Question 2

Looking for a scuba diving spear to fend off sharks, will this hold up?

Accepted Answer

I have a lot of years of ocean diving and have had limited issues with sharks.  A family member did have a scary issue with a seriously aggressive hammerhead while free diving among a school of dolphin about 30 miles offshore, so don't buy into the myth about dolphins and sharks!  Camera housings, tanks, you name it, will generally work for guiding curious sharks on their way.  When I was concerned I carried a shark dart (CO2 hypodermic spear) or a bang stick (with either it is the expanding gases that do the job).  Both are driven home with a rubber tubing sling and are dramatically more effective than a knife, spear, or whatever nonsense you saw on late night re-runs of "Sea Hunt with Lloyd Bridges".  Eventually I pretty much stopped carrying anything but an Ikelite housing.

If you must use a knife for defense against a shark, there is only one proven method - as the shark approaches slowly remove your knife from the sheath, and while still in a crouched position, slash your buddy's leg, then swim like hell for the boat. (After repeated shark encounters you may find it progressively more difficult to recruit new dive buddies.)

Dark humor aside, I can't think of a worse idea than stabbing a shark - they are better armed and more skilled at fighting with sharp objects than you will ever be, and they are in their element - you aren't.  You probably won't see the attack approach of the one that finally decides to hit you, but you can discourage and avoid the rest.      If push comes to shove, then shark darts will not only kill the shark but they will also physically remove them from your vicinity, and bang sticks are similarly effective.

Keep in mind also that there are many other fish that can be aggressive and dangerous - divers occasionally get attacked by all sorts of creatures, in fresh water as well as salt..

As a final note, if you have an instructor who encourages things like carrying a spear for shark defense, you are being trained by a "hero diver".  Hero divers are a particular breed of idiot who will get you killed.  Find someone else to be your mentor.  And if all your training was a quick course at some resort then please go get proper training - safe diving requires a great deal of mental conditioning and physical repetition - the life you save will be your own.

Stay safe, have fun, and save the spear for use as a navigational aid when shopping on Black Fridays.
