Spearfishing is a wild adventure. It’s good for a lot of things: first, it’s insanely fun. Second, it’s a far more sustainable way of eating fish. Third, it’s great exercise, both for your body and your mind. It’s a difficult thing to master, if one can ever really master spearfishing, that is. But intensely satisfying all the same. It’s a partner sport — or it should be, if you’re not into drowning — and having someone there to share in the fun makes it all that much better. Also, though, having someone else there to help when things go wrong (and they will) is exceedingly important.
Such was the case in the video you see above. After shooting a dogtooth, the tuna tangled itself up on a patch of reef somewhere around 130 feet deep. That’s not exactly shallow, and the one who initially shot the fish wasn’t in any shape to dive down to get it. So his partner did it for him. While he didn’t get all the way down to it, he decided to work smarter, not harder. And his efforts were rewarded.
