Spearfishing is the most selective form of fishing, producing virtually zero bycatch. Unlike other methods that often result in unintended species being caught and discarded, spearfishing allows you to target only the fish you intend to eat. Our courses emphasize sustainable practices, teaching you to identify and hunt only the correct species and sizes, contributing to responsible food sourcing. ### What do your spearfishing courses cover and how are they structured? Courses are structured for learning at your own pace in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. Whether you prefer a training-intensive session or wish to dive straight into hunting, we can customise the experience. You’ll learn safe freediving techniques, how to manage your oxygen, hunt on the ocean floor, and even prepare your catch for a meal. Our approach prioritises hands-on water training over lengthy classroom sessions, ensuring a memorable and educational experience under professional guidance. Our courses focus on: Safety: Ensuring you can spearfish safely, both during the course and in your future endeavors. Freediving: Fundamental skills such as safe weighting, breathing techniques, equalization, duck dive technique, finning form, apnea tables for breath-hold improvement, blackout risk management, rescue techniques, and dealing with cramps. Spearfishing Techniques: Gear utilisation, speargun accuracy, understanding target species’ behavior, navigating underwater terrain, various hunting approaches, safe hole and cave hunting, advanced techniques for current hunting, float line management, lobster and crab hunting, fish dispatching, and ocean awareness. ### How will the course prepare me for spearfishing in the UK?
