    Speargun Hunter TV series on the Outdoor Channel

    i was kinda glad to see them feeding bonito to cudas, as a hook and line fisherman as well, im tired of those damn things! good episode last monday night, (1/15) id like to see another camera man in the water as well, i think the footage would be better. A few times, they have shot fish...

    Need speargun recommendation

    not to be sarcastic, but seriously, do you guys really think a gun like a 48" biller is a useless p.o.s. that will be outdated and/or outgrown quickly? Depending on where you hunt (obviously not bluewater with that gun) i think its a pretty darn good gun, and any spearfisherman knows that the...

    Speargun Hunter TV series on the Outdoor Channel

    i think its a pretty good idea for a show. id really like to see a little more action (the last drop they just showed some friggin nurse sharks sitting on the sand) and i think they should include tips and instruction. Stalkin tips, gear tips, etc.

    Need speargun recommendation

    i dont know that one can consider a Riffe or a Wong a "beginner" gun. ya you can buy a great gun and keep it for years, but those guns cost alot of money and i personally dont think they are reasonable recommendations to someone who wants to "try spearfishing" on a vacation.

    Need speargun recommendation

    AB Biller 48" mahogany, probably one of the best guns you can get for under $200 (dive shops sell them for $250-$270, but leisure pro has them for $190). That gun will give you the range/power you need to shoot just about anything a beginner is looking to take in that area (i wouldnt use it...

    Latest scoop on hookah systems?

    Divers using a hookah rig really need to realize that its just as dangerous and carries all the risks that diving does (if not more due to a common lack of redundancy). I find the hookah rig to be GREAT in SHALLOW water. I would never dive one deep, because i just dont see a reason to. You...

    Canon PowerShots vs. Sony CyberShots ?

    I just got the Sony DSC-N2 for Christmas with the MarinePak housing. The Sony also has an "underwater mode" in that you select Housing "on" or "off." I dont know what that will mean for the pics as I just got it. Im hoping to get underwater with it soon (i live in FL so as soon as my boat...

    Latest scoop on hookah systems?

    I love hookah diving. I find it especially convenient when lobstering. You have an unlimited air supply and basically unlimited bottom time (when diving SHALLOW). The engine failure doesnt even bother me because doing an emergency swimming ascent in 20ft. is not too scary (i've done it when...

    A regular diving day, what to bring?

    i gotta second the water/gatorade suggestions, very important to have. (my instructor told me that if you dont piss yourself on a dive, then you didnt drink enough water beforehand) i also like to bring some cut up watermelon/pineapple/grapes, etc. ive found em to be better snacks to eat on a...

    Nitrox Diving

    Yes, Nitrox can extend your bottom time, however seeing as you are a new diver, you are likely consuming air too fast for it to matter right now. I certainly could be wrong. Nitrox comes in hand when you are maxing out your bottom time and wish you could stay down longer.

    Need Help From the Orlando Locals

    I got certified at Scuba Quest in Altamonte Springs. I thought the staff did a good job while I was there however they never sent me my C-card and I had to chase them for over 1 year for it. The lazy &%$! never sent in the paper work and then quit. I had to sit in the water in the Caymans...

    Triple L Gemini Bc? Like, Dislike, Opinion

    Hey, I cant specifically comment on the Gemini, however I dive their Stratos model and I have had no complaints thus far. Seems like a great BC and I picked it up brand new directly from them for a fraction of the price of the competition. good luck

    Troubleshooting a Reg

    I have just purchased a Dacor Viper America. Today i jumped in my pool to make sure everything was working and I had a problem with the regulator leaking. It would leak out of either the exhaust port or the mouthpiece depending on which was higher. This leak was not like a free flowing...

    lobstering from shore in the keys

    lobstering within 300 yards of shore is now illegal in the keys, might wanna be careful doing something like that because FL Keys law enforcement does not play around.
