my guess would be the same as before. (in the context of freediving Spearfishing ) not maximum depth.

good point Rolo, I personally like being weighted heavier for dives to 40-50 ft.
I think anything more than 60 and weight should be removed to be postive 30 feet and up.
The last 30 feet of ascent is where your most likely to lose consciousness, and where your brain needs the oxygen the most. In case of a blackout at 30 feet you have a better chance of floating to the surface and being seen versus being negative and falling to your death.
Even better when diving deeper than 60 it's good NOT to dive alone.
Furthermore, I think it's just not worth it. When diving becomes a pissing contest to see who dives deeper and comes back with the biggest fish defeats the purpose why I go out there. I enjoy being in the water with good friends and shooting fish if they are there. Life is too fragile and there is much more to lose than win.

menos mal que no compre esa mierda

good explanation davie, sometimes especially on deeper dives less weight is better.
At that depth having 12lbs of weight strapped to yourself can put you in a bad position.

My experience has been similar to yours they are a PITA.
Id rather swim out and invest in a good float with minimal drag and good visibility. like your boogie board.A friend of mine bought a nice ocean kayak rigged it all up used it a few times, and ended up buying a boat.

look like carbon fins, the guy is a bad ass.

yes exactly. Mako's strategy was well thought out.
If they can operate at that level of profit, all the power to them. I wouldnt be surprised if this would cause other similar manufactures to match them and drop their prices to remain competitive. Simple econmics.
Those guys at mako didn't invent electricity, or something genius. they just did a little homework.

I guess you can say they chose a cost leadership vs prouduct differentiation strategy
Kudos to them for being able to so.
Just because something is unethical, it doesnt make it illegal. This is a thin line sometimes walked by in the business world.

im not sure what they mean by quieter, that the shaft makes less noise leaving the barrel?
i think this noise is irrelevant as the fish is dead by the time he hears it. I think adding that extra piece just makes the gun more vulnerable for that thing to fall off. the metal to metal might cause more friction however.
one thing that causes the gun to be noisy in the water is the swivel where the mono is attached rubbing against the barrel while moving through the water, this problem is easily solved by adding a piece of clear pvc over the swivel

Got out at 1 'oclock yesterday, to check one spot and test a buddy's new boat.
I jumped in at a drop off that goes from about 35 to about 90. Vis was a hazy 25 feet green ugly water.
No fish worth mentioning. As I was sitting on the edge of the drop off in about 40 I see a big shadow and in front of me cruises a cornuda that must of been pushing 13-14 feet long and close to 400 lbs.
This HH was unlike others i have seen that are gray with white belly, it was A dark color, looked almost black, I dont know if they change color to hunt? or some are this color. Impresive sight nonetheless.
On the way in we saw two turtles screwing, my friend jumped in and took a video of them. I have to upload later.
