Olie,

Welcome to DB. After reading all the replys to the your question, have you noticed one common factor in them all. BAD IDEA!! This coming from divers from all different parts of the world and of all different levels. Now if this many different people can agree on the same thing dont you think it might be advise worth taking.

I am sure you are in well enough shape and it reads as though that you have had other water / ocean experiance but the challanges that spearfishing can bring change each trip, and seeing as you mentioned that you had a little over a month the get some work in with a speargun? Not enough time.

I am always ready for the next big adventure too but please take some advise from this forum, not just the advice on equipment and techniques but SAFETY as well.

Good Luck

Joel
