Spear fishing uses a spring, elastic band, compressed air or bow to propel a sharp spear at a fish. There's a romance and mystique to the ancient sport of spear fishing, which dates back to a time when humans used the power of their own arms to spear fish. Even today, the so-called Blue Hunters of the South Pacific free dive to depths of 100 feet to spear giant tuna. Modern scuba divers who spear fish boast that their pastime is one of the true great hunting adventures in the earth's must untamed and vast wilderness: its oceans.
