I've found in Ft. Lauderdale whenever there is a west wind no matter how hard it blows it will always be pretty calm. The harder it blows from the west the calmer it will be. Also it will most likely be crappy vis.

What about

South Florida Speardivers Club

It has a more fluid pronunciation.

SSS - "salty sea men"

Looks like a cubera but I think you guys call that a pargo which we here call a dog or mutton snapper.

Are pargo and dog tooth same in MEX?

Very nice guns. Optimized to the max.

Let me guess did -----> Dan+booze=Friends in bite suit?

I did a sea/air trial on one of these 2 years ago. Was a lot of fun and great for spotting reef, finding birds on fish, smooth/fast ride an with the wheels accessory u could take off from a parking lot. Was a little loud though.
There was a dealer in Islamorada. MM84

If all you want is something simple and that can be very easily modified for spearfishing.... check out this page. I know that they are a little over priced, but dammm this toys are cool!!!

they say up to 2 people, but they weren't counting on the hispanics.... we can fit up to 6 people and let's go fishing!!!

Dude I've seen people on that and there is no way in hell you can use it for spearfishing in anything other than perfectly calm seas.

Seeing as replaced her broken hip and let her walk again she loved it.

I like the water soluable glue thing. But what's the size limit on that printer?

12x12x4 not big enough to make a gun, all the bigger things are printed in sections then assembled. That's why I suggested just making the core out of a glue and filler.

Did you know carbon fibers contract when heated and expand when cooled along the fiber direction?

Making a core out of aluminum with a very smooth surface finish and waxing it good perhaps it might come out when cooled water is passed through the core.

We have a 3d printer at school. Basically, it sprays glue like an inkjet printer on special sand then lays down a new single layer of sand and does the same thing again and again until the piece builds up. The glue ink is water soluble.

I have used it to make this which encases ball bearings. I 3d printed the negative of it with ball bearings as one piece, then I soaked it in melted petroleum jelly. I poured in some dental resin, then boiled the peice until the mold dissolved and was left with just the blue part where I could pop in the bearings.

Perhaps you can use a water soluble glue with some sort of filler to make a machineable core.

Why not a motor with a tiller?

Less things to break and maintain, more space, and being at the back you see less wave action. Although I know you will only take it out on nice days.

Those kill shots have to be the hardest of what should be the easy shots.

Nice King, Did he pull hard or did you spear him good?

I only have some knowledge no experience. I'm pretty sure you can use a bat to kill a hog if you study and scout them a couple days. Same thing with the deer. You just have to know their routine and exploit it.

100 yds is doable no scope with any rifle. You just need to put in some practice time at the range to get familiar with the gun.

I dont know what you like. I'd say those guns are way overkill.

I haven't hunted before but if I did I don't think I'd use a scope. For hogs I'd use the .45 pistol, deer I'd use the little black one, a .40 S&W pistol round.

When I started all my guns had scopes, now none of them do unless they only accept scopes. The scopes get boring after a while.

Cool Alan, where was this?

If you ever need to borrow a gun for hunting just ask.

Quote from Marco

What do you use as a bait? A piece of coral?

That's the thing. I had my dad hook a big blue in the eye, not the eye socket but the eye skin. It was about 20lbs which was more surprising his eyeball didn't pop out.

Also my friend caught one on a piece of ham.

Protected from spearfishing only. You can catch them on hook n line.
