I feel bad for him, but Jeez Louise! Never, ever enter or exit water with a loaded speargun. It's a rookie mistake.

TV video shows his left inside elbow bandaged up. Didn't look bad, But they life-flighted him??....wonder if because the spear was still in his arm{speculation}
Bad week for spearo's...we lost another one off Ft. Myers freediving Tuesday.
