Spearfishing is an old fishing method that is still appreciated by many today. Traditionally, spearfishing is for shallow waters, but thanks to new technologies and equipment, spearfishers can now dive into deep waters, with the appropriate training of course. Spearfishing is a popular sport on the mediterranean coast. In France, Croatia or Italy for example, you will meet many people going into the water with spearfishing equipment. However, don't forget to check the law concerning spearfishing in the country you are in before going in the water. Indeed, spearfishing is prohibited in some countries like Germany for example and you risk a fine if you use a speargun to catch a fish. Some countries also allow spearfishing but with a restriction on the fishes you might shoot like carps, gar, etc. So don't forget to check that too. 

Also, security is an important part of this sport. You  must be familiar with waves, currents and tides. Don't forget there might be other spearfishers or swimmers around you, so check your environment before shooting.  Be careful when you dive in a sea or ocean where sharks are common. Don't go in the water when the sun is going down or at night. That's when most of the sharks go hunting and you don't want to meet one then. 

In any case, don't dive alone. No one knows what can happen in the water. You can be stuck somwhere or have a blackout. So be sure someone is with you to avoid any accident. Also, a diving knife is a must have. It allows you to kill your fish, but it is also handy in case of emergency. It can cut net or threads.
