    Hi Jack - great vids 👍👍👍 could you do 1 on what kit you use and how you set your gun up. Watching your videos has inspired me to have a go but as a complete novice I wouldn't know where to start with regards guns

    Perhaps you could do a series of videos which start off with you introducing me to your local dive shop followed by me acquiring all the kit needed and then finally entering the water and spearing my first fish, guided by you.

    Jack, you probably won't believe this but I was filming a movie on that exact beach two nights ago! I work in the TV and film industry and we filmed Daniel Day Lewis and Sean Bean by a campfire, right by the rocky formation you show behind you ! The weather has turned up here now so likely I'll visit next season, but it's a beautiful bay .

    I’ve just found your channel shared with me by a friend. I am based in Abersoch most weekends and spot the odd speargun fisherman from time to time which has stimulated me to further investigate further. I would welcome a video from you on the kit you use and the approximate costs you might apportion to the same.
    I’d also welcome any suggestion from you or any readers of a friendly and reputable retailer that might guide me in the correct equipment to suit my needs. I look forward to further videos.

    Nice video, Jack - watch out because 13kg of weights seem excessive, even with an 8mm top which I also use at the beginning of the season. Try to diminish the weight: you’ll benefit from it during the long walks and you can always put a rock between your dive belt and jacket, if needed, to adjust buoyancy on the go.

      @@ghostspearfishing4073 Thank you but I’m very happy with my weighting, this is adjusted to suit depth and in deeper sessions use far less
      I’m 185cm tall and my lung volume is 22% higher than an average man of that height (as measured on clinical trials) meaning my lungs hold well over 40% more air than an average height man
