    Quote from Don Paul

    I would just hang it on the wall and fondle it every week end, but I'm a romantic.^^;)


    That would look great with a voluptuos black haired Italian girl.....skin out black Cressi Sub suit....Cressi Rondine rubber fins.... and a micro mask getting out of a Fiat 500.^^:thumbup:


    Ciao, Donzi


    Or an Alfa Romeo 2002 model Coupe. :thumbup:

  • Stop bashing México

    Don - I just want to say thanks for the new perspective. You are a classy person and I respect you and mourn your loss. Thanks for the telling - obviously very difficult for you. Gracias amigo.

  • Spearfishing wetsuit sizing help

    Send a couple of really cute "chiquitas" to Dan's shop in Miami and get the gals to "sweet talk" Dan in customizing one for you. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">


    Ask him to start making a one piece or 2 piece 1 or 1.5 mm camo too for warm water diving. I need one soon and Dan doesn't offer them :(. I need one soon Dan <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • Aqualung buys OMER and Sporasub

    I did a little research when I got home and it seems that Aqualung was just a generic term first used by Cousteu in the Silent World and U.S. Divers appears to be the manufacture - I dug out my second regulator bought in the 50's and it is a U.S. Divers two hose double stage regulator that I used until I couldn't get parts for it in the mid 80's. My first was a double hose single stage but I don't have it anymore.


    Anyone know more on the early Cousteu design regulators of the late 40's early 50's? I still have my first real fins - black rubber full foot Cressi total length 18 inches :). I actually used these until I replaced them with Omer Tuna's in 1999. Amaing how esy it was to free dive and spearfish to 100 feet with that equipment but of course we were teens then and didn't knw better.


    Wish I still had my full face oval masks as momentous to keep with my Cresi fins and U.S. Divers regulatr.


    I remember diving Cozumel in the 80's with no B.C., no pressure gauge, just a basic strap and my double he's U.S. Divers regulator and everyone else had B.C's etc. was often asked if my regulator was something new!!! <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">


    Sorry, brings back old memories.




    Here is what I found: Aqua-lung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Aqualung buys OMER and Sporasub

    Dan - you and others may have more historical perspective, but when I started diving in the early 50's, unless early dementia is setting in, I recall my first regulator was an Agua-Lung - yes? - I seem to recal that was the firt commercial regulator - Anyone know? ?(


    And if memory serves me right, many of the early wide oval masks were Agua-Lung brand.


    Will need to do a search when I get home this evening.


    The key question today is: will they (Aqua-Lung) understand and continue Omer's freediving/spearfishing tradition? Time will tell I guess. I have Omer equipment (mask, snorkel, fins) but think there are better products available today IMHO.

  • Spearfishing Alaska salmon

    My hats off to all spearo's that hunt in cold water. Well done! :thumbup: your comment about the color of your suit - Black vtsus Camo made sense when I stopped to think about it. Black suit = Sea Lion look alike, number one predator of Salmon. Interesting.

  • New Member: Sam from Iran

    Welcome Saam. I was in your country many years ago (1965) and it is an interesting country with long history. I visited Daniel's Tomb and a new Dam being built for Hydro- electric power but it was many years ago and I don't remember the names but I was in a maritime port on the Euphrades River entering from the Persian Gulf.


    How is the diving in the Persian Gulf and what type of fish do you have?


    Welcome and hope to see some interesting photos (maybe from the women's beach) sorry American humor :nono:

    Funny - spearing any kind of bass not allowed, or at least, it didn't use to be. Even thse imported from South America, had to be on a line if legal <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

  • New member - old spearo saying hi

    Quote from Marco

    Hola Oscar,


    Mi respeto para ti. Espero seguir buceando a tu edad. Las islas serían Los roques? Son muy bonitas, pero son parque nacional y no permiten la pesca submarina.


    Buenas tarde Marcos - gracias pero ya no puedo ir a cien pies y matar meros y Pargos como antes <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin"> pero si, es bueno que todavia puedo regresar al mar de pesca submarina: :thumbup: regrese al gymnasio para ir a la Paz en Abril que nunca he pescado Yellowtail y quiero hacerlo o debo hacerlo cuando puedo.


    Donde pescas en Venezuela? Lo conosco bien de trabajo y me da triste de la politica de ud's.


    Si, Los Roques - fue de visita muy Bonita's no Swabia que etan parque national es peo que bien.


    Llevo mi familia a Panama el lunes de vacaciones y Vamos a las Islas de San Blas por 4 Dias pero sin pesca submarina - nada mas de "snorkeling"


    Dive safe and clear waters!

  • 2 little mid handle guns.
