🎯 Spearfishing Success = Technique + Precision 🎯 Spearfishing Success = Technique + Precision

In this clip, watch Ben execute a good approach to the school of fishes — smooth, silent, and stealthy. He glides down a few meters close to the edge to hide his silhouette, carefully avoiding contact with the rocks, and tucks himself into the terrain to blend with the bottom. No sudden movements, no noise, just patience and control.

This kind of discipline is key in spearfishing. A clean duck dive without splashes, avoiding fin contact with the reef, and staying completely still are what bring the fish close enough to make a shot.

But even when everything is done right — movement, silence, position — the final step still demands skill: targeting and hitting the fish is not an easy task. That moment requires focus, timing, distance calculations, foresee the fish next movement, press soft, gently and progressively the trigger and a lot of practice with your speargun too. 

🤿 Patience, stealth, and precision — that’s the recipe.

Follow Lukas (@schnell_us) down the rabbit hole in Follow Lukas (@schnell_us) down the rabbit hole into a world where silence reigns and shadows dance with light. As he glides through this underwater tunnel, the chaos of the surface fades away, replaced by the quiet magic of the deep.

There’s a peace here that can’t be found anywhere else, only in the stillness of underwater caves.

Have you ever explore underwater caves and tunnels?

Have you ever seen these animals in the sea? They Have you ever seen these animals in the sea? They are Salps! These alien-like creatures might look like jellyfish, but they’re something entirely different — salps are gelatinous, barrel-shaped animals that float through the sea in long, glowing chains! 

Here’swhat makes them amazing: 

🚫🪼 They are not Jellyfish – Salps are tunicates, more closely related to humans than to jellyfish! 

🐘 Size Range – Most are just a few centimeters long, but some species grow up to 30 cm. 

🧹 Ocean Cleaners – They play a huge role in carbon cycling, trapping carbon and sending it to the ocean floor. 

🐇🐇 Masters of Multiplication – Salps can clone themselves and form long chains of hundreds of individuals. The biggest we have ever seen in Malta was around 6 meters.

💨 Fast Movers – They’re among the most efficient swimmers in the ocean, propelling themselves by pumping water through their bodies! 

Next time you're thinking about ocean superheroes — don’t forget the humble salp.

How is your breathe-up? The breathe-up is how we How is your breathe-up? 

The breathe-up is how we prepare both, body and mind for the dive. What most of freedivers don't take into consideration when they are starting is that this is one of the most important factors that determine how good, relaxed and peaceful your dive it's going to be.

This sport is all about stay present. When we are preparing the dive is not the time to think about our technique, how deep we want to go or if our ears are going to work properly. Now it's the time to enjoy our inhalations and exhalations, relax our muscles, this is your time to focus, let go of stress, and prepare mentally for a peaceful dive, almost falling asleep.

Closing your eyes is not something for everyone but we love it, except when we have mesmerizing views like the ones in this video from the Blue Hole in Gozo a few days ago.

This preparation isn’t just about taking a big breath, it’s a ritual that has plenty of benefits:

💗 Lowers Heart Rate – Slow, controlled breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you enter a calm, energy-saving and economical mode.

😴 Calms your mind – Slow and relax breathing minimizes getting tense or even panicking during your dive, helping you stay focused and relaxed when the urge to breathe starts to kicks in for example.

🫶 Gets You in the Zone – This is your time to relax, let go of negative thoughts and stress, and prepare yourself for the perfect dive, whatever this means to you. 
 
⚽ The goal? To begin the dive in a zen, controlled state—not rushing or tense.

NOTE: When taking your final breath isn’t so much about filling our lungs as much as possible, which obviously is not a bad thing 😉 but most important it’s to be relaxed, focused, and ready.

Breathe Slow - Dive Deep - Stay Present

Have you ever tried underwater scooters while free Have you ever tried underwater scooters while freediving? If you haven't, you need to 🙂 Feels like flying underwater! 

The DPV (Dive Propulsion Vehicle) is a watercraft designed to pull freedivers through the column of water with minimal effort. 

They allow you to travel faster and further than you could do kicking alone. 

They are equipped with an electric motor and propeller system, and they can be used in a variety of contexts: from exploring, to cover distance or to improve safety for your fellow freedivers. 

There are several considerations for freedivers:

- Learn how to use it properly and get familiar with it: Proper training is essential for using a DPV safely. Freedivers should become familiar with the scooter and its operation before attempting using it. 

- Do a good breathe-up: prepare your dive and remain relaxed like you would do in a regular dive to take the best out of the experience. Sometimes freedivers get over confident because the dives with a DPV seem effortless and don't pay enough attention to their pre-dive preparation. 

- Environmental Impact: Freedivers should be mindful of their surroundings when using DPVs. The noise and disturbance caused by these devices can affect marine life and fragile ecosystems. Being responsible is always one of our priorities, we love the blue and their inhabitants 💙

Would you like to try them? Get in touch and we will explain you how to enjoy one of our DPV Tours!

Have you ever done Static before? This discipline Have you ever done Static before? This discipline is loved by some and hated by others.

Reasons given for disliking Static are often a lack of motivation and/or a feeling of boredom due to being motionless.

Static is an amazing discipline once you find the right mindset, though. 

"How do you find the right mindset?" You might ask. The answer is: mind relaxation techniques.

It is not an easy task as there are countless techniques that may vary from one freediver to another. Basically you have to find something to play in your head that really makes you feel fully relaxed. It can be anything, from having a blank mind to recreate mentally one of your favorite hobbies and everything in between. The aim is to calm your mind and lower your brain oxygen consumption, resulting in longer breath holds.

What are your favorite relaxation techniques? 

BTW, we love converting "haters" into "lovers" during our Static Sessions 😁
