant to sunlight. An outer layer of black dyed Latex adds UV protection and extends the life and performance of the band.
    • Cut a band after a day of spearfishing and you'll see water come out of the hole. The cycles of stretching and compression draw water into the band no matter how well you tie the wishbone, and it remains trapped there. Salt water damages the band from the inside, you can see this layer of deteriorated rubber immediately around the hole of a well used band. The small 1/16" hole significantly lessens water intrusion into the band, improving performance and increasing longevity.
    • Less hole equals more rubber at the same diameter, which equals more power without increasing the profile of your speargun.
