GREAT news for the Spearfishing community

Hi,

I came across this article.

OUCH! Diver spears himself in groin | General | Coast news | thedaily.com.au

And that's why I don't spearfish!

I dread being in the same waters as them. Especially when they are in low vis waters and have no idea were the spear will end up if it misses its target.

I had one heck of a scary experience with that group of divers while I was escorting a group of new divers at Ft Wetherill for O.S.S. I was jabbed in my stomach and thighs by 2 different spear guns as 2 out of control divers started clammering over us. Thankfully the spears never left the guns. They did apologize and their leader took the guns away from them.
