Spearfishing is a sport growing very quickly in New Zealand. Matt Lind has been doing it for quite a few years and has some good advice for those wanting to get into the water. For me, spearfishing has become an obsession. Over the last 10 years it has taken up more and more of my free time and has now become the central focus of my working life as well.

Winter still has its grip on the watery world at this time of year, however Matt Lind shares how to pick the hot conditions for cold water diving and hunting.

As an adventure sport, spearfishing can be very safe; but the ocean is an unforgiving environment to the underprepared.
