How do I learn to spearfish. Do I take a class or can I just go out with someone. I really would like to learn more about it but need someone to show me what to do.

SuPrBuGmAn:Some dive ops will offer spearfishing classes. I'm sure most poeple just went with others who've done and watched and learned from them. Thats pretty much what I did...
I'd recommend starting out with a polespear, it'll help your aiming and depth perception. They're a bit easier to handle UW, which will help you get acclimated to messing with the new tool as well as working with the fish once you've hit em.
Get a nice big gun from there
