The SL range of ultra-light spear-fishing guns
have been newly designed to blend perfectly with the marine environment.
The SL is a powerful high speed gun with outstanding aim making it ideal
for all types of spear-fishing. The guns have anatomical high grip butts
enabling the gun to be held in line with the arm with no extra effort.
The guns are fitted with a high visibility red safety catch for optimum
safety. Contrary to common belief, compressed air spear-guns do not need to be 'pumped up' during use. Although a pump is provided, unless the gun is taken on board an aircraft or is to be dismantled for service, there is no reason to de-pressurise or re-pressurise the guns. |
| They work in much the same way as an
air rifle, in that the pressurised air within the guns chamber acts as a
highly efficient spring, against which the spear is pushed during
cocking. The SL range is available in two forms - the SL star for full
power and the SL with reducer for less power, to give less chance of the
spear bouncing back when fishing near rocks. The model number of
Cressi-sub spear-guns refers to the length of the spear chamber.

Cressi-sub's policy towards spear-fishing in the UK
Cressi-sub realize that Spear-fishing, whilst very popular in many parts of the world, is frowned upon by some in the British Isles. However, before you decide to e-mail us in disgust and throw away your Cressi-sub mask please remember the following. Spear-fishermen, in our experience are fully aware that their hobby can be hazardous to other people and take the safety of others very seriously. Also, from a conservation point of view, when someone goes spear-fishing they generally catch a few selected fish (if they are skilled enough) and them take them home and cook them for tea. When you visit your local fish and chip shop, the haddock you buy will have been caught in a trawl net, how many other un-useable and immature fish were killed at the same time and then thrown back into the sea, not to mention all the dolphins and sea-birds that die each year in trawl nets.
