Is this post for real??
Are you actually saying you plan on trying to shoot (and land) bluefin tuna and Mako Sharks?
Cause if you are I would strongly urge that you do not. Those are considered BIG Game and you will need extremely robust equipment, floats, terminal tackle etc. You will also need...
Dr. Miller,
I believe your article may be slightly dated and not necessarily indicative of nomenclture currently in use in the South East U.S. or even as defined by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) anymore.
The article also does not describe one of the most commonly used devices reffered...
Dumpsterdiver covered things pretty well but I will add that blanks are loaded to a far lesser pressure than a standard round and there isnt really a good way of sealing blanks very well for underwater use.
As far as sharks?
If you have to "get real" with a shark it will occur faster than you...
Powerheads are not illegal in most waters but are in some.
Having said that I can tell you the market is absolutely saturated here in Florida with both reuseable and disposable Personal protection devices (PPD's) powerheads/ bangsticks etc...
There are many types and brands of good spearguns out there. What is more important is the type of diving you will be doing, where you will be doing it and what type of fish will you be after?

The best scuba gun for a beginner is a wood AB biller style gun 48-52". They can be bought relatively cheap on craigslist, ebay, or one of the forums.
They can be rigged for freeshafting or lineshafting. You may also wish to look at one of the dedicated spearfishing forums like spearboard or...
Up for sale is an XL size EDGE-Monarch/hybrid weight integrated BC.
It is brand new with price tags of $449.98 still on it.
It has two tank straps.
Do not confuse this with the "Medium" Edge monarch BC that is advertised all over the internet. They must have made a billion of those things in...
I cant see any disadvantage to using them. Thye are generally designed for use in high current demand devices.
One of the downsides to those type rechargeables is that they will lose there charge simply sitting around doing nothing. I believe the last technical piece I read said that they can...
Excellent advice! Couldnt have said it any better.
I home brew and know 4 other groups of people who home brew as well.
I havent heard/had any problems.
The only thing I would add is to check the inside's of your tanks on a regular basis for rust and/or contaminants.
Ive mentioned this to...
I dont believe there is such a thing as a "bad" regulator. Certainly there are some that are better than others.
But, I dont believe that any manufacturer could manufacture and sell a life sustaining device that doesnt work well.;)
We were about 25 miles due west of Sarasota.
A strange thing I noticed was the surface water temp we were swimming (with the sharks) was exceedingly hotter than the area around it.
