Re: Carbon cannons
I could be wrong, but 3 band 8mm setups are starting to get to the point where recoil becomes an issue on anything other than a timber gun.

Re: How often do you carry a knife while spearfishing?
I just roll with one of GR's knives that are serrated on both sides. When do you ever need a non serrated edge when diving anyway?

Materials are cheaper, but tools are pricey if you don't have everything already. It's worth it though if you plan on making multiple guns.

Re: Dive watch opinion Sporasub vs Omer
I believe Aqualung owns both companies, so they probably are the same watch. Personally I think surface time is the most important feature, that would probably be a deal breaker for me

I got an Italian SP1 off ebay for cheap and it has worked great for me. I can't really comment on all of the features though because all I really use it for is surface intervals.

I'm always scared I'm going to melt the skirt. I've always used plain white toothpaste with no crystals or gels in them. That and spit and rinse right before every dive usually works for me.
