This video is a true inspiration for all free divers who have ever had the desire to try spearfishing. The brilliant photography shown is with out a doubt, the best I have ever seen on any spearfishing documentary. Underwater images of Tahitian spearfishermen hunting, great footage of Terry landing his world record Bluefin tuna and the gear that he used. Beautiful scenes of Catalina Island, California, hunting for white sea bass are just a few of the highlights.

In the video he also takes you back in time to meet two ledgendary figures who are recognized as the fore fathers of spearfishing as a sport, and pioneers in developing the first free diving gear. They also started the first club dedicated to spearfishing and freediving.

Terry is very candid as to conveying the dangers that are associated with this exhillarating sport. This is a very important part of the video, as most people who get involved are not fully aware of what may occur.

Terry has a genuine enthusiasm that all spearfishermen share for spearfishing and shows this very well, right from the rush of adrenaline before shooting a fish, to simply freediving among spectacular sea creatures such as Whale Sharks. The interaction freedivers have with these immense creatures is well depicted as Terry and some friends hitch a ride on ones back.

The video lacks in some of the technical areas of the sport because of the detail needed to clearly convey them, but this is more than made up for in the accompanying book, which depicts and explains all aspects of the sport in detail. I would definitely recommend having both the book and video if you are seriously contemplating getting involved or are already involved.

This is an extremely entertaining video you will enjoy viewing with friends over and over again.

It was more of a doc than a hunters movie. It was a little slow, but did learn a bunch of new stuff about free diving and spear fishing.

Really Cool when you think about the action that takes place, beneath the waves, during a single breath that's being held. This film is indeed a documentary, and one that I really enjoyed ...

not a whole lot of action, mostly informative.great to watch on one of those sleepless nights;)
