History Spearfishing

During the 1960s, a campaign was led by Ralph Davies and Michael Crenshaw to have spearfishing recognized as an Olympic sport. This never came to be. There is a long list of World Records for the largest catch by species carrying on to the current day. Two organisations, the International Underwater Spearfishing Association (IUSA) [1] and the International Bluewater Spearfishing Records Committee IBSRC [2], offer a complete set of rules to insure that any world record setting fish is caught under fair conditions. Spearfishing is illegal in many bodies of water, and some locations only allow spearfishing during certain seasons.

Modern-type sport spearfishing started on the French Riviera in the 1930's. At first, divers used no more aid than ordinary watertight swimming goggles, but it led to development of the modern scuba diver's mask and swimfins and snorkel. Some Italian sport spearfishers started using oxygen rebreathers, and from that came the Italian commando frogmen.

In 2007, the Australian Bluewater Freediving Classic became the first spearfishing tournament in the world to be accredited and was awarded 4 out of 5 stars based on environmental, social, safety and ecomomic indicators Recfish Australia
