Hi, it was very calm day, water was cold but good visibility. Me and my friend Erik had been diving for 2\3hours. I dived down to 19,7mts, the total time was 1.47s, I lied down between some big rocks and did some noise, at that moment a lot of Trigger Fish surrounded me, and just as I thought the dive was done, here comes a big dentex from the middle of the other fish, very calmly, and with a very clear water and a 3\4 meters distance from my spear I shot him on the back of the head and he died instantly. He came to surface with me on that same dive.
