First Kill

Hey guys,
I finally got the chance to take a spear gun in the water.
Went to Morehead City (first Ocean trip) for wreck diving last weekend and shot 3 sheephead, 1 trigger, 1 flounder and 2 respectable Grouper.
I’m hooked!

How deep were you diving. I’ve read about several divers going 100’+ deep and I’m not comfortable with that. Is there good diving at 60’ or less?

The Grouper were at 100+ (a WWII tanker sunk by a U-boat)
I did have a pony at the anchor chain, as well as other divers nearby.
The depth didnt bother me but I doubt I shoot around that many sets of teeth again.
The other fish were at about 65 feet and no sharks.
You could shoot a flounder and watch 3 or 4 take off from around it.
My first shot hung the spear in the sheepheads head. Bet I used 500 lbs of air getting it out. Oh well, I just need more experience.

If I had the money (and I will) my preference would be an H valve with dual regs. That way I’ve got 2 primaries and 3 secondaries.
For now I keep the pony close by.
