HOW TO
You can easily spend hours floating and kicking without spotting anything. If you've spent time above water fishing successfully, remember that spearfishing is just a different method. Capitalize on your skill and confidence to locate fish.
It’s standard for experienced divers to have the ability to hold their breath for three minutes or even more. This duration will let you pick an optimal spot underwater and wait until a fish comes along.
Hypoxia is a result of a shallow water blackout that occurs from the lack of oxygen in the body. You’ll only have two minutes to act or brain damage or even death may occur. Having a dive buddy is necessary to avoid such situations.
There are spots that are safe only for the most experienced divers due to the presence of rough waters, tough terrain, or strong currents. All these make it very unsafe for a beginner to spearfish.
