The problem is in your pencil point tip. Grind it to a sharp, more elongated point, and you will easily penetrate.

I would take the 30 minute plane ride from FL to Grand Bahama. MUCH less crowded than FL, and some of the best reefs in the world. No spear guns allowed, but hawaiian slings are permitted.

Try using a larger diameter band on your sling. You should improve the power greatly.

Curious as to what most do for above. I know when I use bow & arrow I close my right eye.

Anyone with information regarding same? Looking for freediving from beach to appx. 20" or so. Was diving off beach on south side of Island, but nothing but small fish.

I rigged a line on my sling. Worked, but I found that the liine caused drag which actually slowed the spear, so I reverted to free shafting - go figure. I will try again with a larger diamater rubber, maybe 1/2" and see if the added power compensates, I was using 3/8" rubber.

Do U freedive from shore or boat? I have been freediving from shore in Grand Bahama.

I see you are suing pole spear. I was just in Grand Bahama and seems most use hawaiian slings. Just curious as to whether you think pole spear more effective than H. sling?

Ever speared in Grand Bahama?

Which of these books is better for teaching breath holding?

Cutco "fisherman's friend." Unbelievable knife. Not cheap, but my go to knife. Worth the money.

Heading out there in March 2012. Wondering if anyone spears on Grand Bahama, and has any advice on best spots from beach.:D

New to thread. Freediver. Spend time in NJ and on Grand Bahama.
