Sporasub Mystic, extremely low volume and very comfortable for me. May not be the same case for everyone, but its worth looking at.

Does anyone know what part of Mexico the first video was shot in?
Nvm, saw in the details of one vid said the Carribean Sea.

Funny you should mention this Judah. I learned in my PFI class this week that it is actually the membranes and muscles behind my ear that were getting inflamed and blocking the passage of air from the eustachain tubes and through the eardrum.
Only antinflammatory drugs like ibuprofen have been able to clear them.
I went to the Nationals tournament in Arkansas this past year, got some ear aches fromt he fresh water that lasted about a week after the tourney when i got home. Ever since then equalization has been progressively getting worse until its forced me to stopped diving completely (for now :rolleyes1:). However, when i do dive like is said, i'm fine for about 3 hours and then bam, ears are locked up and thats it. So i think within those 3 hrs, my tubes are getting more and more irritated until they inflame and completely close. I went to the ENT about a month ago and he gave me Cephalexin (antibiotic) to try and clear up any infection. He really didn't tell me anything at all and seemed like he had no idea what he was talking about. Today i went to my primary physician and he believes i never had any infection and believes there is no scar tissue that could've been built up and preventing me from equalizing as some people were telling me. He said that he believes there is fluid in my middle to inner ear and he prescribed me something (ill mention the name later, cant remember) to dry up and get all of the fluid out. Maybe equalizing and moving this fluid around is irritating my tubes and causing the issue.? Who knows..Have to take this once a day for 30 days. He also recommended a good ENT, im going to set up an apt. tomorrow.
Ben do you still have equalization problems? Do you take ibuprofen before every dive? Does it work?

For $12 im sure its worth a try. Just be very careful on the descent, and always make sure that they are not clogged. For someone who has been having a lot of equalization problems, i think i will try them when i get back in the water.The doctor says i have fluid inside of my ears thats supposedly causing me equalization problems....who knows, but im getting tired of diving three hours and then my ears just locking up....

Dan, is there any way you could get this stuff in thinner diameter? I really like my reel line to have memory.

Very Nice Dan!

One of my Gro Pro mounts will be a old gun handle for some shots.:D;) Stereo...
Cheers, Don
Greta idea!

That would be great for spearfishing if your videoing someone else. I will most likely be getting one for this. But, its not really necessary with a head mount or gun cam. I think it would use a considerable amount of battery.

Awesome pics! Look at the size of those Dam shrimp!!!

Looks pretty cool, how much are they going to be?

Last time i used a silicone synthetic lubricant and it worked really good.

U have to make sure the drill bit doesn't get to hot or it will shatter. You probably need to slow down a bit and maybe add some oil.
Thats what i did the first time, yesterday i was just rushing it.

Nice!
Can you please describe in detail what you did? Did the bit piece just fall out from the vibration?
I put the jig in a vice, broken bit side face down. Then just lightly tapped the end of the shaft with a hammer switching from side to side, maybe 5-10 taps per side, periodically checking for pieces coming out of the hole, which they did. I pulled these little pieces out when i could. Finally the shaft came free. There is a little damage to the inside of the jig and the shaft hole isn't very round. However, a round file will work for the jig and i think the shafts damage is just cosmetic.

That worked!!
Thanks Don, you da man! :thumbsup2::thumbsup2::thumbsup2:
