    Fiji looks amaze! blessed living in NZ & close to all these beautiful pacific islands .Yum , Fijian curry dishes at the end are the business indeed. Especially with fresh ingredients & local produce, Wow yes!, That's made me hungry .

  • @nfragala
    @nfragala Před 11 měsíci

    I make sure to flush my ears with an ear plunger after every dive. Important to use the same ear plunger to dry out the eàrs after by pumping air into them. After that, hydrogen peroxide/apple cider vinegar with a q-tip.

    Why do you shoot with your thumb on top of the handle where you are supposed to aim…? no wonder why your shots are so unprecise

    • @olliecraig-primalpursuit
      @olliecraig-primalpursuit  Před 11 měsíci

      you're not 'supposed' to aim like that. There are a few methods for aiming a speargun. For me I use the point and shoot which comes instinctively and for me is usually very very accurate. I had a few issues in fiji, as using a new gun with a new double flopper shaft which wasn't tuned so was shooting low. (later found this in further pool testing).
