Lauren Landers and her first mate, Allie, host a group from a freediving retreat for a day of spearfishing in the Bahamas.2:41 The group free dives in approximately 50 feet of water, targeting hogfish, grouper, snapper, and yellowjack.2:23 Because Bahamian regulations prohibit the use of spearguns, the divers use pole spears while drifting from a dinghy.2:31 The group encounters sharks immediately upon landing fish, necessitating quick retrieval of the catch to the boat.6:23 Lauren demonstrates the proper technique for loading a pole spear band under the elbow to maintain tension.3:45 After the dive, the crew cleans and fillets the catch on board for sashimi.11:47 During the cleaning process, Lauren sustains a finger laceration while using a knife, which the group treats with hydrogen peroxide and gauze.13:24
