 | | The selectivity springs from the great deal of time and training (and ecological appreciation this time creates) required to be give a person the skills to freedive spearfish, and the belief system embraced by all IUSA and related freedivers (which mandates very limited numbers of fish taken, and ecological awareness in selecting species to hunt). |
 | | Freedivers are alone in this association of fish seeking user groups, in that extraordinary training, fitness, understanding of the marine eco-system, and the behavior and interaction of fish is a requirement for them alone. |
