Martin Stepanek and Herbert Nitsch are much better divers

I think a very common swb occurs when you are diving almost near your max comfortable depth and you shoot a fish or something happens that causes you to be a bit more excited than normal. You realize that you are low on air or you used a bit too much of it. You are feeling really deprived from O2 like you have never felt before. You start to panic and causing you to swim faster to surface. Then you blackout.
I think with more experience and knowing your body you are likely to stay more relaxed instead of letting panic take over. Maybe the SWB in this case would turn into a safe surface or a controllable light samba.
I do think swb can happen to both type of divers. Novice to expert.
They look like Tilapia but obviously they are not.
Here is a Tilapia picture
Davie the is the Tilapia king! When i told Davie there was a bullshark underneath the weeds and he ran on top of the water with his Tilapia! <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">
With all that Gatorade and water he drank, he was well insulated! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
115cm asso tovarich (25 Bar) with 9/32 shaft is probably the fastest shooting shaft i have used. It would reach the end of the mono super fast. Everything else just seems slow after shooting that gun. My Denton shoots pretty fast but not as fast. A railgun feels like slow motion.
I use 2 bluetops and i got them from Costco. I think they are great and i would buy them again.
4 stroke or 2 stroke?
Nice groupers! 
I'm at work so i cant. But mine does reset when you load the shaft.
Actually i just found one on abellan site.
One wrap isn't long enough unless you are shooting a 130cm or over. Imo, 130cm is too damn long unless you are shooting bluewater.
I don't see the benefit or why this type of line release. I didn't think there was any problems with normal style line releases.
Are you loading a band on that last notch where the line goes? Or is that just for the line?
I have shot a lot of fish from the boat in Virginia. Lots of spadefish and cobia from the boat and one Sheepshead by accident.
My gun floats with shaft in. I didn't like it at first, but now that i'm used to it, i prefer it. My gun floats all the way down to 95ft. I let it go and it comes up slowly. I am sure it floats deeper too. I cannot tell a difference when firing at all. If you want to let go of the gun on the surface to readjust your weight belt, mask, or simply need 2 hands to do something, it will float. It's really cool to know that i will never lose my gun from it sinking. Sometimes i remove the fish from the shaft and just throw the shaft back into the water and the gun will still float. I just jump back in the water and reel up the line.
I do not think its dangerous because i point the gun in the direction nobody is. And i do think a floating gun is not good for lobstering.
Great shooting on those deep fish, It look's like Dan's rubber is really getting the job done.
It's nice that divers who know how to get max performance out of their bands.
Please safe in that structure.What mask is that Harry?
All the best, Don
Cressi Matrix
21/22 inches with short wishbones.
Some quality fish there, congratz.
And on the bands you sold me!!! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> It's good stuff!
Freediving 70ft to 100ft most of the day.
Had a great day with my best friend Davie. My grouper was shot in 75ft on a long shot. I had to aim for the body because of the distance of the shot. There were 2 swimming together, and i shot the bigger one. The fish fought a bit, but i horsed him up so he wouldn't hole up.
I dropped down on this wreck, and i saw this Cubera hauling ass. I wasn't close enough to take a shot so i went back up. I decided check deep into the wreck to see where he was at. I took my time on the surface and went down to take a look. I get into the wreck and its pretty dark. I wait for my eyes to adjust and i see 2 Jews and then the Cubera. I slowly aim my gun and fire away. The fish goes nuts and exits the wreck and goes all the way around to the other side. I grab my 2nd gun for jobs like this, 100cm pneumatic, and i go down and place a second shot. I had to cut my mono on my primary gun to untangle the mess.
Cobia was shot at 85ft next to a massive ray.
King Mackerel was shot at 95ft.
