Scary shit - glad to hear you improved so far past expectations. Welcome back.

Welcome. Having, in my younger days, been able to dive around the world much like you - free diving simplifys the equipment and the pleasure and exploration is great. Much easier to travel without heavy scuba gear - even sans tank. Welcome and share your exploits.

Wow - great trip :thumbsup2:

Probably again someday. I just have to make enough money to put my two little ones through Harvard Medical School. :cool2:Then maybe back to Belize and spearfishing….if I can still dive. :confused1:
Every time I moved to someplace new in my life, it never turned out the way I thought….so, we'll see.
Hank- the move is permanent? Didn't you just build a house in Belize? Are you starting a new family in Vietnam? :nono::nono::laughing3::laughing3:
How us the diving in Vietnam? Should be great I would think :thumbsup2:

My chick (wife) called and said shes taking me out Sat for Sushi and drinks for my birthday, I told her ''I can buy 2 cans of glue for my boat for what your going to waste on tuna and Sake''.....she just doesn't get it.
Cheers,Don
Happy birthday Don - enjoy the sushi and sake. :thumbsup2:

Snook love piers. Corvina and snook both are found around piers in Panama. They also like mangrove and upstream of rivers that empty into the ocean. Really good eating fish.

Beauties and so good eating.. I used to spear a lot of those in my youth. I had one spot always poor viz and lots of sharks but a particular point always held BIG snook. 25-30 pounds and often bigger. Viz was so bad and with their coloring - all you saw often was the black stripe . Fun. :cool2:

A beautiful grouper Hank.
Are you expecting another child in early October :D:laughing3:

Welcome Tony

I'm not a real hunter like you guy's... I live in Montreal... so no sea near my home:-(....
Dan, let's say in US. I will hunt in lakes most of the time, and twice a year in ocean. I don't want to pay more than 250$. I want easy access for parts.
No wood, no carbon, juste a good classic gun for pleasure. Good quality ( I hate Beuchat) and I'm really not sure about Mako ?
Cressi, Omer, Sporasub...??...Right up your alley with great customer service

Ditto Ouch :@

That little mutton would be great fried and served whole 😎 George wants to know what you did to your PINKy. 😝

You are making me feel old since these are all familiar to me from the early days. I never saw the mask with "equalizes" in person but remember seeing it in magazines. But what brought a smile to me was the loading of the Spring Gun. I had two Italuan Spring Guns (Might have been Spanish) one was about 5feet long other was maybe 7 feet in length. I was small and light and could never load either one with the provided loader with handle on my thigh - so I had to get out of the water and load them like the photo shows - place heavy thick shaft point down on boat deck or reef or rocks and bounce speargun until the shaft caught. Wish I still had them but Don Paul has a few still.

Boy does that bring back memories. :thumbsup2:
I remember owning that book in early 50's and I probably read it a hundred times. Wish I had all of my early books and magazines
Great find!!!

A while back I posed a question of specific gravity of wood for building guns. My plan was to build a slightly negative (when loaded) gun, with positive buoyancy without the shaft. Looking through locally available hard woods I came across a source of Tzalam, a dense tropical hardwood frequently used for flooring and furniture here in Mexico.
I glued up a 60" blank with two vertical laminations of Tzalam and a horizontal top sheet of Satine I had laying around. I let the blank hang for one month, then squared it up yesterday. My parts should be here in a few days and I can start cutting. The gun will be a 110 cm "Amero" style open track with a 5/16 shaft and two 5/8" bands, with the option for a third.
After looking at available handles I decided on the full mortise AR-15 rear handle that Neptonics sells. As a lifetime woodworker and furniture maker I have developed a preference for a full mortise connection as opposed to relying on fasteners, so this made the choice of handle obvious for me.
I will post pictures as work progress, and I hope to have the gun finished for the long Xmas break.
Look forward to seeing the photos as it comes together.
