Spearfishing by its very nature is an extreme sport and few activities can rival the excitement and thrill of landing a quality fish. A portion of this satisfaction is borne from overcoming the inherent risks and challenges that spearfishing presents. Spearfishing exposes its participants to the wildest place left on earth, perhaps one of the few untamed places still available. Here the diver is not a spectator but is part of the food chain. Whilst diving, the spearo is completely out of his natural environment, and must adapt accordingly. Spearfishermen face at least 3 major perils: shallow water blackout, sharks, and line tangles. None of these threats should be under-estimated.
