Free Diving and Spear Fishing in the Remote Jumentos Cays, in the Bahamas.

Spearfishing while Free Diving is a challenging sport, in which you explore the ocean depths deprived of air while attempting to solve a meal by pure cunning and albeit with some courage. It is the type of hunting that brings to bear the most primal human instincts in their purest forms, as the diver plays hide and seek with the prey in their own environment, and the prey clearly knows what you are trying to do to them, thus making the kill quite a challenge. Added to that you are swimming in open ocean, with considerable waves and current and surrounded by sharks and barracudas that want to snatch and run with your wounded prey. For many people the word hunting or fishing is a no-no, and this is understandable. But before you reject the idea out of the bat, just bear in mind that for us that spear fish, we replace a purchased meal with one caught in the ocean, and in doing so we avoid animal welfare issues of domestic animals, while only harvesting permissible species following the conservation rules of the place, in this case the Bahamas. By watching this video you will get a better understanding of this fascinating sport.
