Thanks guys, thats the trick I'm told, to lower the barrel, as well as even lock the end of the barrel between your fins before you 'lean back to load'.

Will try it later today !!!

PS, I dived for 2 hrs, too scared to try a 'lucky' shot in case I ended up with an unloaded gun and no assistance.
On my LAST DIVE before calling it a day, a nice Blacktail bream cruised past a way off, nothing to lose, so I fired !! New gun, 1 shot, 1 fish !!! Very chuffed!!
