Holding Your Breath – Key West Freedivers know that Sharks Call the Shots Key West Perspective

    • Places & Travel

Key West has a long history of freediving (diving without a SCUBA tank), and those divers make up the majority of the local spearfishing population. What they probably don't tell you is that there is a lot more to it than taking a deep breath and jumping over the side of the boat. We talk with local spearfisherman Robert Bond on how one wrong move can mean serious trouble, what you need to try spearfishing for the first time, and how Key West differs from other areas.
