Re: Spearo's in Dubai come here!

guys, looks like you're having a blast. i feel (fatherly urge, sorry) the need to give one tip a lifetime of safe shooting has taught me:
Always imagine your gun to be loaded. ALWAYS. that means NEVER point it at anyone, unloaded or not. Teach your friends that too. I see so many spearos pointing their guns everywhere because they *think* its unloaded, and it *probably* is. but go one better:
ALWAYS TREAT YOUR GUNS AS THOUGH THEY WERE LOADED.

good hunting!

and watch out for those cressi wishbones if they slip out of the knot while ur loading ur gun they will cut you to the bone .. trust me

and if ur going to start freediving with weights dont make the mistake of buying a scuba weightbelt it will come up to ur chest when u dive even if you tighten it .. try to get ur hands on a rubber belt and start off with only 2kgs

yep if ur overweighted ok u will sink like a rock and save alot of oxygen but you risk blackout because you will have to work VERY hard to get back to the surface ...

the perfect weight is a weight that makes you neutrally buoyant to 10-15 feet and negetivly buoyant under 15 feet .. so under 15 feet you should be able to decend slowly without finning

Re: Spearo's in Dubai come here!

Hmm i will have to keep an eye out for that wishbone do you know of any shops in Dubai that sell them? cheers
after i killed my finger i went back into the water of course thats my commitment to my m8s i was looking on the nat and saw you can get darcon wishbones that usually can hold up to about 1000lbs for a string..that is pretty damn good!
