Re: beginner blue water hunter



Thanks for the reply.

I meant "put my back to the current".

Floats are very important. ALL your floats should be from high density foam or else they'll simply get crushed when a fish pulls your kit under.
Do you think polystyrene is ok (or maybe cork)? Because unfortunately, foam isn't sold any more in Tunisia.

Can two floats (4L and 11L) without bungee do the job if for example a 50kg tuna was shot ?
NO. If the water is deep, wave good-bye to your gear!!!!
So what volume would you advise?
I've heard of guys hunting in spain with four 25L floats. Isn't that a bit much? Or should one simply get as big a float volume as possible (dividing it into many floats, the smaller floats first)?

Is a 15 to 25m dive, for a total of 2 to 2.5 minutes enough for this kind of hunting?
Hell, i wish i had a 2.5minute bottom time!!!!!
Total time, not bottom time unfortunately. And I'm more often between 1'50 and 2'15.
