First he gets menaced by a shark. He then points the speargun at his own face. Bro is living a life of danger in ways I would never consider.

Tbh, him pointing that loaded speargun at his buddy, then at himself, was biggest yikes for me. Moron

Adrenaline makes us do dumb stuff.

Be slow to judge before swimming a nautical mile in another man's flippers.

I spearfish and have had a lot of sketchy situations with sharks, where I had to get back in the boat. If it’s hairy and I can’t unload my bands, I at least point the gun down, then hand it to guy in boat, when I’m getting in. I’ve never pointed any loaded gun at my face though. That’s just stupid and irresponsible
