Hey Jazman, I've been seriously looking into buying a kayak for a while and its finally looking as if i can get the money together. I'm a big bloke and i like the idea of a kayak i can dive from because i'm totally obsessed with spearfishing and i have been giving serious thought to investing in a cobra fish&dive.
I have read into it as far as i can but cant come to anything conclusive as to whether its good or not. I'm not going to be traveling km's offshore so it doesn't have to be quick but i have read many reports at how slow it is because of its width. Have you found this to be a problem at all? I'm never really going to be more than a km offshore and i want to use it for camping/kayaking trips up the murray. It will mainly be for fishing in less than 10m of water as thats the water i normally dive in and i like the species that hang around seagrass (mainly squid).
If you wouldn't mind i'd like to know what you think the pro's and con's are of the fish&dive are. Also what do you think it will cost me to get one shipped down to Adelaide as they don't sell them here...
