Don Paul, I understand you say that the shot was off target?
José
Very ''on target'' ''Spot on'' is British slang for Perfect, well done. I find the gun very accurate....Perfecto.

Only got to stay down long enough to dive 3 days. Going again soon though.
Don let me know if the fish I dropped off was any goodJust got home from work, it was great meeting and talking to you last night. Thank so much for the Grouper filets, I'll be cooking them when my friend Anders is here for the week end.
Awesome pictures mate.
All the best, Don

I have never shot the Andre, but used the Riffy Euro 130 for a day target shooting in the pool. It shoots very well right out of the box, and was spot on 14 feet off the tip with a 7mil flopper shaft. The gun will last a very long time with light fresh water rinse.

Does anyone have experience with car leather seats and diving? I'm considering getting a car with leather seats. I'm lazy and from time to time get into the car wet, sometimes with wetsuit pants straight out from the water. How do leather seats fair under this kind of use/abuse? Do they get discolored from contact with saltwater? Dryout/crack?
Other than that what do you think is the best option for a car seat cover and diving?
Get the leather seats, you can allways get sheepskins or throw a towl on them.
Is it a Merc?Cheers, Don

Prodive are now out of business, one model had a moulded plastic barrel and their handle looked rather like a Sea Hornet, only with a different lower grip shape. The innards are similar to the Undersee as Don Paul says. It will do what they will do. Generally 1 x 3/4" or 2 x 5/8" bands.
Pete, are the UnderSee still for sale downunder?
Cheers, Don

Thanks mate, that looks doable, hope my local reef looks that good.
Cheers, Don

Are they still sold there?

Mike, that is a New Zealand version of the Aussie Undersee mech. Jay Riffe used these for while in the early days of his Riffe speargun business when the Aussie's quit selling him the UnderSea for his gun.
The early ones had a brass sear and trigger which was nickle plated, but they may have changed to SS.
I would not exceed 2 5/8 bands if the trigger is brass, what used to yield, and let the gun pre-fire was the rivet that the sear pivoted on. You can scratch/file the surface of the trigger to see if brass/Bronze is the parent metal. That mech you's t to be used in the Kiwi gun called '' The Gun'' and had plastic handle and nicely varnished mahogany barrel.

Depending on the amount of flotation the ''sea brake'' system makes, the use of a bungee is a good choice if large fast fish are targeted. The small signal flare parachutes Maas, Prodanovich, and myself tried years ago put too much load on the fish's meat and rigging.

Although, nothing like Dons Sporasub. That thing looks like an old cellphone with wrist strap lol.The side scanning sonar takes up some space in the case.;)
