For Guys New To Spearfishing (Video)

Here's a quick video going over the basics of safety and hunting protocol. Some of the info pertains to Australia so parts may not be useful to Socal conditions. It's a little cheesy but it's worth a watch if you're new to the sport.

I met the bald guy (stig) at a freediving comp. he did a 20:10 static (O2 assisted).

My local club in oz features in the video and man it kinda made me homesick seeing the aussie dive flag and ocean conditions!

You'd think it's almost worthy of a sticky for all the newbies coming onto the board.

Yeah I've watched that video twice. Also shot in Australia. I thought the video I posted today also covered other aspects of diving not related to SWB. But still great link!

Thanks.

No earplugs...? I don't use them but have thought about it. I know guys that do use them and they seem to be ok.
