The Sling - Spearfishing in the Bahamas
Primitive spearfishing while freediving is really the only way it should be done - and the most challenging is with a Hawaiian sling. Last September, Mike Portuondo and I spent Labor Day weekend in the Bahamas to best capture the essence of spearfishing with the sling. And of course there were a lot of sharks as well - basically on every dive. Below is the video...

Please be aware of the fact that diving with sharks can be potentially dangerous. Do NOT closely interact with sharks, touch them, feed them unless you are very experienced and know exactly how to interpret their body language. While it might look easy and harmless to interact with sharks the way we do, we do NOT encourage this type of underwater activity.
