Omer is owned by Technosport Co. which has recently acquired Sporasub, a line of high end freedive spearfishing equipment that has pushed the evolution of spearfishing gear to the max. This is a company I am proud to endorse due to their integrity in product performance and reliability.

Here is a photo of Dan with a large Yellowfin Tuna shot with a Sporasub one slip tip.

When I am Scouting I need to record every piece of data, and that I why I use Liquid Image HD video masks to get the job done. I am proud to be sponsored by this outstanding company and I fully believe that their products have helped me become a more successful hunter.
