Welcome to deeperblue mate :friday

Don't worry too much about your grip, I has a crap grip in my left hand due to an accident many years ago. I just twist my wrist to make a ledge and rest the band on there, I load 20mm bands like that no worries at all. Try and hook up with one of the guys to have a go before you buy

Thanks for the welcome, I'll check out the southwest threads.Foxfish, I really appreciate that you have taken the trouble to dig out that link. It was useful. I am reading as much as I can on spearfishing and have even got my trunks wet at the local swimming pool. I definitely have to work on my fitness. I know I have a long way to go but it is gratifying to know that there is a wealth of knowledge here. Thanks again for your welcome.
