I think the natives will be fine. They don't go deeper than they can freedive anyway. Most of them can't figure out how to run a fishing rod and find a spear is much easier to work with.
On the other hand, I would much rather run a rod and reel and keep Seacraft between my legs and the sharks.

I don't know. I've run a Seacraft over there many times and then used both rod-n-reel, AND spear to bring in the fish .
Biggest red snapper I ever caught was with a pole spear on the WWII B-26 bomber wreck just SE from the Bacardi docks on New Providence Island. 5' pole spear with a 15" 3-prong Paralyzer tip got me a 22 lb red snapper. (That was when I lived at Compass Point on New Providence in the Bahamas, and worked for Most Holy Trinity church. I was diving from an 8' Avon inflatable with a 2.5 hp Seagull OB)
