Hi people,

I am going to 10 day vacation on 10th of June to Greece on Ionian sea. Previously I have tried spearfishing on vacation in 2015. and 2016. with borrowed Mares Sten gun also in Greece near Lefkada and Corfu.

I have some Technisub stratos fp fins and some smaller snorkeling Cressi fins, some Cressy mask (all clear silicone with tempered glass), got pair of neoprene gloves and socks, got some fishing knife that I have used on those two previous occasions.
Now I need SPEARGUN, buoy/float and a torch. Im really tight on a budget so for this year I'm skipping wetsuit. After some thinking and reading all over the web I think that a 75 gun will work good for me (is it?). I am planing to order equipment from some of the Greek shop, and to pay delivery to hotel where we are going to stay. My budget is 60€ for a gun.

I have noticed a few models:

Seac sub sting 75cm
About 47 €
Saw a few videos about it on youtube. Maybe biggest disadvantage is because it doesn't have a rail, but some Ozzy guy said it is precise.

Also from two Greek companies; (all of them have rail)

Lanara plus pothos extra 75cm (90cm), 17mm amber rubber
About 48€

Xdive Alpha 75cm (90 cm), 16mm black rubber, changeable spear tip.
57€

Xdive triton 75, 18mm black rubber, comes with tahitian spear, and spare shaft with threaded tip.
53€

Some help please?

Thanks in advance :D

P.S. If you know some good torch on a budget I need that too.
