I'm after getting a speargun and a wetsuit.
I'm still thinking about which one should I get and still negotiating with some shops
But I decided I would get Omer master comp 5mm or Omer New Team competition 5mm.

What gun r u buying?

My friend has the New Team and it is very fragile. Don't even want to think about the Master Comp. I am a bit of a brute underwater though and need a nylon covered suit.

The second is the one my friend has. It has more glue than neoprene now. Ruined a days dive for him as he ripped the hood with his thumbs when putting the hood over his head. He had his gloves on at the time. If you want a smoothskin and can afford it the Cressi Team is the dogs *******s. That for me is the Benchmark smoothskin suit (Haven't seen Elios suits though)
