Hi all...

I was wondering which speargun I should go for, mainly for hunting fish under rocks. Band or pneumatic, which size, etc...

I will be hunting close to shore in mediterranean waters, the depths vary from 10-15 meters.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Pneumatics are great for hunting in confined spaces like in caves & under rocks.
If the fish are very close range you could get away with a 70cm air gun.

One benefit of using airguns in confined spaces is they can be fired close to your body or head without the fear of rubber bands catching you.
You can also hold them around the barrel, something you should not do with a band gun when loaded.
