Nice to read others experiences but strict codes and pratices are not required thanks. Lets try NOT to take the personal freedom out of spearfishing FFS. Just be safe and get to know your own limitations... if you want to push those limits then its common sense to do it with like minded others. |

Re: Advice on spearfishing alone
Yea, I've been pretty much diving alone since the early '80's. Even when I'm out with people, we're all doing our own thing. As others have said, don't push it. I don't, I always give myself time, probably come up at 70% or so. Watching free divers die for the last 35 years, it's almost always people who push themselves to be the best/longest diver they can be. I don't. I don't even want to be the best/longest free diver. I want to stay alive. I'm the shortest, safest diver, but I almost always get fish because I've always been a hunter first, and a free diver as a means to an end. They've found some the best spero's in the world at the bottom of the ocean with rocks on their chest. Don't try and be the best, there is no room for error in our sport.

Re: Advice on spearfishing alone
I believe a person, capable of operating the boat should be onboard at all times. If a anchor drags or you come up in a rain storm and can't find the boat your in trouble otherwise.
