Based on the name and angle of the shots I predict the mount protrudes from the diver's butt.
Haha! Might make relaxing during a dive difficult.

Can you post a link to a pic of the actual mount? I looked and can't find it on there website and I wouldn't make any assumptions based on the video.
Welcome! Should be an awesome place to learn. Good luck!
Looks good. Nice job on the transom, can't even tell it was rebuilt.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Love the boat and the price you paid!
Other dive vest are meant to augment the belt system this one replaces it. I can not fathom the claim that the slimmer neoprene vest can support up to twelve pounds. Look at the picture and the required volume of lead to reach that level. How can they claim stuff that kind of mass into those small flat pockets? .
Cool DIY.
I've used 15lbs (2.5lb per pouch) in my neoprene vest with my home made weights. Like you said the neoprene vest type is just to augment the belt so I normally only keep 7-8lbs in it. Doing away with the belt would be nice!
I think you are looking in the right size range for your area. I personally wouldn't go over 80cm till you gain some diving skills. A longer gun will make it hard to shot fish at the really close ranges you'll be shooting. I started with a Jbl mini and iv shot lots of rock fish and lings with it. I think some thing like the speardiver phantom 70cm with one band would be the way to go. Only time I've needed a gun over 100cm is for salmon and I don't think you can shoot those in Washington.
Welcome!
Welcome!
Welcome! I look forward to seeing some pictures. I learned to swim in the bitterroot river as a kid and fondly remember our pike fishing trips. Spearing one sounds like a blast.
Welcome!
Merry Christmas.
Welcome!

Is this the suit your asking about? Seems gimmicky but would be nice if it really made a difference.
Glazing is a great idea.
Treebilly is that practical for other meats besides Fish. Moose,deer,elk, etc?
Poultry and seafood is really all it's used on. I would call it the cheep alternative to wrapping. I wouldn't sagest it for red meats.
Wild game will last well over a year if wrapped tightly in freezer paper "tightly" being the key. I have muskox in my freezer that is almost two years old and only in freezer paper that is in excellent shape.
Would never be more than two months. Few weeks would be typical, in that case maybe I will just try glazing, would just wetting before freezing do? Or is there a process?
Hope I am not being a pain with my ignorant questions.
No problem:) I was a butcher for ten years so I get these are not common place questions. Glazing is a process, you freeze the fish then spray it with water then freeze again.
What you might try that will be faster is go to your butcher shop and ask to buy a role of there shrink wrap. What they wrap trays of meat in. It's larger and stronger than the small boxed crap you get on the shelf. A roll should last you a few seasons too!
I just started using a vest this year and it makes a noticeable difference in my dives. Part of it is I'm wearing 20lbs and about 1/3 of it is in the vest. On the surface my back doesn't get sore from the weight pulling me in the middle any more. When I start my dive I notice it takes less effort to get under. Having the weight forward feels like it pulls you down rather than being pushed down. Then laying on the bottom especially in shallow water the vest holds my upper body down making it easier to stay put.
If you wear a lot of lead I'd recommend a vest.
Iv vacum packed whole salmon no problem but i don't think whole wahoo will fit in the bags, but that shouldn't stop you from trying. I'd say try a few different ways being that you said less than two months vacum packing might be overkill.
