Hello everyone! I am heading to St. George from June 11-24 for vacation. Any tips on freediving sites in the area? Seems to be mostly sand off the beach, but I've heard of some artificial reefs offshore.

I used to spearfish heavily in South Florida, Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Panama. But I've been out of it for the past few years. Looking forward to getting back in the water and teaching my kids to pole spear. I used to dive master, but these days prefer the freedom of freediving to scuba. There must be a few of you Gulf coast hunters out there familiar with the area. Thanks for the help!
 
That area is in the outflow of the Apalachicola River, vis is not usually very good. I don't know anything off the beach, but think bridges, jetties, etc. Check the regs, things have tightened up in recent years; you can't spear where we used to.
