Sustainable Spearfishing.
Some people get into Freediving to be able to spearfish later on.
Whilst others start with spearfishing and then venture into Freediving in order to go deeper and stay longer. Whatever the case, all spearos need a solid base in freediving before they can catch anything decent. As a kid I got into spearfishing first, truth be told, I didn’t catch much and if I did it was pure luck. Later on when I got into freediving for freedivings sake and I could go down to depths of 20m+, the game changed in my favour.
