Hey there, everyone! We wanted to put together a list of fish you may see here in the Med while spearfishing. Some are much more common than others, but when we first got started it was hard to identify what was what and even harder because most things are referred to in their Spanish name here (obviously so).
We hope this is helpful to you and be sure to reach out if we missed one!
