MEMBER PROFILE

Propelled by the powerfully smooth kick of fins, engulfed in a deep blue world, the sound of bubbles and the sharp crackle of the reef, the only sounds of life pulsating from the underwa- ter city, spearfisherman Titus Mei-Zhi Salter is right where he feels most at home—a place that puts most people on edge. Calmly cruising through the depths, Salter keenly observes the movement of ocean life around him, taking cues from the patterns of sand movement below, the temperature changes of depths, and the influx of current. Passionate spearfisherman Titus Salter is determined to share this sport with more members. By Mara Pyzel & Jasmine Chagnon Photos by Matt Heirakuji

OUT TO SEA: The annual fishing compe on now includes spearfishing as a category—thanks to the commitment and dedica on of Salter. His passion was ignited by his grandfather and is fueled by his endless fascina on of the sea.
