Spearfishing Panamanian Style

We went to visit a beach on the other side of the island-

Starfish Beach

it was about a 20 minute taxi ride 

through the interior of the island. 

But it was well worth the time- 

Nothing commercialized about this beach.

We grabbed our spears and started snorkeling.

Starfish were huge and plentiful.

So were the dolphins 

 A few thatched huts were on the beach 

where the locals ran the 

boat taxis on and off the beach, 

but other than that there was not much going on.

We went around the island 

a bit and found this great rock jetty-  

the fish were plentiful on the reef.

Bleus first spear of the day.

Can you tell what this is?

He speared 7 of them 

in about 30 minutes.

The smallest stingrays I have ever seen.

As I look at this picture I think I must be the Worst Mom Ever.  

Not only am I letting my boys swim around 

with sharp spears in their hands

 but one is spearing multiple stingrays 

and the others are still snorkeling.

Have they lost their minds???
