greekdiver/seaweed---I know you said that you were editing the video, but just one question please.

Does your new improved GoPro camera blurry fix work. :thumbsup1: or :thumbdown2:
thanks

(obviously the GoPro DID NOT flood)

We had to abbort the yak/freedivin mission today due to rough seas and high winds
Several spearos drove long distances for NO spearin

Holy sheit, those are some great fish
Congratulations greekdiver and seaweed

LunkerBuster--I'll try to finish the bull and moray story in the next day of so. If you notice, I fell asleep writing the beginning of the story.:)
The moray got a sore head and no fish. :nono:
The bull got a very sore nose and only 1 fish. :nono:
I will NEVER have a gun WITHOUT a Tin Man spike

We paddled out to the outside of the second and saw no fish so we turned and swam/towed in to shallower water and started seeing / shooting fish in 35-40fsw.
Hogs are in the 40fsw or less at Meade and Ft. Lauderdale other spearos reported today.
Hogs an others are bitting well on spring steel and SS shafts with FAST presentstion <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

K, gotta go clean fish

This story may get long.
It is about HAVING to use my Tin Man spike to fight off a big moray AND bull shark today.

I saw some nice black margates around and under a ledge, I circled the ledge to get the best angle under the ledge, breathed up and dropped down to the reef floor at aprox 30fsw. I crawled closer until a 20in or so margTE showed himself broadside. I aimed and squeezed the trigger. The shaft hit the margate mid body and he started flipping around on the reef top for a few seconds. Then all of a sudden a BIG green moray lunged out from under the reef and grabbed my fish and tried to pull the fish down into his hole. The fish was midway on the spear and the moray couldn't pull the fish in. The moray vishiously thrashed the fish and spear around trying toi get the fish down into his hole in the reef. I'm on the surface trying to get a plan to gert my spear and fish
free of the moray. This tug of war went on for about 2-3 minutes.
All of a sudden a

Congratulations scott and sdeisen. "Fish r gonna die"
Thanks LunkerBuster for your generosity.

This weather sucks :angry5:
The last day we speared was 4-4-10 :@
Right now the seas look to be 5', wind is 18mph out of the North, it is so foggy an raining that you can't see the water past 100yd off the shore and the water is brown :@

I say we sacrifice a VIRGIN to the wind god <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

(anyone know a virgin in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale?)

LunkerBuster---Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.
What I meant to say was to use the second lens housing ring/gasket to hold a clear poly lens against the existing GoPro lens.
Would that work instead of having to remanufacture the second clear lens housing?

scott and sdeisen have secrets <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Maybe I can draw them out with this post

I'm hoping that this may be of some help with the extra lens addition solution.
Maybe this could work by using longer screws and putting a second lens cover over the existing housing lens cover. In other words, doubling up the housing lens covers.
This kit retails for $19.99 from GoPro <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Let me know what you think.

Bummer, thanks for doing this research Hau, those pipes are disgusting and I dont want to be anywhere near them :@

LunkerBuster---
1. "disgusting"==I agree 100%
2. "I don"t want to be anywhere near them" ==I agree 100%, but a pollution "boil" 800yds wide starting at Miami and flowing South to North is impossible for a shore/yak spearo NOT to be swimming in North of the South most pipe.

I'll post back here about these pipes as I gain intel.
Thanks to all who contribute to this information

Quote from Fletch

I'm really looking forward to seeing the results. I just bought a NEW GoPro HD a few weeks ago and I am planning to put a PT-044 lens ontop of my housing if it all works out.

Paying $260 just for the camera itself is crazy..I only payed $213 shipped to my door and that included the motor sport package.

One question- How did you remove the additional lens from the Housing?
This is the on I have:

Fletch---congrats on the new camera.:) Could you give us the information where to buy the HD GoPro for $213.???
I too am VERY interested in this Greekdiver/seaweed GoPro invention
Thanks Fletch !!
