Why can't people who spear fish wear scuba gear?

I was watching Sharkweek and they mentioned that people who go spear fishing by law are not allowed to wear scuba gear. I was wondering if someone could elaborate more on that law. Thank you!

"Spearfishing may be done using free-diving, snorkeling, or scuba diving techniques. However, spearfishing while using SCUBA or other artificial breathing apparatus is frowned upon in some locations and is illegal in many others. Because of the belief of lack of sport in some modern spearfishing techniques, the use of mechanically-powered spearguns is outlawed in some jurisdictions."

Like any married couple, Henry and Edna have their nuances. Henry's slow driving habits and his tendency to roll his hankie up in the car window to dry are enough to make Edna want to shove him out the door. Henry must contend with his wife's snoring and hogging up the bed, but through it all they still love each other, and in spite of everything, reminisce about their wedding and how their life together all got started.

Take Care of Your Scuba Gear and it Will Take Care of You

When you have a good amount of money invested in scuba diving equipment, it’s only logical to maintain it properly to last you many years. Not to mention your safety and well being are dependent on the same scuba gear used in every dive you make.

 

Are You Neglecting Your Scuba Diving Gear

 

Nothing shortens the life of your scuba equipment more than salt water, where the majority of scuba diving is done. If not properly rinsed off after a dive salt crystals (that are extremely abrasive) will be left on your gear, and will begin to destroy it.

After a dive, be sure to rinse (with fresh water) all your basic equipment like your mask, fins, boots and snorkel.

 

The buoyancy compensator (BC) must be rinsed inside and out. After completely rinsing off the outside of BC the bladder must washed out. This is very important and probably the most overlooked step in the preventive maintenance of your scuba gear. First drain out any salt water trapped in bladder. Then put some fresh water in bladder and shake vigorously letting water run out of mouthpiece. Repeat this process 2 or 3 times. Be sure all water is out of bladder.

 

If you use a wetsuit it’s very important to rinse this in side and out. Turn the suit inside out to insure getting all salt off. The regulator must be rinsed and purge air thru to get any water out.

 

Make sure your scuba diving gear is completely dry before storing in a cool dry place. Don’t dry your scuba equipment in direct sunlight; the rays also shorten the life of scuba gear. Keep your mask in a protective plastic box so the lens doesn’t get scratched. Store your buoyancy compensator on a sturdy hanger and fins in flattened state.

 

Make It a Habit

 

Once you have made this routine a habit, you will see how quickly and easy preventive maintenance on scuba gear really is. Save yourself money and aggravation when on vacation trying to relax and enjoy.
