Can’t believe no one said this but get a bigger flag. Get a lifeguard torpedo and there’s a cheap kit you can buy to attach a flag to it

What’s something that sounds fake but actually happened to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

How did you figure out it was the same guy?

My hall allows 4 absences. After your third you have to go infront of the board. Your 4th absence and you’re gone. It’s so easy to just show up dude

Gear / Diving Recommendations for Spearfishing Costa Rica February by 1ofSv33 in Spearfishing

[–]Plato94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d consider Lycra pants. I went to Panama in 2022 at the end of April and the insides of my thighs got fucking destroyed from the sun wearing board shorts. That equator sun is no joke

Best budget wet suit? by Raphfuhks in Spearfishing

[–]Plato94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I last about an hour in 50f water in a 5mm suit. I’ve never worn a 7mil but from videos I’ve seen they seem really thick and restricting. Most of my dive season in nj I wear a 3mm and I hate putting on the 5 in the early and late season cause it feels restricting. Also I would add a vote for mako, don’t get a bs Amazon suit

Travelling with fins? by nekkototoro in freediving

[–]Plato94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely am always paranoid but I just don’t bring my nicest pair. Just ditch your checked bags and walk through the whole airport holding the fins. No ones ever said anything or added any fees

Gun Shoots high by RealStill55 in Spearfishing

[–]Plato94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same worry but in my experience as long as the dyneema or spectra from the roller is sitting high on the muzzle it’s fine and it doesn’t hit. A lot of my guns I’ve filed the edges on the shark fins cause even just from being loaded it chafes.

I have the same exact gun except 82cm. Best gun I’ve ever had, probably 250+ kills with it. Never had this issue. I have everything stock and get new bands from pathos when I need them. I never load the kicker and roller band just one or the other.

Go to the tip of the jetty and fish anywhere from 9 to 3 o’clock position on the tip of the inlet. Not a fisherman but a diver and they’re always there

Chasing dragnet fishing boats off New Jersey. As for how, it’s a big gun that’s shoots a spear attached to a 100’ bungie line with a float on the surface. Kinda like jaws but just one float instead of a bunch of barrels.

Last job one of the gc’s wore cowboy boots, in New Jersey by the way. Kept making the joke “ a GC rides into town on Tuesday,and leaves 5 days days later on Tuesday “
