Hi! Thank you! I own 2 kinds which are both incredible; DiveR's (they work fantastic and have the most beautiful art options), also I wear "Molchanovs" find, which are also incredible. You can't go wrong either way, hope this helps! And thank you!!

the best conditions are in spain ... lots of fish, villas with pool and boat to take us on right spot.

Aw thanks!!

Thanks for responding.You're very kind.

That's awesome and thanks so much! Sounds like you'd go to 2nd reef, nice!

Yeah, I haven't tried that one myself yet (not surprisingly, since it came out yesterday... and I think I'll still cook the big heads separately anyway)... but one thing that I did get off the internet that already has been a big help is a method advocated by some UF students, of de-veining the tails, wherein you stick the thicker end of the broken-off antenna up their butts (not the UF students's, mind you), instead of using the thinner end... such that the spines on the antenna are pointed out of the butt, and thus hook the intestine a lot better. Gotta gauge where you break off the thicker end of the antenna, though, so that it isn't too thick to fit, but works great. Oh, and while I'm on an eldersplainin' roll, when you spear a few more fish than you can eat fresh, something that works better than vacuum bagging for long term freezing (for use during rough-sea stretches) is freezing skinless fillets in already-cooled down freshwater, in zip lock quart freezer bags. You put the fillets in, pour chilled water in, and squeeze out excessive water while you're zipping the bag, making sure to squeeze out all the bubbles in the process, and it protects the fillets from oxidization better than anything, to the point that they can even taste fresh after 6 months in the freezer. These ziplock packs defrost pretty quickly if placed in a bowl of tapwater. Lobster tails frozen in freshwater in tupperware keep great this way, too, and can actually taste 'sweeter' than fresh, because during freezing, the iodine in the saltwater in their swimlets leaches out into the chilled freshwater... which, as ice, gets rinsed off under the tap when defrosting. All you do with the lobster tails is rinse the ice off of them, and then put the still mostly frozen tails in a pot of room temp water, and turn the burner on high. The pot of water takes more than ten minutes to heat up, and they smoothly defrost in the process. And by the time the water is getting toward boiling (after 15 minutes+), and needs to be turned down some, to keep it not only from boiling, but from moving much, they are defrosted and ready to evenly cook at that setting. Takes somewhere around 22 minutes from the time you first turn the burner on, for minimal-keeper tails. Of course, with all-the-seafood-you-can-catch being available even during rough-sea stretches, eating too much mercury could be a concern, but there is good news on that front. Turns out, according to the best currently available science, (including a half million dollar EPA-funded study using fish-fed lab rats), the well-established problem with mercury is that it binds with selenium in the brain, and unbound selenium is what protects the brain from oxidization. Eating fish that has more selenium than mercury in it hasn't been found to have ill effects, no matter how much mercury it has. But eating fish like kingfish, specimens of which larger than 30 inches typically do have more mercury than selenium, HAS been found to have ill effects. But if you take a few 200 milligram selenium pills with iffy fish, all should be fine. (Being a micro-nutrient, like copper, more than 800 milligrams of selenium a day is toxic, so don't go overboard.) There aren't actually many fish that you would spear that have more mercury than selenium, but since Florida soil, and thus presumably Florida's produce, is low in selenium, it wouldn't hurt to take a selenium pill every time you eat a bunch of fish. Anyway, enough definitely-useful tips. Just compulsively/convulsively, here are some more hot(OR not) tips on Youtubes from what seems to me to have been one of the true golden ages of American music, 1927 to 1932. What I especially like about these two, and I guess why I can't help but relate them to you, is that they have more of a side-awareness of the outdoors than our modern music typically does.

That cleaning method video was helpful I never knew to do it that way, I will have to try thanks!!!

Since you prefer to kill your lobster before cleaning them, there is a newly publicized method of cleaning them that would be difficult to do with a live one but which might be just the ticket for you, when it comes to dealing with head meat. If you scroll down to the August 27, 2018 video, described as "A new way to clean lobster", on the following website, you can see this neat trick, which I certainly hadn't seen before: https://www.facebook.com/bahamafishing/

These are the worthy versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9taYytjDgeg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDOX7rzeAGg ...and I mistakenly referred to Genesis, who identifies as "third gender" by now, as a he. (Sorry to get off the lobster subject, but your soundtrack, which I hadn't heard before, intrigued me because it means that two of JFK's most famous speeches fit so well to music that JFK, rather than Muhammad Ali, could be said to be the first rapper... though actually Will Shade [aka Son Brimmer, of the Memphis Jug Band] was this close to rap back in 1928, when this here track was recorded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3glET0vebQ.) About the lobster heads, though, you'd probably want to have a way to subsequently put them on ice if you are going to take 'em off and clean the guts out of them out in the water.

Bob H I have to check out that kusic thanks!! Also you gave me some new things to think about with the lobster heads, good to question thanks!

Speaking of boiled heads, I just remembered that the only good one of the many of Genesis P-Orridge's covers of the Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations" is the one from Godstar (the soundtrack of an unmade movie) and a 7" single... and not merely because it's the one that mentions a fish (though it gets bonus points for that... cuz I'm not sure the dern "Beach Boys" Ever sang word one about a fish).

Nicole Surfer I will try it tomorrow, going to Carlsbad state beach in CA.

Dawrongguy use more with barely a rinse off afterwards, sounds like your over rinsing or underapplying

Alloflightx2 x9 yes everywhere has had so much seaweed lately! And thank you!!

Damion Trombley uses it's so painful if you don't do it right. It's actually simple unless you have clogged sinuses. Perhaps look up videos on youtube to equalize they are so helpful

Thanks for the info!

Thanks! Funny someone asked the same thing on my instagram page he responded with this exactly ; "I use the Omer Alien mask and I’ve never had any problems with leaks due to my facial hair. It seals well and has lasted me a long time." Hope that helps!!
