Spearfishing – is fishing with harpoons and underwater instruments. Freediving – is diving with a way of holding the breath, in which divers descend to the depths, so to speak, in one breath, without masks or other breathing apparatus. The best free-divers can hold their breath for 5 minutes and go down deeper than 30 meters. The combination of these two skills results in a real “adrenaline leap”, to which only the boldest dare. All photos in this post have also been made by divers , who dived into the water without a mask and tubing.

“Blood in the Water” Spearfishing is a type of hunting done with underwater guns, harpoons and strong line. Freediving is a type of breath-hold diving in which divers descend for the duration of one breath, without any SCUBA tanks or any breathing apparatus. The best freedivers can hold their breath for over five minutes and go deeper than 100 feet. The combination of both these skills makes a high adrenaline sport done by only a few brave souls…THIS IMAGE – Ren Chapman prepares for a dive with a loaded and ready speargun while another diver rests, holding onto a dive-line to stay in position against the current.  “Blood in the water – Predive”

Kelsey Albert “brains” a hogfish after spearing it while freediving and spearfishing, as a bait-ball of smaller fish sweep in, looking for leftover scraps of meat. Often after a fish is shot and captured, the hunter will stab it in the head to make sure the animal is dead. “Blood in the Water – Hogfish”

DJ Struntz wrestles a large Grouper he shot into a waiting boat. Groupers are a skittish fish,  dwelling on the bottom of the sea-floor, so divers must descend deep and stalk them slowly.

Kenneth Kelly “brains” a barracuda after spearing it while freediving and spearfishing off the coast of North Carolina. He was competing in a spearfishing tournament when this catch was made.

The underwater zoo in Indonesia is an open place for everyone to be at and have a look at the most eye captivating life forms on earth. It stretches 1 to 2 kilometers wide to a length of about 15 kilometers located on the islands of Limbe northern tip of the vast Indonesian island of Sulawesi in the parts of Indonesia to be specific.

In the underwater zoo of Indonesia, there are Pygmy seahorses that one could experience to watch that are very rare and of different sorts too. Living in different colonies that are different from each other on the basis of habitat and mode of food consumption they could be identified by the divers once they set in their trip.

There are also skates that a person could easily see in the underwater zoo in Indonesia but they are so small that one could barely distinguish between them from the appearance. The skates are readily sedentary and they don’t move around a lot. On the side slopes and rocks you could easily see them from a distance.

In the depth of coral reefs in the underwater zoo in Indonesia, divers also find fish-leaf. This type of fish is really interesting to observe because its body is fairly vertical and flattened overall. The movement of this fish is quite unique and it gives an appearance of a side to side movement rather than a total flow. Having a really bright and colorful morphology, this fish has its own means for the protection and shelter from the other beings of the aquatic life. fish tangerine could also be found if you are a luck person because it is quite famous because of how it looks and the color it represents.

He sticks lime bars together leaving bark on the side ones. It gives the impression that a picture is entirely carved out of a tree trunk. Pictures executed in this way are all unique as the traces of knots never repeat themselves…via
