Kiley Umeda can hold her breath for almost four minutes while freediving to spearfish in the clear waters of the pacific ocean near her home on the big island of Hawaii. She has also dove 186 feet deep on a single breath. Kiley has helped me on my journey to learn the sport of freediving and spearfishing and I finally made the trip to Hawaii to spend two days diving and hunting fish and octopus with her. Spearfishing requires a mastery over the hunter's body and mind. A dive of 30 seconds in 25' of water feels like an eternity to me at this stage, and who better to learn from than one of the greatest in the World.  After the second day we sat under a tree  on the lava to record this show. I lost the cover for my microphone and had to cut the fingers off one of my gloves to keep the wind out of the mic so I sound a bit muffled, but y'all aren't here to listen to me. Spearfishing isn't just for tropical saltwater anymore, and we go through what you need to to swim and hunt fish in the waters where you live. Enjoy the show.
