    spearfishing tournament tips

    Just found out that we wont get format until Friday night captain's meeting. Just general tips would be great on things like going to deep water or bounce diving. I do know that power heads are not allowed.

    spearfishing tournament tips

    Its a one day tournament with aggragate total of 3 fish per 2 man team. We will obviously be looking for big fish. My plan is to go to the near shore (20 miles offshore) artificial reefs and bounce dive. the depths are around 60-70ft. I believe that Amberjack are excluded and the max per fish...

    Longer gun?

    I'm looking at an Ocean Rhino 52" right now. I think I'm going to buy that one and check it out. Thanks to all again

    Longer gun?

    Thanks for all the posts so far. To answer some questions......I am 5'9 and I hunt off of savannah georgia in typically 75-120ft on ledges and artificial reefs. Typical visibility is anywhere from 10-70ft. I would say average viz is 25ft I am pretty athletic and strength should not be a...

    Longer gun?

    I usually aim for the head just behind the eyes. I have noticed when I hit that spot that the fins will shake and the fish seems paralyzed. I am open to suggestions on that as well.

    Longer gun?

    I have a JBL 38 double band with a slip tip head. Where I hunt (offshore Savannah, Ga) the grouper and snapper are very wary of gun toting divers! Several times now I have been able to get a pretty good shot on some fish over 20-30lbs and the tip will just not go all the way through. I fight the...

    Where to dive near Ft. Stewart/Savannah

    My buddies and I dive offshore between 25-45 miles quite regularly. have a 25ft C-Hawk rigged pretty nicely for diving and we are always looking for people to help share the gas expense. Usually about 40 or 50 bucks a head. You can PM me and let me know if you're interested. We mostly spearfish

    Anchoring near or on the wreck?

    Thank you Tsunami. That sounds like an even better plan than mine and easy enough. I appreciate all of the responses too. I will give it a whirl on Sunday if the weather cooperates

    Anchoring near or on the wreck?

    Devon- That's actually my new plan. I have a dive flag buoy with a fairly heavy wight to drop on the wreck to mark it and then i can maneuver the boat where i need to anchor it. I am just trying to get some alternate ideas from some more experienced people.

    Anchoring near or on the wreck?

    That is how I have been doing it but if the anchor doesn't set right away we sometimes end up too far off the wreck. I know some people use wreck reels from the anchor to the wreck. I'm looking for alternate ideas but thanks for the input anyway. I know it seems simple and it can be, but there...

    Anchoring near or on the wreck?

    This seems to still give me fits . I have a wreck anchor and a danforth. My plan is to find the structure, cross it going against the tide, and drop anchor a guessed distance past the wreck to drift the boat somewhere just on the other side and have the anchor set near or against the wreck. Or...

    Thoughts on Dive computers especially Oceanic Datamask

    Really good info everyone. I have never lost a mask either and deal with surface chop, sometimes heavy on most dives. My primary concern so far is the cost vs longevity. I find myself replacing masks every couple of years. Anyone had one for over a year?

    Thoughts on Dive computers especially Oceanic Datamask

    I have been evaluating some new computers lately and I wanted to see how many people are diving with the Oceanic Datamask and get some "real people" reviews. I love the idea of the Heads Up Dislpay but there must be some drawbacks besides the cost. Anyone out there using it? here is a...

    First Nitrox and computer alarmed

    Never even thought about the rasing of my arm quickly. I usually ascend up the anchor line and I use my left hand (computer hand) as the guide and I'm sure that I do it fairly quickly at times. I have really learned quite a bit from this post and I will definitely break out that pesky manual and...

    First Nitrox and computer alarmed

    Thanks again all especially Riger for going through that log. i suppose those rapid ascents were going a few feet up over the deck of the ship to surprise the fish. I always exhlale on those quick little peeks and i guess i thought that was good enough. I'm thinking about getting a new...

    First Nitrox and computer alarmed

    Riger- I am at work right now and the file is on my laptop at home. I will try to get my girlfriend to send it to me via email and that would happen in about 15 minutes if she can get it. If not, I will post it tonight. I assume your email address is in your profile.

    First Nitrox and computer alarmed

    Thanks Blackwood. That makes sense to me now. It was flashing because I was nearing 100 percent of ascent rate. It was confusing to me because sometimes it would flash that cns icon above the rate and I did not realize that it was both o2% and ascent rate. I will go ahead and send the profile to...
