In the vice I like to use rubber. A piece of old (thin) rubber car mat is perfect, it even has ridges running lengthwise which makes for a better grip in the vice.
I don't know why glue is necessary between the grip and handle frame. The Speardiver Phantom handle only requires the pin, the pin is stainless steel though.
I agree with you Dan!!! They shouldn't use glue or rubber to "fix" it!
Display MoreThe Pathos grip is removed by punching out the plastic pin. Then with a lot of swearing and crying, basically destroying the handle in a vise while you hammer on the handle frame.
The stock grip (generally right handed ergo target style grip) is lightly glued on to the handle frame.
Youll need to :
1.Tap the pin out,
2.Place the grip in a vise (use cloth to keep the knerling on the jaws from causing too much damage to the grip....if you want to save it)
3.lightly tap on the plastic frame (trigger gaurd) to see if the impact will break the glue
4.If not, use a mechanics chisel or a dull wood chisel to seperate the grip from the handle frame (tapping on the chisel with the mallet creating a wedge between the two pieces)
5.This may not work (it usually does) but if the glue is a little too much you may want to cut into the grip with a hack saw (not too deep into the handle frame)
6. Ive also filed and shaped the handle to fit my hand better.
Hope this helps,
Josh
Hi Josh! I had two problems with the original handle grip that was:
*my hand is too big for it! It doesn't grip well, sometimes, hurt my hand;
*I usually shot with both hands and the handle grip just works with right hand!
So I bought this model that fits im my hand, don't hurt them and I can shoot with both them!
It worked! After a lot of swearing and crying!!! kkkkkkk Ant it had a piece of rubber inside the handle grip, between grip and pin, I believe that was to "fix" really hard!
I didn't destroy the original handle grip...Believe or not! I tied a rope in the hole of the grip and pulled out hardly! I could change the model that i wanted at first!
Thanks a lot for yous help!
You can't knock out the pin?
I already did it....was the first thing that i did

Hi folks!
I'm here with another doubt to experts: "what's the main difference between carbon fins sweep "C" and sweep "J"?"
I know that is the area where happens the deformation (middle (sweep C) or end (sweep J)) but in the water, when you're kicking down or up, what is the difference between them??? Speed, strengh, comfort?
If anyone could help me with this doubt I would be greatful!
"Deep Master PRO" fins (Pure Carbon sweep "J")
Deep Master "Сlassic" carbon fins (sweep "С")
Hi everyone!
I'm thinking about buy one of this snorkel but first I'd like to know what you think, if it has quality, comfort, etc.
It costs less than 20 dollars!
Hi Ygy!
If I were you I had already bought a Pathos Laser Open or a Cressi Cherokee, both are the best spearguns in the market, in my opinion!
But Cressi is a little fragile tha Pathos! Now I'm using Pathos Laser Open and is the best speargun that I've had used ever!!! Forget other brands....Get one Pathos and you will understand what I'm talking about....It's simple, resistent, durable!
I hope that it could helped you!
I'm using the OMER UP-M1 mask and it's better than Zero3....Im my case it doesn't hurt my forehead as Zero3 did!
The silicon is softer than Zero3....Field of view is smaller in any algles!!!
Hi Bruno,
What I do is I have one 3 mm open cell wetsuit and one full body two pieces hooded lycra. Depending on water temperature, I wear one or the other or combine neoprene top with lycra pants. Speardiver wetsuits are good. My son Franco and myself use them. The lycra I have is Rob Allen. Very good too.
Thanks for your advice Marco! After some thoughts I bought the Seacsub Makaira but it is not opencel...it is nylon inside and outside with 2mm...it's great for now but works just in warm water....I will buy a Cressi Apnea opencell suit wit 3,5mm soon....for cold waters...actually to spearfishing in the winter.....
I sold my Omer Master Team 5mm opencell wetsuit because is necessary a lot of weight in the belt and I feel unconfortable with....I prefer less weight....
Diego Santiago is one of the best spearfisherman here in Brazil!!!
I'm afraid if it could destroy my mask!!!kkkkkkkk
Hi guys!

I have a mask (Omer Apnea) that does not defoggy....i tried *burn the lenses, wash with toothpaste, and no results....
Hello!
I'm building an inverted roller with 60cm and I would like to know what kind of rubber did you use???
It seems Sigalsub, is it??? I'm in doubt about using Sigal Extreme or Sigal Reactive Evo
Can you helpe me???
Suits are like masks - best to try them on. At the very least, download a sizing chart from Seacsub and see if you tend to fit how they cut their suits.
If you are very lucky, pretty much the most you can hope for it that someone has tried it and you can compared your body type to his.
But, for me, the ONLY problem is the price of them!!! Masks you spend about 30 until 50 dollars...wetsuit you pay over 100 dollars!!! It's tuff!!!
I'm using since a long time ago a Speardiver 1,5 mm and I can say that it is very good!
Qual vc esta usando de 1,5mm amigo? É opencell???
Hi folks!
Did you see the new Seacsub Makaira 2mm wetsuit??? I was thinking buy one to test because my region is too warm and i did not like the 5mm Omer Master team because it's too hot inside!
