Ireland Spearing 2012

[plbenza]

Went to allihies with rob and the women Saturday. We were lucky with the weather the Saturday but not so lucky the Sunday. Only got the one dive in but we ate and drank plenty.
Got crab, a bag of scallops and 5 pollock between 3&5lb. Water was 11 degrees. Swam for 2/3 hours. 14M deepest dive. Viz 7/8M.
Sunday morning the wind turned southerly and picked up to f4/5 and pissing rain so we called it and drove on. View attachment 35070View attachment 35071

Hi folks
been a long time since i went on this hope yous all had a good summer/autumn/winter , i know i had. just on asking your expert advice on wetsuits for spearfishing and do's and donts ?

Thanks
Ryan

I highly recommend these Custom Wetsuits for Spearfishing, Scuba, Triathlon | Oceanos Wetsuits made to measure at 189usd.. been using mine for 2 seasons and have never been cold in it.... think it took less than a month to be delivered too...i went with the high waist rather than long john, only reason is if you wanna pee you dont have to take the top off unless you wanna pee in the wetsuit, fine if your into that thing.... best of luck

brillant thanks lads il look into both what price is a good one that will last and in terms of fitting what is the story on getting fitted? not talking about the custom one at the mo.

 

[kookiebrew]

if you get an off the peg wetsuit most sites have a measuring chart, myself and my bro measured each other for ours, both fit like gloves and it was the same price for a custom fit with oceanos...

just a few clips i put together from the spring this year, any comments on how to improve more than welcome (apart from having fish being caught ) thanks again for the help on wetsuits looking at them now,
