I may have to give the necklace a shot.
I got to make my first rig dives a few weeks ago. One of the guys down here is a member of the hell divers and I jumped on a boat for the last day of the rodeo.
It's been something I have been wanting to do for a long time, just never had the nerve. But after doing it once, I can't wait to get back stateside. It is unbelievable the amount of life under the rigs. I couldn't appreciate it until I saw it for myself.
I shot a red snapper at 145 and swam it up to about 70 to handle it. The entire trip up, a 30lb AJ was nipping at it. Made it to 70', pulled the line up and had the shaft in my hand and literally had to push the AJ away. It was just the coolest thing ever. I loved it.

Ill have to look into everything suggested and read more about BP&W set ups. I like the idea of it being easy to transport, and the secondary on a necklace sounds extremely convenient and safe.
On another note I have about 15-20 dives under my belt deepest being 105'. If anyone has a spot on a spearfishing gulf trip let me know. Been offshore fishing for a long time but have never been around people that dive the rigs. I just want to experience it.
