You were sinking like a rock on those deeper dives. <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">

Congrats!

beautiful catch..that mutton close up is very nice
You can see my hardtop on the reflection of the eye.

Big ass mutton which can be regularly caught in the tortugas

Went out of Lighthouse Point with Kris, and Davie. We decided to work our way North. The seas were calm, vis was decent and water was warm. You could sometimes see bottom in 60ft. I saw a few lobsters and missed a black. I also shot a tortugas mutton in Boca.
6 muttons
1 yellowjack
1 mango

I can tell you right now that deep freedivers don't use only their calf muscles to surface from deep dives. Just one example would be Martin Stepanek. He uses a lot more than his calf muscles, and I guarantee his finning is pretty efficient.
-
I think larger slow kicks are more efficient coming up from depth since you are negative. When your fin is bending, you are moving. Where short kicks back and forth are not efficient because of less bend in blade.
my 2 cents

Dan,
You forgot Jim and Davie <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">

Davie, how long is the drive from your place to Marathon?
sorry but that is 3 amigo territory only :nono:

thats an awesome 1/2 day!

i use black silicone. Works great! Im sure 5200 and 4200 work great too. I would try out 4200 first in black of course.
You never need to use screws. :nono:

I love Jim's Myspace Pose! <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">
AJ was shot in 20ft of water under the boat when i jumped in.

i wonder if using silicone orings without oil actually increase the velocity of the spear by 15%. That sounds a lot compared to the normal orings with oil.

When i begin mi ascend, i feel a bit awkward when i start to kick back to the surface, cause my knees and fins are laying flat on the rocks and i waste some precious moments to get the fins stroke on, some times i have to push the rock/bottom with my hands, any advice?
Use your gun to push off bottom. Dont kick off the bottom. Your fins could break if you have carbons. I think fiberglass will not break.
-
Carbon fins will always be the best. They are lighter and more responsive. Think about how much weight difference there is between carbon and fiberglass. Then multiply it by how many fin strokes you have on a daily basis. That is a lot of extra weight!
The ideal carbon fin would be light, great on surface, and good for deep drops. Since most people don't dive past 30m, you really don't need a stiff fin. Your technique will be more important than the stiffness of your carbon fin.

spearos---the pneumatics are starting to sound too complicated / technical for me. Maybe I should just stick to my rubberbands and piece of pipe
Once I get the second band rest pin drilled into the top of the shaft 18in. back from the muzzle I'll be happy with my [POS] RA set-up.
I imagine it will not be easy drilling the RA shaft for a small pin. I have a Harbor Freight bench type drill press. Anyone ever drilled and pinned a RA shaft before? Pargo suggested a carbide bit. I know I have seen some of the shafts that straight shaft makes that are drilled and pinned. Any experianced suggestions please?Edit--thanks to everyone for their assistance about pneumatics
Davie and i drilled a rob allen shaft like we were drilling wood! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
