Spearfishing is a selective & sustainable method of fishing that has been used around the world for millennia, with early civilisations using sharpened sticks in local rivers and streams, though the sport has moved on a bit since then!

Dive under, explore a new playground, and experience first-hand why this sport is growing so rapidly. 

We offer courses to help you gain a better understanding of breathing techniques, knowledge on maintaining and setting up your equipment, and the skills you need to hunt efficiently and safely.

Our Spearfishing Courses run once a fortnight.

You can view our upcoming dates on our Facebook page. Don’t see the course you want? Need alternative dates? No problem, you can contact us for any queries!

A good freediver is what makes a successful spearfisher. If you’d like to give it a go without any commitment, we’d recommend signing up to a Try Freediving course which would lead on nicely to Spearfishing Basics.
