Hello again! To start i've been spearfishing for about 2 years (this is the 2nd year), but this year my parents won't let me go spearfishing (it took me a week to make them let me go and teach spearfishing at 7m to my 18 year old cousin from Sweden who came to visit me for summer). So for a month we were going spearfishing with my polespear mostly (we got octapus,mullets,perch,flatfish, and a sargus) and occassionaly (about 3 times) with one of my uncles demka velos 75 and cressi appache 90, but they won't let me go spearfishing alone (im 70% ok with that) or with one or more of my friends (one same age as me (15) spearfishes 3 years and his cousin 23 who has been spearfishing for over 12 years) because last August my cousin (another not the Swedish guy) who was also a very close family friend and was going at 35m ALONE drowned, (actually had hypoxia).
What can i do to convince them that i'm not going to overestimate my strengths, and that im going to be careful and always be with someone? I really love spearfishing and i can't stand not being able to do it, and next year i'm planning to buy and a speargun of my own (Apnea Rayo Carbon 83).
It's okay now because i don't go spearfishing at winter (1-2times the most) beacause of school and because i also go hunting, but spring-summer i have to go spearfishing or i'll go mad...
Oh, and my father used to go spearfishing for 25 years until last summer...
