n the Atlantic Ocean, 17 miles southeast of Miami and 100 feet under the surface of the water, Lazaro Cabrera reaches the sunken remains of a steel freighter and swims inside. The lean 41-year-old, in an army-green tage | a rt | Film D ish m usi C camouflage wetsuit, scans for movement. Thirty sec- Ionds pass, and then he sees it: a four-foot barracuda glinting in the refracted sunlight. He raises his spear gun and shoots, and a tiny red cloud bursts in the water. He has impaled the creature. He pulls the spear out of its body and stabs the back of its head behind the eyes to end its life. It’s now been almost two minutes since Cabrera last took a breath. Cabrera clenches his jaws and blows any leftover air from his lungs into his middle ear to equalize the pressure. He oscil- lates his flippers quickly, like some underwater creature. After ascending 80 feet, suddenly his long plastic fishing line twirls around his left ankle, yanking him down. It’s caught on a plum- meting anchor. He looks up and sees the shadow of a boat NEW TIMES BROWARD-PALM BEACH overhead. The surface — just 20 feet away — is in fast retreat. New Times Broward-palm B each Tranquilo, tranquilo, Cabrera tells himself. It’s been three minutes since he last inhaled. If his heart rate increases, his body will need more oxygen. If that happens, he’ll surely black out and drown. With his right hand, Cabrera reaches for the folding knife tucked at his waist. He tries to cut the line but becomes disoriented and drops the knife. This is it, he thinks. A few carbon-dioxide bubbles dribble out of his mouth — a sign that he is running out of time. Dios, por favor, ayudame, Cabrera prays. No quiero morir. God, please, help me. I don’t want to die. Cabrera kicks frantically. Finally, his $150 long-fin flipper shakes off and he’s free. That was two years ago. Cabrera was too unnerved to go

back in the water that afternoon, but the following day, at 4 D M a.m., he woke up and took his boat to the Matheson Hammock ecember ONTH Marina to spearfish once more.

“I was born to do this,” Cabrera says, discussing his career at XX–M his home in Hialeah. “It’s the only thing I’ve ever done that was 31, 2015-J mine and I was good at. It’s not just my livelihood but my life.”

Cabrera is one of about six commercial spearfishermen in ONTH South Florida, making a living killing fish one by one. Now that anuary the demand to fill restaurants and fisheries with local, fresh XX, 2008 fish is higher than ever, Cabrera goes out six days a week —

Now that Cuba and the United States have begun to normalize relations, Cabrera is planning a return visit to Cuba. It’s been a decade since he left. His son who stayed there is now 14.

Now, it hasn’t even been a minute, but his heart is racing and he needs oxygen. Cabrera climbs on the boat and desperately scans the surface for his son but doesn’t see him. His thoughts flash with worst-case scenarios. Finally, he spots Mario’s snorkel and exhales.
