When I was in the Dominican Rep. with the CFO and the kids a year and a half ago we went out on a sailing catamaran to do some snorkeling. We were about a 1/4 mile if not a little more off shore and I see this thing popping up and down in the water and realize it is a native guy swimming and dragging some home made float behind him. I told the Capt. and he said it was OK. These guys are spear fishing and they do it all the time. I asked about sharks and he says oh yeah, we lose a half dozen or so guys around here every year. :o
He said the hotels pay them for their catch as they walk off the beach. I still think of the sight of that little guy with some homemade float and basket swimming that far off shore catching fish. My Lord what a set of balls they got to have.
