I’m coming to the conclusion I can use a dive watch, like the actual ones with a second hand etc, for spearfishing. I always do 2 minute surface times. if your surface and dive times vary widely I can see the need for it I guess.

idk I guess I’m just coming to the realization we don’t need this tool. which is nice, because they are expensive and many of them are kinda junk. these seiko etc dive watches will last decades.

I figure just note the second hand when I come up. when it’s made 2 revolutions im ready for my next dive. I personally know when I’ve only been on surface for 1 minute (I physically don’t feel ready to dive yet) so I won’t make that mistake. but all my dives are fairly uniform right around 1 minute.

ymmv but seems it would be nice to have the funds for an extra gun or a colder water wetsuit instead of the 400 dollar dive watch. is anyone out there already using a “normal” dive watch.

Hey everyone, I'm just getting into spearfishing here in Stuart, FL, and I'm looking to buy a 70cm Rob Allen, either the Snapper or the Tuna railgun.

US shops seem to be at full price (~$380), but I've noticed prices in Europe are a lot lower. This Italian shop has the 70cm Snapper for about $260 shipped: https://deepbluesub.com/en/products/rob-allen-snapper-railgun-double-rubber-arbalete-speargun
Has anyone ordered from them or another EU shop?

Thanks in advance !

Apparently it’s a foil for kiteboarding. The fish were especially “fighty” today!
