No, regulations don't make things ethical. 100 day's made a great comment.
Legal does not mean ethical. Ethical does not mean moral.

just a really bad personal thing with me I guess... just could not help making the remark. I guess regulations make things ethical don't they? (sorry, couldn't help making that remark either)
and of course.. you're all freediving while spearing fish right?

Do you hold your breath when you hit McDonald's? Or the supermarket? What the heck does breath-holding when hunting have to do with where you get your dinner? Silly.
Oh, and to those that think spearfishing (or hunting in general) is a sport, you're sick in the head. Sports require two sides both willing to engage. Shooting fish doesn't qualify. And I don't have anything against spearing for the sake of eating. But if you're getting off on the kill as opposed to the meal, seek help.
I've been to tournaments where I was one of the two freediving and everyone else was using scuba.. we all got along fine..
troll... no, I'm not
Sick in the head.. I must be.. because everytime I've been spearfishing it feels almost exactly like when I play ball of any kind.. truley a sport.. you try to the get the basketball in the hoop and you try to get the spear in the fish... it's all sport, sport..
