Hi everyone ,I'm new here at the forum and looking at buying my first speargun , which will probably be used mostly in the UK, but as i do like to travel, I will probably lug it around to most destinations (Med., South Africa, Dubai - to name a few). I'm currently looking at getting either the Omer Caymen HF-90 , or the Omer Excalliber 3000 - 90, but can't make up my mind. As I am pretty new to spearfishing ,I was wondering if anyone has any input or advice, as they seem to be quite different in design. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Pisces why don't you tell us a little more about yourself especially where you live ? There are many threads on this site maybe one is about your area. In the mean time have a look here - Spearguns by Spearo uk ltd finest supplier of speargun, monofins, speargun and freediving equipment
Yes as foxfish said, our friend Dave at spearo.co.uk has a nice stock. He sells Rabitech, but I guess he'll tell you that Seatec are better for hunting in England.
Indeed if I were in your shoes I'd give a serious look to the Seatec Gabbiano 90. It's probably the best european made speargun in the intermediate price range: it's more solid and accurate than any other.
The Omer you mentioned (Cayman HF and Excalibur 3000) are really good, but for hunting bass and mullet in Uk, If I were to pick an Omer gun, I'd prefer the Omer XXV Gold: maybe it's less accurate on long shots, but it's very lightweight and quick, deadly effective for hunting in murky waters with short visibility.
