Hello,
I am about to start snorkeling + underwater fishing and scuba diving in the midterranian sea (Israel). After all the equipment threads it's time to finish with a weight belt and a knife.
After some research, here are my thoughts:
Weight belt:
I read that rubber belt will remain in place when you dive, while a fabric will dance around your waist (I experienced it during the course). Also, the buckle has to be easily released.
Knife:
I will be fishing underwater, near the shore where there might be fishermen. I thought to purchase a sharp edge (to help a struggling fish) stainless steel knife with a sheath to attach on the leg. I think a blackened knife will rust less, plus it should be expendable in case I loose it.
Again, any thoughts or advice you give are appreciated.
Thanks.
