Welcome!

Truly beautiful work Don. Any concern that the thermal expansion of the aluminum barrel might crack the epoxy? Or did your "Suburban" treatment cure the epoxy with the barrel in its expanded state, so that the epoxy is always under comressive stress at any temperature lowere than what you cured at?

thanx tinu for the advice..I know the feeling when you cant enjoy your dive because of the jet skis and boats..it happened to me a couple of times ...It sucks really bad..like you said I had to keep my head out of the water to see jet skis..it difficult to hear them..thats why i did the big flag..what kind of accident did you have?..

Im glad they caught them..1 for being scuba divers spearfishers and 2 for killing endangered species..

some of my dive spots the boats pass far...only in one spot (and for my bad luck its the richest reef i spearfish) in saturdays and sundays you cant touch the water there are sooo many many jet skis and boats its scary lookin at them passing by from shore...

thanks for the advices guys..DAn I made one of my bodyboards a float with a big big flag..I use your bodyboards examples to build it cause of the drunk jet ski drivers..I really use and learn from the posts here..the bodyboard float is great i used it to rest and for the big flag but is not attached to my speargun ..I got some of the floats that dive shops sell with another flag attached to my speargun you know less drag i dont know if i spell that right...It got a line and in the end its a mares little purse (I found it in one of my dives in the bottom).. with weights in to keep the bodyboard steady so the current dont get it to far from me..Im always aware of the weather report for surfing and spearfishing so i try to go out in flat seas..Im going to start using the bodyboard float to keep the fish out of the water.. Kile C I beg because when I started I was scared like hell to be alone.. I call it begging but not in that way..its like will you go to the water with me?? something like that..i hate begging honestly..because in my first dives saw some very big sharks but that was years ago.. so now i got more expirience and im more confident on my skills...Lunkerbuster boats traffic here sometimes gets really heavy..thats why i build the float with a big flag...the flag is a top priority here..i use 2 flags imagine that..even with the flag the boats get close..with the little one..with both they see me from far distance thats somehow relaxing..:)BTW Dan the "just do it" was very encouraging Im not sure if that is the correct word in english..I felt pomped up!!..en espa-ol me senti bien pompiao!!..

I noticed some of you guys go spearfishing alone some times..Im lookin forward to it...Im so sick and f*ckin tired to beg some friends to dive with me..( and the shitty thing is that they r spearfishers too,they r too lazy you know college kids)its shore diving not deep.. I know the risk but what the hell...got no choice..so just wanted to hear some advices and important points on your solo dives..hau i know you dive alone sometimes for your daily reports..what do you guys recomend me?...

how many aj species do we have in puerto rico?.....I once speared a big one like that..the biggest catch in my life..I was beggining back then..the bad thing is that he was soo big that tear off my shaft from my shockline..man it was very very dissapointing..but good experienced and i learned a lot i mean a loot!..I watch my biggest catch swimming away with my shaft...I spend 3 months without spearing because didnt have the money to buy a shaft..I only have one speargun..you guys are privileged to have that arsenal...but i believe it was a horse eye jack..i have search and search for pics just never knew what kind of AJ was...that was the day I grow up as a spearfisher..( I know, how he can tear off the shockline? because it was some crappy knot I made, its an ab biller what do you expect!!,thats why i tell you guys I grow up as a spearfiherman)...I almost cry that day haha..

Thats what I noticed when I saw the riffe knife..sweet!!..I want one too..you can use it in your arm?

yeah!!! nice macks..sdeisen and seaweed I never seen more than 4 macks together...I wish I can see that...I ask because I heard florida and pr regulations are like the same in some ways..and I need to know because here in PR we have DRNA(departamento de recursos naturales)they are like cops from the nature..If they catch with fish undersize they really f*&% you up...No disrespect for your catches..I just ask when Im in doubt haha a lot of times...sdeisen I have seen some freediving watches really cheap in e-bay you should take a look..I was lookin at them and great prices..Im lookin forward to it after i buy a pursuit wetsuit !!!..BTW the knife looks great too..

ohh marco your kids playin soccer is great..hope they keep playing...I play almost every day..when im not diving or surfing of course..good sport for your lungs and resistant..im not missing the world cup for nothing in this world exept a good day and weather for spearfishing..

they dont have mack regulations in your area? I mean you can shoot whatever size is the mack?..

woww!! must be very big that mutton!!...so they r found on caves like pargos?(snapers) I have seen them but not vey much in shallow waters..(south side)

hahahaha i knew it!!...I mean wtf! dude what straight man sings about" livin la vida LOCA"...in my country "loca" means like gay...hes puerto rican to so..I bet his fan girls are really pissed..I got some female friends from childhood that would kill for that man..BTW monster didnt see you in some time here I was missin you comments haha!!...are you going to see fifa world cup or not a fan from mexico national team?
