The Zebra seabream (Diplodus cervinus) is a common target in breath-hold spearfishing. It usually frequents rocky bottoms and is found between 5 and 30 m, so it pays to adjust your search depth. It is wary, hard to get close to, which shapes how to approach it.
It takes some technique and knowing its behaviour. In Apnaut you have its minimum legal size across 5 different zones. Always check your area's current regulations before taking it.
