At first i would buy from 80 till 100 as per range in cm, because those sizes are the most use full for any type of fishing from cave fishing till aspetto.

Hi Mark. But i saw some of your videos and you use a beachat speargun.

How much are you willing to spend?

If you want to spend some money on something reliable, carbon guns like beauchaut are good. H dessault guns are good guns for their price I know people who vouch on their reliability. They have good trigger mechanisms (if not mistaken demka).

you are a novice approaching this beautiful sport for the first time, choose a gun lower than a 100. You may have trouble loading the rubbers of the gun till you get the technique how you do it (it is not a matter of strenght, it is a matter of how you use your strenght).

Additionally I would use the budget wisely (assuming you are limited on how much you can spend

) investing in a good suit and some good fins. Be wary of popular brands and verify what you are getting sometimes you might be paying a lot of money for the brand.

thanks nicholas you are all so very helpful.

.So what brand would you really suggest which is really worth the money ? $:-\$ ..sorry for all the questions but as i am new to this sport and info would really help.cause i already got a mares 75 explorer but its not very reliable.

Granitu · October 27, 2011, 14:44:36 CET

ok so you are not than newbie than

The best gun is the gun that you are most comfortable with. I find myself comfortable with totem sub guns.

But beauchaut and especially H deaussalt (I have one, a 90 very good gun at a rip off price) guns are good guns too.

However, when the sea gets colder and you are moving to 100,120 guns, you are changing technique, these guns are to be used in aspetto's and agguato's style of techniques. And you will need proper weight structure, good fins to improve apnea by reducing effort and a better suit that will keep your body temperature even.

If you have the right equipment, go ahead and buy the gun only. But if you do not have it, buy everything altogether to bargain a better price altogether.

It's like buying a car, you might buy the most expensive car but it has no use without a driver or fuel.

lastly enjoy your diving

thanks granitu it all makes sense .I already have the wetsuit which is mares which I found really good so I will go and see some spearguns at m and a . but from where cam I find beauchaut???

Hi lorbsin, if you want a beachat speargun send a pm to emicmalta. He's an expert in these things.

baghira · October 28, 2011, 08:39:50 CET

This is some information from newbies:

Beuchat - Expo Valletta
Mares - Subaqua supplies Msida
Cressi - Mister Fish
Omer + others brands - Aquatica St. pauls
H Dessault - M@A Bugibba
Salvi - Salpa Sub
Small selection from Angler centre.

There are also a couple of other small importers, but these are the main.

Go and check yourself re: prices and reliability and after sales.
That's the best thing to do.

Then see reviews from the internet from sites like:
www.Medfish.com
www.deeperblue.com
not from single individuals.
