I do know someone who has been to the shop and they said the same thing.
Might be worth a day trip this year then.
Lazuli i think they must grow and tap the trees themselves as the quality is very good.
They are easier to load than say...Cressi G20 rubbers but pack more punch.
I have more than once taken the head clean off a mullet or pollock with my 90cm gun.
My 75cm gun put the spear straight through the shoulder/head area on my 11lb bass.
That's what you want. easy to load lots of power:martial

Wow recommendation's from Don Paul and Spaghetti
I knew i was buying the right kit
I only recommend bits of a kit that have produced hi performance for me.
Expect what you inspect.
Cheers, Don Paul
Worth a look at what Apnea say. https://www.apnea.co.uk/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=26&products_id=1242 . New stock arriving in March. Prices seem to indicate pre-made bands with screw ends but they list bulk as being available. Worth another look next month or maybe an email.

Ive always liked the look of the dessault gear
there Cabon 90 looks sweet and at £167 its not going to break the bank
https://www.apnea.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=1_17&products_id=1236

Oh come on Mr Scottwilson you know i have one:inlove:inlove:inlove:inlove
The gun is very well balanced.
Easy to track with.
Built in rail makes the gun super accurate and quite.
The carbon is very rugged and has survived some scary moments getting in and outrofl
The safety catch is well placed so if your hand is off the back of the handle then the safety is on.
A very simple back to basics design thats well built.
The standard shark fin spears are easy to use and again very strong.
I also have the standard ali gun and it has all the features of the carbon just in ali.
It would take a gun of unbeleiveable quality and performance to make me change.:inlove

OH GOD!!!!!! I see another gun winging its way to my house in the next couple months roflroflrofl I blame you glowworm
Mart in a short length like 75cm, carbon won't make that much difference in my opinion.
With a 90cm it makes the balance and tracking ability so much easier than ali.
The weight difference helps on longer dives too.
Come on Mr Wilson you need one brother
Old Man Dave i don't think your right but i will try to find someone who has an Omer XXV Gold 90 and do a comparision.
Is not half the battle believing that what you have is the best

The suits are very good.
I have an Xtend suit which has 4.5mm long johns and 5mm jacket.
The neoprene is very soft and stretchy which is a blessing and a curse.
My suit has lasted 2 seasons and is now finished.
At that price i have this time ordered a different make of suit
You can look on youtube for the Team Dessault videos.
Some very good spearos and footage.

Thanks for the heads up Glowworm! I sure hope they will offer the Dessault bands in bulk. These were the best bands I ever used.
I was introduced to these bands at Bruno Hermany's dive shop in Rio (he was a 2 time world spearfishing champion from Brazil -- the third athlete on Cressi's spearfishing site) back in the late 80s. I still clearly remember him bringing them out from the back room saying they were the very best there were.
Unfortunately I had to go back to the amber bands later as the Dessaults were hard to get back then... I guess they are still hard to get nowadays too!
Don Paul, do you know how do the American Primeline black bands compare to the Dessaults? I hear the Primeline black bands are good but have never had a chance to try them as I currently use RA bands.
Thanks,
Claudio

I use rubber from Mori and Riffe when I cant get the Dessault. I used to do a lot of testing but my fingers can't handle any bands over 130#s on my game gun.I do believe many builders use Primeline.
