What is The Frenchman Spearfishing?
The Frenchman Spearfishing is a UK training provider specialising in spearfishing safety, technique and sustainable foraging. Courses combine pool or confined-water skills with coached sea sessions, emphasising breath-hold safety, fish identification and legal, ethical harvesting.
Unlike a national governing body, The Frenchman issues provider certificates for its own syllabus. Centres may also reference BSAC or other diving pathways where spearfishing overlaps with freediving or scuba training. Check what card or letter you receive before you book.

Choosing a course
Beginner courses focus on safety, buddy protocols and legal species limits before any hunting pressure. Forager routes add shore ecology and preparation skills. You need reasonable swimming fitness and comfort in cold water. Leave a comment when you book with your pool confidence and any freediving experience.
Spearfishing is regulated by fisheries bylaws and protected sites. Your instructor confirms local rules, minimum sizes and no-take zones for the venue on the day.
