B20 - SPEAR FISHING WITH SHARKS

Spear fishing is perhaps the sport that unleashes the most primal hunting instincts in the human being, as the free diver pursues the prey in a foreign element, while the fish is in its element. The amount of adrenaline unleashed is only comparable with the CO2 that rapidly accumulates in the bloodstream, while the free divers has to deal not only with its prey but with sharks and other predators that want to snatch the harpooned fish. For this reason spear fishers lead the statistics in shark attacks, as feeding frenzies can make the shark mistake fish flesh for human limbs. Watch and you swill see how this can occur!
