    Ok so aside from the powerhead. Do you look to make a swift exit..... continue hunting if it's not acting aggressive. I know that every situation is different and everyone will react in a different way. Just want to see what the general consensus is.
    All I have to relate it to is archery hunting for elk in bear country. I'm no stranger to extreme hunting around dangerous predators but I'm also not dumb enough to think that my experiences with bears and lions at 10,000 ft have equiped me to know anything about dealing with sharks below the surface. But aside from personal experience the best way to learn is to ask people that have the experience.
    Thanks for your helpful input

    I wanted to pose a question and im sure that I will get some jabs from those out there that were born knowing everything about being a spero but im going to ask anyways.
    I fully understand that when one goes hunting you have to expect to have visits or encounters with large toothy predators. I can see how if you are on air you can tuck under a ledge and wait it out or take somewhat of a defensive stance. But not being on air leaves you on limited time. So what is your advise for the beginner on dealing with visits from the stars of shark week?
    I'm not scared or overly concerned. I just want to be prepared

    Nice. A guy I work with is trying to get his pontoon boat ready. If not I have a bass boat in the shop that'll be done soon. Might give it a go at cedar with that.

    Are you able to try on foot pockets? If not read Dans thread about sizing them and all the reviews. The way your fins fit and feel may well be the most important dive gear


    There is a bubbler shop in Gainesville. Not sure what he sells but I will check it out and also read Dan 's thread.

    Welcome to Speardiver.


    What makes you think you need a computer to dive and spear fish?


    Honestly, all I have to go off of is what I've read which has been a mix of freediving and spearo. I don't know anyone to learn from. In Colorado I was an avid hunter and fly fisherman. I moved here about a year ago and have fallen in love with the water and see it as a way to merge all of my passions together. So the answer to why I think I need a computer for spearfishing? I read it somewhere that it is an essential piece of safety equipment. And since I am new to life in the water I have been focusing on the diving aspect so I can hunt safely.
    Sorry for being so long winded.
