Technical Spearfishing Technical Scuba diving is generally defined as going deeper than 130 feet. You must have the proper training for this extreme aspect of spearfishing.

Cobia Adventure

Technical spearfishing is a brand new section of Spearboard. The idea came to me after a great cobia spearing experience I wanted to share with you.

This past weekend, I went spearing beneath the waterline on the shipwreck Ande which lies in 200 feet of water just outside the Palm Beach Inlet in Florida.

I sometimes wonder why certain people like me want to go deeper than the recreational diving limit of 130 feet. After all, this activity is indeed dangerous! Maybe it is the bigger fish to be speared sometimes. Maybe it is the isolated wrecks to be explored. Maybe it is the nitrogen narcosis that feels like six beers. Or maybe, it is that famous mountain-climbing explanation: "because it is there."

The profiles and statistics of the dives from my Cochran dive computer for the Saturday and Sunday technical dives are as follows:
