That's what we call
Agguato......or, so you learn a new italian technical phrase,
A Strusciapanza (literally: "belly rubbing").
The basic is that the fish mustn't see you or feel your presence before it's too late for them.
So:
-reduce to minimum the reconessance from the surface: you don't have to dive down when you see the fish. First go to the bottom, then go around looking for fish.
- sure, as you say, turn behind rocks and see it there's fish behind. Meanwhile, the rock between you and the fish will prevent the fish to feel your vibration and noise.
- belly rubbing: belly on the bottom, don't move your fins use your free hand, keep everything that could be noisy on your back and not on your belly, I'm talking of beltweights, knife, belt reel, everything on your back (some guys cover the belt buckle with fabric or rubber sheets to make it stealthier).
...
...and there's much, much more to follow. Agguato is a BIG science
Open to the contributions of you all!
