I'll echo Joe's sentiments. I've never tried Speardiver fins, but I'm on my third pair of C4's, and I've loved all of them.

Just got the footpockets and snorkel that I ordered from Dan. He'd probably tell you that I've been a PITA to deal with as far as buying fins and footpockets, but he's been nothing but patient, and got me exactly what he described.

Got a set of OMER Millenium footpockets, and they are soft to medium stiffness, just as he said they would be. No one else will give you the guarantee of the rubber stiffness on these pockets. No one. They are exactly what I wanted, and the Speardiver snorkel is great, too. Super comfortable small mouthpiece, and nice and flexible, without being too "floppy", for lack of a better word.

Thanks again, Dan! :thumbsup2:

Amazing!!! Every gun you make is better than the last, although I have no idea how you'd top that one...

Amazing!!! The detail in that gun is unreal!

For what it's worth, my mother-in-law used it on our drift dives yesterday and loved it.

Bought this mask a while ago, and it's never quite fit me right. Still in near new shape. Only worn twice, and I get a lot of leakage from the upper lip, probably because of my big Polish nose.

Looking for $50, I'll take care of the shipping, or I really need a square notch shaft, preferrably 9/32" and hawaiian flopper, about 140cm(for a 110). Thanks, guys.

I don't know anything about the HST's, but from what I've read about the Trygons, they're supposed to be very light and very, very responsive. Might definitely be worth a look.

Cause he gives me some pretty serious wood! The story behind this gun is that I have visited Phil a few times from Georgia in the last year, and every time I went in his garage, he had this blank hanging up in the corner, collecting dust. I asked him about it and he said "I didn't like the way it came out. The grain is a little off, and I just kinda forgot about it." So I asked him to throw it together as a cheap beater gun. Yes, this is a Herranen beater gun. It measures out to just about 110 cm, is made from paduk and I think teak, but Phil will know better than I do, will shoot a 7mm shaft with 2 9/16" bands. The handle is Phil's new molded epoxy design, which removes with a single screw for travel. And since I asked nice enough, he threw some glow in the dark powder in the clear epoxy of the handle, so I can find the gun, when all the small fish I shoot drag the gun back into a cave. When I have a chance to shoot it(hopefully before I deploy in September), I'll let you guys know how it handles. This is my second gun from Phil, and they've both been superb. I couldn't see shooting anything else now. Enjoy, I know I'm gonna!

Dan, just thought that you should know that FII just posted on Facebook earlier this morning about having a quality wetsuit, and Pursuit was on their list of brands that they recommended. Pretty awesome piece of advertising if you ask me!

FII (Freediving Instructors International)
Whats the single most important piece of equipment? A high quality wetsuit! We highly recommend a open cell inner/high stretch nylon outer 2 piece such as the FIT 45, Yazbeck, Pursuit, Beuchat Prestige, Omer or Elios.

Those are the first generation Falcons with the T300 weave. The new ones with the T700 have a different C4 logo sticker on them.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I have my daughter for most of July, and making it out that far is a little bit of a haul for me, but I'll definitely see what I can put together!

Simply awesome. The muzzle is great. How does that extra weight in the front affect balance and ballast?

Yeah, Aaron, this will be number 2. The first one was to Iraq a couple of years ago. I get to play fobbit this time though. Should be nice and quiet.

Hey guys, tha Army has told me that it's 6 months in Afghanistan starting in October, and I'm hoping to get some diving in before then. If anyone out here in the east coast has anything planned before then, I'd love to get in the water a few times before I go! Let's go diving!

Are you running the "bro deal" on this one as well?

*Edit- and is it already available? Everything I've seen on Deeper Blue led me to believe that it was still in beta testing.

Wow! Some of the most beautiful guns I've ever seen. The craftsmanship looks amazing, and those handles look super comfortable!

Sorry Dan. I figured more people look in here than down below. Please move it if you want.

Looking to get rid of these to fund new fins for my FII Level 2 course. These really aren't stiff enough to get me back up from deep.

I'd be very interested to hear what you have to say about training. I'm trying to go into the course with an open mind and not be the guy that thinks I already know how to do it, but anything else I can take in, I most certainly will.

I just signed up for the FII level 2 in April. PM Sent, Dan
