About the Author

Doug Peterson is a recreational fisherman who began his journey into spearfishing in 1998. Shortly after getting his SCUBA certification, he learned about freediving and spearfishing and has not put on a dive tank since. With a passion for the sport and an enthusiasm for cooking and eating fresh fish, he felt the urge to share his knowledge with people who are just getting started. He currently lives and dives in the central New Jersey shore area after moving from Newport, Rhode Island in 2005.
