That's awesome. You sound like a person that alot of people could learn from on this forum. I am a long time tech diver and dive instructor, but a very new spearfisherman. I would love to learn more about handling the fish with stages, stringing them up etc... You obviously would not have a problem loading your gun while wearing your gear, this is all good information that should be shared. Therefore I think that your contribution to this thread would be immensely beneficial to those of us just starting out in the sport.

I believe I was posting in the technical spearfishing section. If I was mistaken, my apologies.

Have you seen the snorklers and tubers in the springs? We are a target rich environment

Sorry bud, no can do. Can't bring a speargun in fresh water. But I will be more than happy to give you a trip report next time I go to the dry tortugas and "try" to shoot a big fish at 280', that should be fun.

Safe diving.
