I tried an entire wall of masks on recently and I swear I did not find a really good fit. I have the cro magnum forehead and a huge Italian nose. A cressi calibrate is ok for me but I need to spread the sides before I put it on, and at that point it does a pretty good job
The best fins are custom made fins. Need different weights and tensile carbon layers and directions inside. Most of them are just 0-90° stepped layups including DiveR, penetrator and most cheaper blades.
Weird question warning! I want to easily add weight to a guitar strap while I'm seated and then remove the weight when I play while standing. Here are my questions: 1. What is the widest opening on lace through style diving weights? I saw some coated weights online, and they listed the openings at 1.92 inches wide. The most narrow guitar straps are usually about two inches wide. 2. Is there any room in the openings for a reasonably thin, two inch wide cloth strap to curl up on the edges and still fit through the openings in the weight? I want to slip a diving weight over a guitar strap at the bottom end of my bass guitar to pull it down and pitch the neck upward, so that I don't have to support any of the neck weight with my fretting hand. You have to admit, it is kind of funny that I'm asking a diving professional about diving weights in order to solve a problem which guitarists call "neck dive". 😂
@westsidedivetackle3894 Thanks! It's worth a try. If worse comes to worst, I'll just get some sturdy cloth and sew a bag around it, and then I'll sew a wide loop onto the bag. As a lifelong technician, I will never understand some of the crap that design and engineering teams produce. Product Development: "What's the word from our market testing?" Marketing: "Well, most of our test subjects really liked the sound of our newest guitar line, but they complained that if they let go of the necks for a split second, the headstocks will immediately dive straight into the floor. These new models are horribly unbalanced, Sir." Product Development: "Great! So, how soon will we start manufacturing and shipping them?"
No sorry mate we don’t sell that brand as they sell only directly to customers. We’ve seen and dealt with lots of carbon blades over the year though. Do you have a question about them?
@@westsidedivetackle3894 I’m just in the beginning stages of researching. Trying to decide between fiberglass or lower end carbons. I’ll be using almost exclusively for spearfishing.
@@iFlub. got it. Biggest difference is the material. Fiberglass is typically way more durable than CF. We sell mostly FG blades to folks who are beginning or wanting to upgrade from plastics. It can be a cost thing as well. FG blades are more responsive (translate water down the blade) than plastics but not better than CF blades in that respect. CF blades are a lot lighter than FG therefore you use less energy through your swim cycle. CF are typically more expensive and are less durable (say for reef diving). Hope this helps
@@westsidedivetackle3894 thanks Chris! Diving less than 100 ft for the most part. I’ve tried out some fiberglass before and loved them (don’t remember the brand). Didn’t know if it would be worth the upgrade to cheaper carbons for marginally more. Looking to spend up to about $350 for blades and foot pockets.
@@iFlub. in this case you might want to save up a little more and get a great pair of CF blades. Cetma, Alchemy or Meandros CF are what we sell a lot of. The difference of a $100 more for a great CF is immense! If you cannot save and really want the CF blades just determine the type of diving you a few going to be doing mostly. Again CF blades can get damaged on rocks and reef. Maybe also look at a mix of CF/FG if your dive area is rough on the fins 🤙
Personally, I like to have mine somewhere (depending on your gear setup)on or about my chest area. That way, no matter what, you can reach your knife with EITHER hand. If you’ve got your knife on your arm, leg, or on your side, and for whatever reason the arm/hand you need to access your knife can’t be used, you’re f&(:@d!
You can call it whatever you want. We call it a Double Constrictor Knot. I actually learned this from a great uncle of mine sooooooo we have been using and calling it this for over 70 years. Thanks for watching
I appreciate the perspective, and it's some good information being presented, but unfortunately not giving names to the knives you're showing makes the video kind of useless.
Very beautiful mask and snarkle And The fins are also very good The setting of your shop is very beautiful always be successful our prayers are with you 🌹🌹🌹
One problem with speargun designed reels is that the drag is to weak. My Dad and myself use Penn trolling reels with 50 mts of stainless cable. If you shoot a cave dweller, drag to the max, for others drag off and apply as needed. Weight is no problem, just take off 1 or 2 lead from belt
Hi there: im debating getting a pathos lazer carbon roller 100cm vs a rob allen gt timberline roller in a 100cm, the rob allen cost around 46% more ordering ro my area. Ive tried spearfishing once in the caribbean shallow reefs with deep open areas with a cressi apache 45cm which was a terrible option but i made the best of it and managed to get some fish. This is my dilema: is the rob allen essentially 46% better than the pathos? Pros and cons of each? Thanks so much for any advice you are able to provide.
Too many variables to cover sorry BUT a you are looking at a carbon gun bs a wood gun. That’s apples and oranges. 1st thing is to figure out your budget. Next ask yourself if you really want a roller gun as they are more complicated to deal with. Personally if I’m getting a wood gun then it has to be ALL wood and not with a muzzle and handle added. TBH Pathos Sniper spearguns are my go to. Check them out
@@westsidedivetackle3894 ive decided on roller bc of the low recoil. Both of the above metioned are carbon ( the allen is a carbon barrel enclosed in woood). The allen has ceramic beatings vs pathos plastic ( i think).
@@jonnydcan9482 again lots of variables. If you can get to a shop and get some expertise try. RA roller muzzle is better than Pathos I agree. Pathos handle and trigger are better than the RA imo. The Sniper had very low recoil for a non roller gun and is almost as accurate imo. Same ballast design as the RA roller. In fact lots of companies have copied the ballast balance design started by Pathos. Again personally I don’t like guns that are wooden with muzzle and handle added. Why not simply get a custom all wood roller gun from a great wood gun maker for around the same cost? Good luck mate
Ok thanks so much for the great input…i think ill be getting the pathos, i do have a custom gun in the making out of Hawaii as im in Canada and there isnt anywhere that sells spearguns outhere where im. I come from a hunting background and i would prefer carbon over wood just bc maintenance and durability. Thanks again man
