I have found it also makes a great place to stow a cell, folder knife, and cliff bars on mountain bike rides and hikes. Just remember to take the stuff out before going back in the water. I'm going to make sheep wool accessory pads for my trout flies to use during the off season.

When I'm diving 105 miles offshore at Cortez and Tanner Bank I plan on stowing my survival mirror,green dye, and strobe in two of the unused pockets. I have this gear on my life guard float, but one time a big yellow swam up current with it and I realized I would've been screwed if the live boat didn't spot me in the big seas. Just another use for a great product.

And thanks much for the kind words guys, it's such a great feeling to pop a new fish cherry, now it's time for some tuna... Looking like I'll have to wait for when they show up next year if summer isn't canceled then as well.

Tuna show up in the fall at Cortez and Tanner.;)

Cheers, Don

The second gun is one of Jack's from the film Thunderball. It was on display at J+J's in San Diego recently.

I have a very rare film I made of Jack Prodanovich and the legendary big gun builder John Warren. I shot in Jack's garage years ago. Rest assured parts of it will be shared here in time.;)

Quote from Dan

Did the name 007 allude to James Bond for marketing purposes at the time?

Yes Thunderball had many Voit and US Divers spearguns and other dive gear in the film.
My old friend jack Prodanovich made some of the Thunderball underwater battle scene props.
One of the custom compressed air gun prototypes hung on his garage/shop wall for 40 years.
Thank god it's in the estates collection and safe from destruction or loss.

Jack also wore a watch used in the film for many years, before it went to a museum back east.

Quote from mrmike

seems the oil pump isn't pumping and the oil pump drive shaft isnt spinning. the worm gear inside the block is spinning but I think its worn down so far (or stripped) and wont turn the shaft. either way when the pump is spun with a drill its not pumping. big bummer

That sucks,.... oil starvation puts lack of lube damage into the forefront.:(

What do these numbers mean?

Those are our of shore banks, and some are referring to depth in fathoms.
