    Difference between a $250 Mako ETR and the $1200 Wood rail guns?

    Most of the wood guns are enclosed track = more accurate. Waterboy offers a good summary of other attributes. You can get a nice Koah wood gun for half the $1200 you quoted.

    Is Spearboard not taking new members?

    SpearMax runs the site, sometimes it takes him a while to get to new account activations. I sent him a PM letting him know that he has at least one waiting. SpearfishingPlanet.com is also a good forum, although I think for South Florida you'll find more activity on Spearboard. Good luck.

    Fatality off of Oak Island - North Carolina

    Not a lot of info out there, but my understanding is that the group was diving the "meg ledge" (110-120 ft. ledge where they find megaladon teeth). Some darn good spearfishing out that way too.

    How to rig a BCD for spearfishing?

    ^^X2^^ Use 2 wraps of heavy mono line and keep it to that. Any more line than that will cost you time and cause you danger. You can clip the stringer to your hip, but once you have a fish on it don't ever clip it to you, either carry it along or send it up on a float sausage. I carry 3...

    headaches

    More good info. In talking to him, he doesn't take the immitrex after diving (turns out he does get migraines at other times and does take it then). He takes propanol (or something like that) that supposedly constricts the blood vessels to relieve the migraine. I'll mention opening up the...

    headaches

    Thanks guys. I spoke with my friend this evening (actually attended a DAN meeting together) and he's also thinking CO2 buildup is the culprit. Probably explains why he's the best spearo among us... silent killer. Guess for now I just need to emphatically remind him before every dive to...

    headaches

    Almost all of us get fills from the same shop, and he's the only one affected. Also, most of us used to use a different shop up to a couple of years ago and back then he had the same problem and we didn't, so at least the circumstantial evidence would suggest the fills are ok. ---------- Post...

    headaches

    Apologies up front if this subject has been covered before, I didn't find it here. I dive with a regular crew of spearfishermen. One of the guys (really, it's not me) who happens to be the best spearo ends up with really bad migraine headaches after almost every dive. Here are general...

    Sorry guys, this thread went a while without a response, so I haven't checked ScubaBoard in a few days. I still have the tanks. Someone else PM'd me with an offer. I responded to their PM and will give that a couple of days to see if they are still interested -- will update this thread with...

    Coast Guard, good Samaritan rescue divers near Beaufort, NC

    Well stated, thought I'd chime in with an example. On our last dive trip, we were spearfishing and "live boating" (ie. not anchored up, using a float jug to mark the ledge). I came up about 30 feet behind the boat. They saw me, but when they went to turn toward me the hydraulic steering went...

    Hawaii - Diagnosis and Firmware v0.60

    The PLB saved him, the Nautilus Lifeline did not work. From the boat captain's post: "He tried the the lifeline but it was not working, testing now if it was charged. The FastFind is the one that saved our butts. Spend the extra cash and have one or both of these. "
