so this gun is made out of pretty much
all found materials the spirit self made
out of a piece of steel rod has a simple
but effective barb here to keep a fish
from wriggling off and escaping the
other end of the spear has these little
grooves filed into the end of it that
fit into a trigger meat out of a found
rusty nail it locks it in there like
that then there’s a piece of inner tube
with wire attached to the end fits into
a group like that this is locked and
loaded hairpin trigger amazing time to
put my homemade weapon to the test
spearfishing is a complex combination of
skills that requires breath control
extreme concentration and excellent
hand-eye coordination
and just one element out of sync can
make the whole enterprise impossible
you’re just can’t see anything when your
goggles fill up with water
I’m still working out the bugs with my
new body goggles these are constructed
from a single piece of hand-carved wood
and a section of window glass and are
custom made for each individual diver
they’re designed to last under these
waters and mine are now doing their job
but the fish I’m coming across are small
and fast and extremely hard to hit
trying to go down and stock a fish gonna
hold your breath everything just gets
frustrating down there I need to
remember to relax like the Bajau they
are the best divers I’ve ever known
often starting before they can walk and
improving long into old age their
ability underwater has been compared to
sea otters and nothing distracts them
from their ultimate target
