Diving the Sharkiest Offshore Spot for THIS Fish!

The Islamorada Humps are one of the few places in the Keys I have been warned about getting in the water. After so many shark encounters elsewhere, I figured it was time to see what all the fuss was about. It is also one of the only spots in the Keys where you can spear tuna, specifically blackfin tuna. So in this video, we set out to dive the sharkiest spot in the Florida Keys, with a goal of spearing my first blackfin tuna!

In this video I headed out with my buddies Reed and Carson. The goal was to land a blackfin tuna with a speargun, and to be honest it was a big ask.
