I just do freediving...I'm actually not even certified to do scuba. Anyway I was talking with a scuba guy who does a lot of spearfishing and he was saying if he sees 2 to 4 decent fish per dive that's a good day. When I go out I usually see 10-15 decent fish, get close enough to shoot 5-8 and if I'm lucky hit 4. So here's my question.
How many fish do you see per dive that are worth shooting when you are freediving vs. when you are doing scuba. Those members who have fished the same areas both ways will have particularly helpful responses.
It may be best to also explain where you're diving (I'm on the east coast of the U.S. Rhode Island) so obviously I'll see less fish than someone doing reef diving in Florida. I'm just curious how big a difference all those bubbles make.
Also if anyone uses a rebreather....a little pricey I know but just in case....and has tested that to see if it makes a difference that would be fun to know also.
Thanks to all who respond.
