About The Spear: Spearfishing | Freediving | Apnea | Fishing
From the publisher's feed
The Spearfishing Podcast I wish existed when I was starting out. I am your host Roman Castro from SpearoBlog. I started THE SPEAR to interview other Spearos and Spearfishing companies to learn from…
their experiences and share them with YOU. Fishing, Freediving, Apnea, Gear, Rigging, Training, anything related to Spearfishing is fair game. I interview spearos and freedivers of all levels and give you access to their stories, insights, and advice. The show is broken up into 4 segments. ‘THE NEW SPEARO’ you learn how our guest got into spearfishing, what obstacles they faced, and how they overcame them. ‘THE TRIDENT’ you get three pieces of advice for beginner spearfishers. ‘THE SALTY SPEARO’ our guest shares the highlights of their spearfishing journey to date like; most epic spearfishing trip and most memorable fishing stories. ‘THE SPEAR’ based on their years of experience our guests share their single best insight. If you love spearfishing THE SPEAR podcast is for YOU.
