You can download the operating handbook for the "ONEAIR" as an Acrobat pdf file, titled "Sporasub ONEAIR_rev1". Revision 1 as there have been some changes (like now there are no "red" stickers!). Instead you get this warning.

Guys, my salvimar voutos are still going strong and consistently surprise and impress my with their versatility, ease of use and performance. If you get one remember to get some spare gaskets (particularly if you shoot 8mm spears), and consider a SS line slider if shooting big fish or in caves / around rocks.
They are simple, made tough (glassfibre reinforced nylon parts) and made in italy.
I just purchased a 70 online and am awaiting delivery. I'll report back when I get my grubby hands on it.I hope that "FLOAT ONE AIR" now comes packaged with each new 2017 year model gun, but maybe it should be fitted as standard. I note that the 50 cm version of the gun is still listed. Has anyone here purchased one?

I have a 50cm One Air, it's pretty awesome! My only real complaint with the 50 & 70 is they are negatively buoyant with a reel.
Thanks PeteYou can see the transverse hole in the front line wrap hook in the side profile view of the gun shown in the 2016 Sporasub catalog, once you magnify the image.
Many years ago Mares made all their "Sten" models floaters by creating a sealed hollow in the grip handle and closing it off with a butt plate that was retained in place by a metal rod with a screw thread and cylindrical nut. A gasket made the butt plate watertight and the cylindrical nut had a hole drilled through it for a tethering line. Later on Mares just used a self-tapping screw to hold the butt plate in position and then as a cost reduction measure left the grip handles open to flooding which meant that their shortest models became sinkers. I have often wondered why manufacturers don't return to using a buoyancy element in the handle grip space, although this may mean changing the internal frame of their handles. On a long gun there is more than enough buoyancy available from the tank, so this really only applies to medium and short models.I managed to get my 70 to float with a reel by putting on the floaty muzzle and putting foam into the skeleton of the handle. Thats just enough to float it without the shaft
