Welcome Aquatic Cat, this is a great place to start. I would look for a Craig list pole spear and some fins.

Cheers, Don

Real nice lateral line shot George. Soon you open a shark feeding dive spot.;)

PS. In regards to carbon fiber, I am actually working on some CF handles for my pneumatic guns, haha. I am sure, it will make the gun soooo much better.

You will have the fastest handle in the sea. carbon Fiber got it's start with Thomas Edison.

Cheers, Don

Wish I still had them but Don Paul has a few still.

But you actually used them, I am just a keeper of the past with the springy things.:)

That presumes that the strap is continuous thru the length of the float...[/QUOTE]

I think with the hole may have already hit the strap, he can still daisy chain the next float (if needed) from the bridle.

Quote from monster slayer

Hahaha, I was thinking that probably passing some sort of tubing through the hole And then stick it in with epoxy and a replaceable cord could be fitted there.

What do you think?

If you have a plumbers flair kit you could flair some copper tubing on one end, then get some G-flex from a local boat store to bond/seal it into the hole. After it sets up for a day trim off the tube 1/4 inch from the other side and flair the remaining end with 2 ball peen hammers, one to act as the flair die and the other to tap with.
Seal that end and your good to go with your line bridle.

Thanks Pete.

Welcome guys, enjoy the journey.

I read this book over and over when I was a kid, it truly inspired me even though my ocean was a New England lake. Later in the 70's I read it again as I first skin dove Cali local waters. Some time later it was loaned out, never to be seen again. I plan to replace it some day so my son will get a fully stocked dive library when I transcend to energy and star dust.

When his wife, Maude Louise Gilpatric, learned that she had breast cancer in July 1950, they decided to commit suicide together. While waiting for the diagnosis to be confirmed, they explored the confusing array of treatment options with multiple experts. He shot her in the back of the head, then shot himself. They left notes for friends and family, saying they chose "mercy bullets" over "magic bullets". Their bodies were found in their Santa Barbara home by a house guest.

Although it was never proven, is widely believed that the doctor had read the wrong medical chart and that Maude did not have cancer.:(

Here is some place to start... I'm on the whiskey tonight so I can get some sleep.

Cheers, Don

Best blue water post I've seen, I got chills thinking of the early offshore beginnings, and what off shore harvesting has evolved into on both coasts and the world.
A big congrats to the fine divers, and safe diving to all.

All the best, Don

Glad you and crew are OK.

Quote from Rustyflopper

I'm an old fart still open to new ideas but 'tempered' by Murphey's Law. Simplicity is hard to compete against, i.e. , the snorkle!

Rollers are perfect for old farts, the first patent is 1948.;) I've got at least 3 of the old things.
I'm gonna get one of Seals guns some day before he realizes what his time is worth.;)

Quote from Josediaz

Yes, the concept of the design is to be less than an inflatable boat and float larger table but with all propulsion and detachable.

Propulsion types that exist today, efficient and lighter?

I've seen electric engine for kayaks. https://www.facebook.com/Kayak…/988442171178119/?fref=nf

I think it's a job for super Don Paul ...

No No No ...as I get older I"m going minimalist. Pole spear, no speedo, no wet suit. Just FRV vest and a fat gut to keep me warm.

Cheers, Don

I never dive alone... Mother Ocean, God, and my skill sets and experience are always there with me.

I'll also get you 'Sampson' head floppers and a detachable head female bit.

Aloha Don,
Thank you so much for the gift!!!!! On the safety do I drilled it the same as the other one in the gun?
Mahalo Kip

Yes, but I can drill it as I have the tooling if you want.

Cheers, Don
