What is "spearfishing"?
Spearfishing is a method of fishing that involves using a spear or a specialized spear gun to catch fish. This technique is typically done while snorkeling or diving underwater, where the fisherman locates the fish and then thrusts the spear to catch it. Spearfishing requires skill in aiming, as well as the ability to move quietly and swiftly in the water to avoid scaring the fish away. It is often used for catching larger fish or those found in deeper waters, and it is considered both a sport and a traditional method of fishing.
