In my ,local paper today(western morning news) there was a small item about an incident at Thurlstone (south devon) where one diver had accidently (i hope ) shot another diver with a speargun !! apparantly he was not seriously injured ,and the lifeguard who assisted with first aid suggested that the wetsuit had saved him from more serious injury,quite how this happened i do not know,but really hope he is OK ,and if the individuals involved use this forum i would be intrigued to hear their story, as the press are often far from accurate about such events ! I also hope it does not come to the attention of any local council official who may campaign against the use of spearguns (unless you attend a course ,have a license ,insurance etc,etc...) I.seem to remember last year another local incident where someone got shot in the foot ,but i do not think they were spearos,but on the banks of the estuary trying to get mullet i think.
