Bad practice mateI've made it home for decades.
If you ask me a better line would be dive with a stranger & double the danger?
Firstly i cannot speak for people with loaded guns on the group,Personal responsibility - I think it's something that's been forgotten these days.
Can I ask - how long have you been spearfishing? In the 70s and 80s lots more people spearfished and very often alone. I seriously dont know of any blackout deaths, or in fact any deaths?
I was a member of your group but was put off by so many videos of a loaded speargun being pointed at people just to make a video- that my friend is very bad practice but each to their own. Just spare the lectures to old guys who have probably been spearfishing since before you were born.

That was quite funny but keep if friendly/respectful chaps. Different strokes for different folks an' all that.
Hi Nicko, I saw a couple of your posts, I too am not sure what the policy is on FB these days so I am checking on that.
@nicko2k1 - my issue here is that you are using our member base to promote your FB group to. So far you've promoted on two different threads (here and Dorset thread). I am not a member of your FB group but if I joined would I see reciprocal posts about forum threads or articles from DB in your group?
Correct my issue is using DB as a platform to promote a competing service (in this case on Facebook) in multiple posts. I am not drawing judgement on anything else as I have not had any reported posts.
I have applied to your FB forum/group so will see if you accept me.
Many thanks!

Sorry Nick, I prefer to think of myself as more upper middle class but that's not relevant nor something I have any particular issue about.
I have met many United spearfishing members in my spearfishing travels and have no issue with your group but I obviously have a very different outlook to you about personal choice and safety.
Diving alone when new to spearfishing is dangerous and very bad practice.Giday Lads how's the old dart treating you. I'm a proud and well bread convict. In response to the nay sayers regarding diving alone. If I had a dollar for every time Ive done it I could buy friends. There is a chance that a buddy could be helpfull in the extremely unlikely event of SWB but if I chose to do I don't need others to tell me its dangerous or irresponsible because its not. If it was there would be a law against it like wearing a helmet on a push bike. But in saying that if you want dive with a buddy that's fine, see the difference ?. I take more precautions than most, don't push my boundaries and don't try to bust my lungs, so when am I blacking out. and Mr X, Luv your work. Cheers
