Start A “Buddy Diver” Thread 19.10.2011 Ten years ago, you seldom found people free-diving with a speargun outside of South Florida and The Bahamas.

But with underwater videos popping up daily, of single-breath trips to the bottom in less than gin clear water, the sport continues to grow.

Cressi Spider Sock Although it might seem strange going into detail about a neoprene sock I thought this one was worth it. It is relevant because so many of us spend such a long time in the water. And what would be fine for most of us for a few hours diving, might not for others who may spend five hours at a time in the water. What is actually quite a significant feature of this neoprene sock is the lack of a seam up the back of the heel. This along with ill fitting fins is quite often the cause of chaffing. Another aspect of the sock to be aware of is it does stretch a little over a few days out. Because the dots underneath are not a solid mat and the neoprene is quite stretchy they fit quite snug without cramping the foot.
