Snorkeling Fish and techniques

2010-09-07T12:55:00.000+03:00

Everyone, more or less able to hold their breath and dive. Besides, the sea "accept" everyone. Those who are quite old, less practiced, smokers ... The one to dive in one breath is a skill, which brought as much, so go up its performance.

In the process of free diving are critical points and safeguards, so it would be very bad idea to follow some courses freediving in a school licensed by the Federation. There you will learn useful things and accelerate its development.
It can be said unequivocally that the spear fishing is a panacea or "skeleton key" if you prefer, a fishing tool which grabbed all kinds of fish. The more practiced we know how to apply the technical approach the game, and can catch snappers, amber jacks and all sorts of big rock fish.
The sea, however, would seem generous and beginners. Apart from the easy game, the "immobile targets" such as molluscs, mullet, languages, etc., they will often have the opportunity to bring to the table holiday big head, Skaros and edge, and the progress and development will reflected as time passes, both in quality and the quantity of fish.
The ways to approach a shot at the fish, which is the aim, four different methods are referred to as techniques.
The steep descent to the fish standing or moving slowly on the bottom, in the slang of underwater fisherman called planing. The duration of the diver 'falls' down by one point after the dive, due to negative buoyancy. The lack of traffic and his calm approach is often reassuring to the fish and there only remains the relevance of the hunter to seal success.

The Carter is a technique that only the last two decades was developed in the Greek seas. In this, the diver stopped somewhere in the bottom, leaving the initiative to approach the game. The reasons why a fish would do that vary from simple curiosity to enforce the living space. It's a fascinating technique, whereby the range of the game psarokynigou expanded, including difficult and incredulously fish such as bream and various pelagic species.
The imagination and improvisation, dedicated to this way of hunters brought to the fore in recent years syrto baffle a technique that combines an ambush on the move. The results are impressive and extremely exciting.
In the fishing hole, the hunter trolling dynamically investigating exposures of the rocks, hitting the fish in their booths. This is the first technique employed and paid a game. The downside is the risk of major snippy sipper, a risk is far from negligible and will be discussed in next chapter.

Risks

Like all things in life, so to scuba dive there are risks, which must not ignore, nor can it reaches a level of fear. The way you perform an activity and not the activity itself is what creates the dangerous incident. Go fishing with apnea should know that any dip in the number one challenge remains the early exit to the surface and not the fish hunt.
The prolonged, off-limits apnea, leads the body to hypoxia, a condition lipothymiki on land would have no consequence, but the sea typically involves choking. It is statistically proven that in many cases, hypoxia was caused by snippy deck or other rock fish. The successive dives, increased stress and muscular effort requires a xevrachoma often proved fatal factors. So here is why fishing in stone should be preferred. The presence of a partner's safety factor, and is a practice to be followed by anyone, especially when it is still at an early stage of training.
The rapidly increasing number of fast boats, but the lack of information and pilot training have been the causes of a large number of accidents in recent years. The float marks the existence of man overboard, unfortunately ignored by many pilots and does not fully implement the one. It should be a very careful and avoid to fish in crowded places and if possible, be supervised by an experienced boat captain and skilful sea.
These are generally the on the rods with apnea. The sea demands our respect and if the agent enters the killing of prey will be what happens to refrain from concepts such confirmation, recreation, fun. The correct approach to the sea can open an unexpected path, a way which for many is consistently valuable in a world that is difficult to find stuff.
So if you feel the call of not hesitate. There, beneath the water surface, sea food karpizei you. There you will wake up to the hunter for centuries suffocates you. There also will make the dream of working in three dimensions, the dream of flight. Perhaps you can feel the time to expand, almost stop, like you stopped breathing.
