They allow fishing on the Grove, Bibb, all the deep wrecks in the Keys. That means you could get hooked! Spear fishing is generally not dangerous for those not fishing. Its also not dangerous for those going after smaller fish. It may attract sharks.
For those spearing a large Grouper or Amberjack or any 40lbs+ game fish it can be a risk. They can pull you down or wrap you up. Paying $20 for your meal is smarter than loosing your life.
As this accident shows Spear fishing can be dangerous. This is not the first time a fisherman was killed when the line entangled the hunter. Sticking with smaller prey is not a bad decision.
