So it's the talk of town & many others on spearfishing forums. The all new Niletec 100 series. I have to say that our friend & Team Mazameer member/founder Ihab AKA Master & Commander has spent alot of time, effort & money to come up with this great canon. At the early stages it was quite unclear if this dream will come true. A speargun that competes & even supersedes the internationally branded ones. The Niletec 100 is manufactured 100% locally with the most advanced technologies & complicated wood carving machines. It is built from genuine aged teak wood laminations to compensate the rough conditions of the sea water. The Niletec spearguns also come with the slick & durable stainless steel accessories from the handle trigger guard, line guidance & finally the 100% locally mastered Niletec variety of trigger mechanisms that were created & developed by Ihab.

Our trips do not only stop at the cause of hunting & joy, but also includes serious testing to this speargun with its variety of models & prototypes before production. I'm sure if you have been through this blog posts you will notice that the Niltec is our usual companion. It will not only stop at this level. Continuous research & amendments are still being processed as we go, tested by several hunters & professionals around the world & it all goes back to the great effort of Engineer Ihab. I have included some visuals of some details to the Niletec spearguns however; if you need to know more information and even more details about the Niletec 100; please visit www.niledivers.com

Summer is knocking our doors now & it will be the summer of records. As much as it's exciting, as much as it will be unfortunate not to have our team member Ximo Teruel with us, who passed away in April 2011. May he Rest in Peace. We can't deny his contribution to the development of the Niletec speargun & many other enhancements over both group & personal levels in our wonderful spearfishing activities.
