I bought this new 3 years ago just befor our anual lobster diving trip to the keys. Unfortuniatly this was the first year I was not able to swim enough laps in my pool to feel safe fighting the current where we dive for lobster and I had to cancel the trip. My legs have have gone down hill since so I guess I will never get to use it. Spear Fishing is strictly regulated. Some locations ban posession of this item completly.
