Spear Fishing

Spear fishing was a way of getting food before it became a sport. Tens of thousands of years ago, the fist device used for spear fishing was a simple pointed wooden spear, also called a pole spear. The modern spear fisherman has a lot more options to choose from and a variety of more effective methods.

Today, you can spear fish while snorkeling, free diving or scuba diving, although many spear fishing "purists," who have been into the sport for several years, frown upon these techniques. They believe that the true sport of spear fishing is using a traditional pole spear.
