Bullets shot from rifles into the water from above only have limited penetration abilities. The water absorbs the energy quickly. A .223 or 30-06 cartridge shot from a powerhead underwater only goes a few feet after going through even a small fish or if pre-ignition happens. Any of these...

The sewing awl with a little practice can be pretty fast. I've sewn hundreds of pieces of rockclimbing, treeclimbing, and dive gear. If sewing multiple layers together it helps to clamp them in a vise while sewing. It keeps the layers aligned and also helps keep the rows straight. A regular...

Use a little urine!

The sound would be nowhere near as loud as a powerhead, which is a little startling, but not painful.

A cert. card won't make you any more qualified than your own comfort level and personal abilities. If you know the risks involved, and feel comfortable enough to deal with any probs. you may run into then by all means do the dives. What I'm saying is dive within your own comfort level. There...

Make a loop out of the tubing or bungie so that the ends overlap about 1.5-2" and then mark where the ends of the tubing touch the main part on each side. Using waxed twine or even thin nylon string, tie a double constrictor knot around both pieces of tube at the marks on both sides. The...

Once again someone asks a viable ? and gets bombarded with everyone's opinions of what they think he should have. Jared, get whatever YOU want that will fit your needs.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

The silicone spray is used to keep the knife from rusting. All stainless knives will rust to some extent due to their carbon content which is necessary to hold an edge.You can get the silicone spray most anywhere. I wouldn't spray the silicone on my dive gear. Washing it off properly will be...

:bravo: Caveseeker, thank you for saying what I am too lazy to type. I dive a bp/w and hate Jet Fins. If you wanna have a freakin' milk jug inside a Jansport for a bc then more power to you. I think that 50% of the content of this whole board is made up of why everyone should have Jet...

That extra lift may also help in rough water to float you higher. I've found that when the waves are big and I'm waiting for the boat to come get me I appreciate the extra lift.

Wear thick neoprene socks under the fins. The power transfer is better, no straps to break and get hung up on, and no foot cramping. I'll dive wet down to the upper 50's with no prob.

Full foot fins only are what I like. Cressi-sub Gara 3000 to be exact. 3 feet long and fast as h@ll. Had some jets and they were the worst pieces of s@#t I ever had. Gave 'em away to get them out of my sight. There's a reason imo why fin design has changed since the Sea Hunt era. My second...

If you enjoy your money being funnelled into terroristic purposes then your assessment of yourself is correct. PETA recruits members under the fuzzy bunny loving pretense as you believe in. You don't realize the cold hard truth which is that PETA directly supports, if not openly embracing...

Again, thanks Becky!

I'm not sure use of this term makes sense in the polling option. That would imply that you have to be stupid or ignorant in order to be a member of PETA. exactly

I can't think of a more irrational, unstable, misinformed, and emotionally tweaked group of people anywhere. I will never believe that PETA doesn't fund ecoterrorist activities and support the Animal Liberation Front and the destruction to property perpetrated by them. It ultimately comes down...

I can't remember the last time I saw a jewfish UNDER 200lbs. 20 to 50 lb grouper(square tails) on wrecks outnumbering jewfish? I need to come dive with you! Most of the jewfish I see are 300+ and many have got to be over 5. Not even surprised to see them anymore. 20 - 50 lb grouper though...

Mempilot, I don't wanna start any more s%&t but shouldn't you post about leaving the fish alone on the other forum with the shark lovers? This is the underwater hunting forum and most folks that contribute here would sling steel at a 100lb carbo in half a nanosecond if given the opportunity...

Hermosa, the girl that posted said that the steaks were sold. I guess she was lying about the whole thing and you were there to witness it!? Fiji, I'll expect you to pack your bags in preparation for your new career as a lobbyist, right.
