Hello my friend and welcome to DUBAI... I use three suits in DUBAI over the year:

1- Skin suit for summer time.
2- 3.5 mm Suit for winter time.
3- 1.5 mm suit for period in between autumn and spring.

All best

Maybe i did not visit the mall in long time in DUBAI sorry for that :(

I thought Gulf Marine Sports was located in abu dhabi....

They had one in DUBAI and as Sarah mentioned it is closed months ago!!

Your chance is to get it from Abu Dahbi from Hayari Sub and Crist pole spears are the best...
 
Gulf Marine Sports has Crist pole spears....

Hayaari Sub has Gat-Ku pole spears

ill be getting an 8 footer either way....but dont know which one to get....watcha guys think? Gat-Ku...or...Crist :)
 
Hi.. Im Hayaari Sub,

i carry both... I have Crist pole spears right now.... Im out of stock from Gat Ku.

Both r completely different polespears so u cant really ask the guys what u need to get.

one is lighter and morse nimble which is good for smaller ref fish (Gat Ku)
the other is much more robust and will shoot both small and big fish without worrying about breaking it.

Ive used both and loved both, but personally i stick with the Crist.

Iv shot with it every species that i shoot with a speargun.. from snappers to trevallies to even a spanish mackie!

Anyways my .02 cents

Speero/hayaari sub...nice to meet you

I will be hunting fish in reef and open water. I will be shooting fish from 3 - 25 pounds ranging from holed up grouper to kingfish.

Do you recommend a Gat Ku (if you will be getting some in the future) or Crist for me?

Ive been using 8 foot pole spears here in Florida...but have visited and spearfished in dubai and i think i might need something shorter in the reefs and rocky bottoms for better maneuverability...Maybe a 6 foot??

Can you ship to dubai? or have a branch or contact there?

thanks
