Normally you would use a powerhead if your using a bullet. Most I see for sale are .38 or .44 pistol calibres. I saw a 12 gauge one the other day but idk how that would work because I wouldn’t expect a shotgun shell to be water proof. Power-heads are normally used for defence against sharks, not “offence” for hunting purposes.

The obvious, better choice would be a speargun and a local club member shot a 95kg black two weeks ago with a speargun. Not sure why you would want to eat one that big but some guys just need to be able to say they did. The couple month old babies around ~20kg are delicious and stripies are supposed to be excellent too but I’ve never caught a stripy under 350lbs so I’ve never tried one.
