Hi, i'm quite new to spearfishing and i'm thinking of buying a speargun and a friend of mine recommended a 75cm is a good size to begin with. I have been surfing the net and i came across the Cressi Sub Geronimo but when reading on the forum nobody ever mentions the brand, are they not that good?

It depends what fishing method your going to use.  I personally would go for a 90 or 100 for aspetto/caduta/aguatto and a 75 for crevice hunting. 

Regarding the cressi gun...... any gun will be good to start with as long as you get used to it.  At least thats my opinion.

My friend I have two spearguns from cressi the apache 90 and 75. I bought them 15 years ago  and still I use them.Unfortunatley I need to change the 90  because I am seeing cracks on the handle and corrosion.Surely when I go to buy a new speargun I will choose another cressi the comanche or the geronimo.The most thing I like on them is the comfort grip of their handle and their balance in the water.

Thanks for the replies guys. I thought a 75 was good because mainly i will be using it for crevice hunting then when i get a bit more practice in controlling the breathe maybe aguatto but all in its time hehe

I found a great book, which goes into great details about apnea. I guess a lot of you know about it, but i thought i should list anyway
