underwater hunting

Submerged prey stalking

Underwater hunting is the pursuit and capture of fish or other aquatic creatures while submerged, typically using spears, spearguns, or pole spears rather than hooks or nets.

The hunter freedives or uses scuba gear to stalk prey in their habitat: He took up underwater hunting to supplement his fishing.

Also called spearfishing.
