Hardline and Wishihadgills----all good useful intel, thank you

I gave up on the remote WiFi underwater idea once I got the GoPro app on my iphone. The iphone app is WAY better for me and my needs BECAUSE:
1. With my old eyes I couldn't see what the remote was showing without my reading glasses anyway. The iphone screen is WAY bigger than the WiFi remote screen.
2. The iphone app allows me to view / delete what I just filmed next time I git back to the yak, thus allowing me to save card space for the next dive.
3. The iphone app easily allows me to change the GoPro settings AND other advantages I haven't even figured out yet.
4. The GoPro app is free
hope this helps

Thats really cool Hau. Sounds like everything that is a PITA about filming is remedied with that app. I just wish they would make the filiming on/off beeps loud enough to hear with a hood on and sloshing waves.

Also I don't know how u guys are having trouble with getting stuff in view on the gopro. If I look at my mask sideways before putting it on its easy to tell if the cameras level with the mask lens.

Nice tako. Did you eat the Kole or the neuneu (spelling?)* If so how was it?

120 railgun is the only logical answer

1.7mm dyneema that does float. I'm almost positive the gun would float even without buoyant line, though.

Steven, does your Speardiver Phantom float with the reel and line?

Shaft out, of course.
I'd hate if it didnt.

Quote from parker

o. Do you guys know whether 120cm ali guns will float with a Speardiver Composite reel with Spectra line?

Oh yeah, weenie me had a tough time loading the 20mm band what came stock on the Pelaj. While practice loading/unloading, the wishbone snapped because I let it rub against the spear notch. So, I replace it with twin 16mm's.

That should float fine. and if the notches are cutting easily you should consider taking some of that abrasive string to them to smooth them out.

I didn't want anything to do with this thread but this is mildly applicable.

Thats a big rainbow runner!
Nice fish

Nice fish and dive spot. Also that is a very cool truck

welcome

I guess you guys don't know.. tying bands is really hard!

Is there such a show? I assumed he meant the blue wild as well. I bet the Miami Spearfishing show is in Miami

I've been using the Speardiver Composite Speargun Reel on my railgun now for long enough to feel like I can post about it. The reason I say long enough is because the other reels I had worked well enough too, at first.
Mainly what I am comparing it to (given my experience) are the omer match reel and more importantly the Spearmaster/Mako and Rob Allen Vecta composite reels.

The Speardiver reel has the same capacity as the Spearmaster & Rob Allen @ 70m and 20 more meters than the Omer match at 50m

Speardiver reel

The only reel I have a problem with is the Mako. It was less than a month after having it (and yes I always thoroughly rinse my gear) before it started seizing up. The drag knob would move independently of the top screw and would become, at the most inconvenient times, unable to be adjusted. The Omer match reel had a similar inconsistency with its drag's function.

Furthermore the Speardiver reel has a smoother spin as the spool rests on a stainless steel axle encased in a plastic sheath rather than loosely on a bare metal axle.

You can see my gripe with the Spearmaster reel in this vid around 1:22 I often had to yank line out while ascending yet the drags wide open.

Man that diving looks nice
Cool concept with the Id rather be diving intro

It's neat to see people wearing the same wetsuit as me all over the world. I guess I'm sentimental like that.

It is really good. A little while ago I read they were being investigated because people residing in the area near their bottling place said the fumes were too intense. This time sounds like they have some quality control problem with "micro-organisms"

Awesome
