Hey Cubapnea,
That is a cool name!
A medium will fit you fine in the torso, but I am not sure about the arms. One of the guys here in our showroom, Brad, is about the same size and he fits in a size medum just fine. If by chance, it does not fit, I am happy to pay for the return shipping and I will also cover the cost to ship another size to you.
If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
In closing, I want to thank you very much for your interest in our products.

Dear Ryddragyn,
That is not a tough question at all. However, there are matters that I prefer not to discuss in public. I hope you understand. I can say, that almost 3 years ago, I was given the license to sell these grips in the USA. Why I was given the license in the USA instead of any other company, was a decision made by the owner and manufacturer of the grips. It was a decision that he felt was best for him.
thanks,
dano

Hi Dano. im playing with the idea of getting the predator in perhaps a 140, blue mimetic.
the options are either that or a rob allen. now ive used a rabitech, heck i own 3, and i just wanted to know three main things:
1-any performance difference between mako and rabitech open muzzles? they look just a fraction different.
2-any difference in overall performance? your rail seems to be just 1 or 2mm higher than rabitech barrels.. maybe its just my imagination
3- carbon barrels?
4- do you ship international on large orders? say perhaps that id be willing to pay through wire transfer and take responsability for extra shipping costs?

Hey Mishu1984,
Thank you very much for your interest in our products.
Regarding your question about the performance difference between the Mako and Rabitech open muzzles, I am not sure. The manufacturer of my grips also makes my muzzles and licenses them to other companies. Several companies, including Mako invested in the mold cavity and the design of our open muzzles which was a cooperative effort that reduced production costs. It was a win win for everybody involved. Outside of my involvement in the design and production of our open muzzles, I don't know who is doing what. I only know what we are doing. However, like Mako, I have no doubt that Rabitech will only have the best quality products produced for their guns.
Regarding the differnce, in the barrels, I don't know if there is or is not a difference. I can only speak for our products. My barrels are produced with a profile that matches the grips, trigger mechs and muzzles. As I mentioned, Rabitech is known for producing quality products so I am sure their barrels are also made to spec. with respect to the grips, trigger mech. and muzzles.
Regarding the carbon barrels, we do not yet offer a carbon barrel, but it is in our future plans.
Regarding the shipping of our guns and gun parts, I can ship to any area outside the USA with the exception of Australia, NZ and SA.
If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

how's it going dano!! i've just received the rashguard i ordered from you and is a perfect fit at medium!!... quick delivery and quality is very high...thanks for the mako cap ... looks great ... i look forward to be one of your customers. till next time buddy.
Hey Cubapnea,
I am glad it fit. And I am glad you received your order in a timely fashion. It has been quite a learning curve for us with respect to shipping. To some areas, it is best to ship UPS and others, it is best to ship USPS. I know that the USPS gets a bad rap, but sometimes they are pretty fast.
Hey thanks again for everything. I greatly appreciate having you as a Mako customer.

I've just ordered a 1.5 mm wetsuit and a matching color hood. Service is great. Since I have issues in paying thru credit cards and paypal, Dano was kind enough to go out his usual way of doin business and accomodate my payment thru Western Union. I'm expecting my suit to come in a week time. 5 Star service rating from me.

I will say that anything coming to Canada should come USPS! UPS and Fedex usually means outrageous broker fees and anything else the government wants to throw at us.
USPS comes to our Canada Post guys and direct without the holdups and BS of brokerage fees.

Erik
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the inquiries and words of encouragement. I wish I could express my sincere appreciation to all of you.
Hey Willoomy,
Regarding your required suit size, that is a tough one. Your height would require a large, but your weight would require a medium. Of course I want your business, but I am not convinced the suit would fit. Do you live in the USA? If you lived in the USA, I could simply ship to you a suit for you to try on and if it did not fit, we could simply ship another size. If you live in the states, I could cover the cost for returning the suit if it did not fit.
Hey Hudasmt,
Thanks for the kind words. It was a pleasure doing business with you. I hope you like the suit.
Hey Erik,
Thanks for the heads up on the USPS thing to Canada. You are right on. UPS is not a good choice to Canada. Thanks!

I have just received an order from Mako. I can only add to the posts praising the customer service. Well done guys.
Thanks Dano.
Thanks Dano.
Hey Octopus,
Thanks for the cool post. I am sorry I don't know you by your avatar, so I can't thank you personally, but thanks. When I see posts like this about our customer service, it is so rewarding to me. Actually, I don't even call it customer service. I have so much in common with my customers, I think of them as my buddies so, I call it buddy service. My buddies know that I would do anything for them and I know for a fact that my buddies would do anything for me. Call it a guy thing, or call it whatever you want. I don't have to explain it to you guys. I am sure you guys already know the drill. I recently expressed these same thoughts and it is truly amazing how many guys in the spearfishing community look at things the same way. Once you put a speargun in a mans hands, he is forever changed. So, is spearfishing is the main ingredient for world peace? Probably not, but it is a heck of a way to spend a Saturday..with your buddies.
Thanks again guys,

Hey Mishu1984,
Thanks for the enquiry. Please check back with me in about a week. I might have some 1.5mm blue camo suits in by that time. As for the lycra pants to match my wetsuit shirt, I don't carry them, however, I think Rob Allan is producing some but I am not sure of the camo pattern. You might want to call Mike at Florida Freedivers. He is the RA distributor for the USA. I know him personally and he will take good careo f you.
Please check back with me in a week or so about the 1.5mm blue camo suits. I just might have them.
thanks,
dano
