I know you cant spearfish on a rebreather, but Im trying to plan a trip where I will be on CCR shooting video of spearfishing. Does anyone know what the laws are? Can Rebreather divers and spearfishers even be on the same vessel? Thanks in advance!

Spearfishing laws difffer everywhere. Here in NJ and RI, you *can* spearfish on a rebreather... and people do (on deeper wrecks for bottom fish) although it would be considered gauche to shoot striped bass in the littoral depths that can be dived freediving. Elsewhere the laws differ. So.... check local regs. There's no one sized fits all rule. I *think* Florida has a rule. Check.
A photographer ought to be exempt from the regs in any case.
