Offshore oil platforms are artificial reefs - Fish love it

Take note of how clear the water is in this spearfishing video. It's not very well known that oil rigs make great support systems for fish and other sea life. A man made artificial reef. Video from Hell Divers.

Spearfishing using SCUBA? shameless

[ryfitz75]

Here is what I see is the major difference in scuba vs free diving for spearfishing. I respect both but they are 2 different beasts in themselves. I see the freedivers go down with spearguns that have huge reels on them so all they have to do is swim down,nice and quiet,shoot and swim to the surface and reel the fish in. The way scuba spearfisherman do it,we have no reels on our spearguns. My gun has about a 10 ft cable on it so I can fight the fish when I am down there. its all about the fight!

stupid way to fish

[hellgirl2189]

hahahah nice mangosnapper35.. i just can`t understand why some hate scuba spearos ( i`m a freedive spearo) i respect both. scuba is dangerous add that entanglement problems in oil rigs. i don`t have any problem with people who spearfishes with scuba as long as they respect the ocean and marine life. good day all :)

@gtrmanny5928 you can eat aj's.....

[Rowrsome]

lol ive done both scuba and free diving. only reason i like freediving is u can do it all day long haha not 2 maybe 3 dives and ur done. both fun though

[mangosnapper35]

Most snorkle jockeys have no clue about spearfishing in water deeper than 100 feet. They hate because they are jealous and use freediver elitism as a crutch to justify not having the knowledge and ablility to shoot fish in the deep end of the pool. Too bad they are missing out. They even have their own "world records" that excludes everyone but snorkle jockeys..... what a joke! They will never catch up with tech scuba shooters and will just keep hating from the kiddy pool...

@t10parwani lets see you shoot a 70 pound cobe in 10 foot viz with no tank and at 100+ feet... not so tough now r ya
