But be advised that it is alot more than simply jumping in and shooting them as they swim by. You'll be spending the first year developing your hunting and breath hold skills with not alot to show for it. It's like anything else - the seasoned experts make it look easy.
I say go for it, on those clear water days the things you see make the whole trip worth it, even if you don't connect. Get a medium size gun for the kelp clipped off to a float thats towed behind you. The float alerts boats that you are there, and if you connect with a tanker the gun is tied off and won't get lost. You don't want a reel for the hunting you will be doing.

I am not to worried about it I do a lot of free diving this is just adding a speargun in my hands
