Scuba and Freediver???
I am kinda new here and this forum is pretty awesome. I know a lot of guys that spearfish on scuba and a few guys that freedive, but we never go diving together. Why don't freedivers and scuba spearfishing guys get along? And why is scuba spearfishing illegal in some places?

At the time they identifie the spearos as possible unfair and dangerous competitors in the reef. This is why scuba hunting there got banned as well as spearing at night, with torch.... A political/ irrational décision as usually done to confort people/ electors... I'v been exclusively free-diving for more than half a century whatever the country all over the blue planet.. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtYNDMdR0dqMF4-WUFi0LBg

Re: Scuba and Freediver???
Completely different techniques, ways of hunting....think about it. Freedivers floating above a reef or wreck breathing up getting ready to dive....whereas scuba spearos hit the water fast, charge to the bottom to suprise wary fish. Scuba stay down and drift when there's current. Freedivers move down like a ghost. For a relatively limited amount of time.
The two techniques don't mesh well, not saying it can't be done but it is often one or the other. |

I enjoy both for different reasons.
