hey man,if your willing to give it a go,I reckon you could run into something decent enough for a meal.
Not sure on the reef state where your going to be diving but id say a day diving is a day diving.

Yesterday's dive was a wild one.
Headed out around 10 to be greeted by 20 knot winds and terrible visibility.still tried my luck but had a band break at around the 20 minute mark so called it and headed in.after making up two new 16mm bands i headed out again in the afternoon.the winds had died down enough to dive a further section of reef.
Got to the spot and made a drop down the wall to around 65-75ft.
Just off the bottom I saw a really nice mutton, curiously approaching, and tried my best to not stare and just get to the bottom.he came right at me and I shot him.clearly wounded and swimming in circles I saw my shaft hadn't gone all the way through and slipped right out the fish.
A short sprint and I managed to get a hold of it and headed for the surface.
11bls cleaned and a new pb.
This season is gearing up to be a great one🔥🤘🏻

lovely mutton snapper from today

glad to hear man.
Looking to put some thicker bands on mine and upgrade the shooting line I think.
Looking at hunting some big snappers a little later in the year and feel the upgrade wouldn't hurt.
-
after some time in the water with it,my suggestion would be to go for one of the shorter versions,especially if the visibility isn't alway perfect where your diving.
Looking at it now I think the 90 or 100 would be better.
The shorter versions also come with the 5/8ths bands so your not compramising on power too much

finally got a good day for diving today so decided on an after-work shore dive with the new gun.
Honestly love it.
Shoots really intuitively,feels like a ray gun compared to the previous gun I was using.
Shot a nice little mackerel in the end though.

when I first got into spearfishing I bought myself a pair of SEAC booster long fins.my reasoning behind them was that at their price point(around 110 usd) they offered the durability of polymer blades to get used to long fins but the blades were interchangeable.currently I'm looking to upgrade my blades but I really like the foot pockets.i wanted to ask if anyone knows if DiveR carbon blades would fit these foot pockets?with living in the dominican republic the only way to test this would be to get the blades first and I wanted to check before spending a couple hundred bucks on blades I can't use without buying new foot pockets.😂
Thanks

Definitely something to consider when I look for an upgrade or replacement gun.
Still can't give honest opinion about the mares strike(as it hasnt arrived yet) but I think if it delivers on what it promises it could arguably be the best beginner/intermediate option for those keen to hunt but on a tight budget.at least the best I've found.🤷🏻♂️

thanks Dan🤙🏼

Greetings to everyone from luperon in the dominican👋🏼
My name's Dylan and i discovered the sport of spearfishing 2 years ago when I moved here.
Trying to find someone else who goes spearfishing as I find there are a lot of dominican spearos here but all the ones I've met only do it to a certain degree,shooting enough small fish in shallow water to feed themselves and their family for a day.
I still don't consider myself a pro at all,always more to learn,yet I find that the better fish are deeper(due to lots of over fishing in shallow waters with gill nets)
I've shot a good amount of snappers ranging in size here and have seen some absolute giants swimming in these waters
Because of this my self taught diving has lead me to hunt deeper,ranging on average 50-70ft,mostly for snappers but I'm not picky when it comes to good sized good eating fish.hoping to meet others that share the passion for it and im always down to dive with others regardless of experience

It hasnt arrived yet,but ive ordered the mares strike 115 off amazon for 252usd.
been looking to get my own gun(as I've used only other people's old guns)for about a year,my problem was all the pipe guns that had recommendations were ranging upwards of 500 if you wanted a reel on them.stummbled onto the strike and was blown away at the product package for it's price.
Will do a follow up once I've been able to test it for myself
