I like both free diving and scuba. I love spearfishing and fishing. I being spearfishing for a long time but don't consider myself a expert. After reading many posts on this forums from other guys, I realize how much i still need to learn about spearfishing. I use a pneumatic mares cyrano. Contrary to other people I tried going from pneumatic to rubber bands but I didn't like it. I prefer pneumatic guns. I look forward to learning from you guys and contribute to this forum in the future any way i can. Thanks
What do you prefer about the pneumatics? I haven't tried one myself, but people do tend to develop a preference.
Have you found some local dive buddies? We have a USA/Canada Regional subforum if you'd like to look around or post in there. We've had a number of Florida residents as members over the years, so it could be worth a look.

To me it felt easier and quicker to load the pneumatic vs. the rubber band. A friend gave me a JBL as a gift. it was a nice gun but i just used it a couple of times and went back to my old cyrano. I know that pneumatics are suppose to lose power at depths and that's why many people prefer rubber bands but i really never being down deeper than 60'. A guy in the local shop told me that now, people are using some type of gas that is supposed to be denser than air and the guns do not lose that much power. I would like to know which type of gas it is they are using. I will ask in the speargun section. I usually dive with my fishing/dive buddies. We are all family. But thanks for the invite, I will keep in mind.
