So hey guys, I'm new to the sport and I have a few questions, some of which you may find funny.
1.Firstly equalizing, something i cannot seem to master. People tell me pinch your nostrils and blow out. dont get my wrong it works but not all the time. It is also alot of hassle when you are holding a gun in your hand. I was wondering if anybody could properly explain the normal or any other techniques to me in detail.
2. My dad used to spearfish about 30 years ago and thus I sorta inherited all of his stuff. one of these was a pneumatic gun made by a company called GSD, which if i'm not mistaken has gone bankrupt. I lost the spear about two days ago(the tip came loose and i didnt notice the spear falling :C) and I was wondering if I would be able to replace it with a common day shaft?

3. If it could be replaced is there some method of overhauling it as it is pretty underpowered.
4. I want to buy a proper gun within the next few months, I live in malta which is south of sicily and will mostly be hunting along the coast. It is hard to see a decent sized fish but the problem is that when I do I can never get close enough with my current gun. I have used an Omer Cayman and found that its range is also a little low. Another friend of mine purchased a beauchat marlin(dual band). It seems alright but I was wondering if you guys had any other suggestions.
Sorry for all the questions guys would appreciate any feedback you have to offer. Thanks all
