spearfisher
Diver with trident
A spearfisher is someone who hunts fish underwater using a spear or speargun.
The activity requires diving—either free diving or with scuba gear—and stalking prey in their habitat rather than luring them with bait: The spearfisher waited motionless near the reef until a grouper came within range.
