Thanks, just thinking right now, always thinking about spearguns though I guess, thought i would ask around about them.

"Isn't it just a matter of equalizing?"

yes I was just curious only because my Riffe down to 30 gives bad squeeze for me and yes i need to equalize but it hurts my O2 storage pretty bad, this is because it squeezes so tightly it takes a bit to equalize. Thanks dan.

How are Mako guns for the money, thinking of a 130, open muzzle, those that have this gun size and a Mako what band do you prefer 1 or 2 and if 1 what size 20mm?

Also what is a better choice the predator or the other one? thanks all.

would you say the Omer Abyss mask is for medium to wide face dan ? how is it down to say 80ft roughly with mask squeeze, thanks.

I dont mind necissarily if my nose hits the bottom of the skirt it is just that the nose pocket on the Riffe is so small that it is not comfortable, my nose is squeezed in there, they have such small nose pockets. I have my performance freedive clinic this weekend and would like to get a better mask for it so im not limited by mask squeeze by my nose. Anyone know were in south Florida they sell this mask to maybe order and try and if not a fit return it, thanks.

Thanks LOMartin

Ok i need a new mask, i guess i have a slightly large nose because the Riffe Naida mask that I own hurts the bottom of my nose, the bone between the nose and upper lip and it is because my nose is so tight in the nose pocket and the skirt just needs to be a tad bit lower and it would be golden.

So can anyone tell me if the technisub Micromask may fit me better, does it have ample space for a large (not huge just i guess a little bigger than most) nose and that the skirt at least comes down more than the Riffe style masks.

I own the Riffe "Naida" and the "frameless" which are fitting me great around the face accept the nose, it is the nose pocket of the Riffe masks actually that are a bit small. The Riffe fit for "medium to wide" is fine for me just the nose is a bit small.

Will those who know of these mask but now use the Technisub Micromask be able to tell me if the micro will be better as far as a "medium to wide" fit and slightly more nose room on this mask? thanks all.

Lunker the weight is fine it's just that on a large euro130 gun it just adds a little more weight, but not a real problem, i was just interested in something different really, i like that RA Composite reel, thats a nice looking reel.

Hi guys, I am looking for a good strong but light reel for my Deathstick, I have a Riffe Horizontal reel on my other wood gun and it is good but a tad heavy, I would like some of your ideas on a good reel for my 55inch deathstick, one that has at least 2 screws for added strength and a reel that is relatively light, any ideas and maybe links or picks? thanks.

OOps sorry, yeah I need to upload pics, I am leaving on a cruise tommorrow for a week, when I return I will upload some pics, it's brand new and never seen water so it will look like the ones on the Riffe website, but, yeah I will upload when i return for everyone, safe diving.

Ok down to $450

Never seen water, no dings, nicks, scratches just brand new Riffe Euro with 3 9/16 bands for ease of loading and all the same power as the 2 it comes with. This is a beautiful color Riffe, with dark and light wood, real nice.

$470

I have3 guns now, 1 is my Riffe Euro 130 which is a laser and great for clear water, a bit heavier to swim with but manageable, the next is a Riffe Euro-X 110 and an Aimrite super venom 120 which is to me the best one, smooth clean lines, great handle and trigger mechanism and light, real easy to swing and better all around for swimming and ascending with, I might just start using just Aimrite from now on and eventually sell my Riffe guns, I feel they are that good and super nice looking as well and can't beat the lifetime warranty.

Yeah pendelum dives are incredible to watch, obviously easy getting to depth but a bit scary trying to get back to the surface from so deep, ExtremeSpearfishing.com has lots of videos of many pendelum dives and 2:30 breath holds as well.

Yes I have checked that out, a very nice gun for sure but a bit to expensive for me, maybe in the future, I am just dreaming for now.

My Aimrite super venom 120 came today, wow it is a nice gun, well built, real solid with great handle, can't wait to get it wet...now maybe a 140????????

Pargo I will still call you and come check out the Carbon fins and Dessault FP, I am just waiting for my new socks to come in so I can bring them down with me.

Mariner how much for the knife.

Pargo what knife is that, they for sale?

Great

Well Im relativly new to freediving so I would say in the 30 to 50 right now, I take the Performance Freedive course this October and this will help me understand what I need to do in order to breath up properly and ventilation along with safety, right now I have simply done my best with limited understanding.
