Underwater Fishing

[DarinMartell]

Ok, I found this advertised on Craigs list: Scuba Stik!
I thought it was a gimmick someone was trying to sell, then I went to the website and thought it was some elaborate joke. But they are saying PADI offers a cert for this and they will have a booth at "Our world underwater".
Is this as stupid as it seems?

no some people do it the thing with that is you can see the fish and put it right next to their mouths, not sure if some places dont allow spear fishing so that might be another benefit

as to a padi cert in case you hadnt notice padi has some of the most idiotic certifications out there imho

Hey, don't knock it! This, plus the HydroOptix specialty, and the Fish ID specialty, and you're over halfway to becoming a PADI "Master Scuba Diver"!

Thats awesome. I never knew there was such a thing. Only problem is fishing and drinking beer go hand in hand. That could prevent a problem underwater.

Oh and wait you can do boat diver, drift diver, deep diver, nitrox diver, I think there may be an ocean diver, and you could probably do night diver all on one dive woo hooo lol

Bunch of whiners

And yes, some places don't allow spearfishing (or other propulsion fishing), but you can still use other methods

[SmknStang01]

does anybody know, or can anybody direct me to where you can find the regulations on spearfishing while scuba diving... ive looked at the F&G site and i cant seem to find anything.
I live in so. cal and plan on fishing laguna beach and catalina if any one is familiar with those areas.

it is very legit. I talked to the creator and saw a demo at our world underwater. haven't yet bought one but am thinking about it for this summer.
