My new sea hornet

I'm not that into scuba diving but since people will pay me to do it sometimes I have been doing it a little

So figured I should get a gun that is a lot less buoyant in the water, and could be used for free shafting

Everyone says that the Sea Hornet is one of the best scuba guns

So Ja and I came up with this

Re: My new sea hornet

The company that produces "Sea Hornet" guns in Australia is having problems. It has ceased operating its web-site for a few years now and the staff numbers employed by the business have been reduced to the bare minimum. Imported goods are killing it as local production costs are far in excess of the production costs supported by the low wages paid in Asian countries which can offer clones of nearly every product imaginable. Hence "Sea Hornet" parts may not always be available in the long term. "Ocean Rhino" made the gun popular in more recent years, but a bad decision by "T.D. Preece & Company" to switch the speargun line to TUSA forced the development of a new "Ocean Rhino" gun of an advanced and improved specification. The TUSA distribution of "Sea Hornet" spearguns fell over after about a year or so.
