What depths are you guys taking the GoPros

Re: What depths are you guys taking the GoPros
The gopro 60m housing should be fine. I've taken one to 105m / 344ft without any leaks but I turned it on beforehand, no pushing buttons at depth. I was very impressed that it survived!

Re: More about the inverted polispast rollers
Gives you some idea of the madness that ensues when some latex tries to turn a corner at speed. Of course this exaggerated since there's no shaft involved and it's out of the water, so travelling...

Re: More about the inverted polispast rollers
In principle, three things come to mind. All have to do with the mass of the rubbers and what their inertia is doing with respect to the barrel / spear.
1. Centrifugal force is trying to send the...

Re: nose clip recommendations
If it's for depth then an aluminum one is probably a lot better than plastic. You need a lot of clamping force. Trygons are good but I'm not sure they're being produced any more? This one is probably...

Re: About roller guns..
Yeah lower mass going around the rollers. So the effect would still be there, but tiny in comparison with the force of the rubbers or the inertia of the shaft.

Bands on a roller gun will try to lift off and take the long route around the rollers. They have mass and you're trying to turn them 180 degrees at speed, so centrifugal force will push the trailing...

Re: Sigal or Devoto shafts
Sigal shoot well but are unbelievably soft. About one decent fish per shaft for me, so it's too expensive to keep using them. If only somebody made spring steel shafts in that shape.

I know the brain cannot respire anaerobically. That's kind of the point. Your muscles can, and since you have a limited O2 reservoir you want to deprive your muscles of O2 as much as possible,...

A deep freediver is very much like a 100m sprinter. It's a slow motion sprint. Muscles are working anaerobically. Lactate production, severe acidosis, to the point of failure. Actually more like a...
