Episode covering buddy basic’s for spearfishing

*This episode is heavily based off this blog post by Turbo.

The reasons to have a clear spearfishing buddy protocol are multitude;

1. 1. Your mate could save your life in the event of blackout
   2. You could save your mates life in the event of blackout
   3. You land more fish (more fish in the cooler/esky/chilli bin). Second shots etc
   4. You can relax more knowing someones got your back
   5. Increased visibility – boats and other ocean users can see you easier
   6. You enjoy each others success (high five times)
   7. You learn your buddies habits and learn more
   8. More! Put your own ideas in the comments:)

Did you know ?Blackouts can happen after a diver has surfaced. Keep an eye on your buddy until they have completed their Hook breaths or recovery breaths and given the all clear. #buddydive #noobspearopodcast #spearfishing #spearfishing_international #freediving #pescasub
