Navman are my choice, I have had my Navman 5600 Chartplotter for 3 yrs, & the only trouble I have had, is when the aeriel cable has been pulled out of the "mushroom" by accident. I have had my Garmin 72 handheld GPS for 4 yrs, & all I do with that is change the batteries, its my back up, but its a first class "auxillary".

I had bought 2 Garmin 72. I us them as for diving and can say that are the best ever had. Simple and really cheap from ebay (usa)

The best one I found is Emic because you take him with you to a place let him dive and he tells you were the fish are!

hehhehehhe.......... sure

But belive me that last time I was with buzu and my dad and I shoot a grouper in the hole. Then when I went to take it out saw another 4 and 2 cawluwni. Had problems to take the grouper out cos was with only 1 speargun so had to get back to gnejna to get another gun. We left fresh bait in front of the hole and even if there was so much fish, no one touched it.

Spitec for me there is no problems to give places but as you know me, I only give them to whom they have respect to the sea and towards me

Emic what do you say! How much do you charge per day!!!!

All thanks for all your feedback I will start looking at the models mentioned.

don t worry tatanka, I always go for free and I share all my catch. I go for fun and the best thing is to get fish.

I go with lots of guys but an important thing is not to share grouper`s places. I work hard for them and my price is when I shoot them. This year Giovanni and I, we had landed over 20 groupers. The important was that from all these groupers we didn t stuck even 1. I believe if a grouper dies in the whole and leave it there, one had done the worst thing in his life, first he kills a nice fish like that for nothing and second that place will be empty for ever.

That s why i don t like sharing groupers

For other white fish I believe that if it is less then 40mtr which we don t reach that depth all the fish will be migrating so we do not harm the see so I don t hesitate to give places

Can anyone give me his advice, am looking in buying a fishfinder and a gps, shall I get a conbined one (combo) or separate, is it simpler to use a separate? I was going for a Hummingbird 535 and a handheld Gps, comments please..........
