The Discover Spearfishing Course starts with a theory session where you will learn the basics of Spearfishing. For instance, we will explain what fishing under water with a speargun entails, and how to be efficient and safe. We will introduce you to sustainable spearfishing for a respectful harvest from the sea, as well as the different fish found in the Mediterranean and their behaviour.

The Instructor will choose the best fishing spot based on sea conditions and depth where you will feel comfortable and safe. Once on site, the instructor will fully brief you on the location and what to expect. We will then gear up and get ready for a fun-filled adventure for aquatic hunters.

Once at sea we will practice basic skills such as duck diving with a spear gun, streamlining, speargun awareness, etc. We will also practice shooting to get familiar with the Spearfishing equipment. When we are ready, we will plan our fishing strategy: route to follow, access points, fish sizing, how to remain as stealthy as possible, the best fish approach and how to close distance with the target, take the shot before the fish senses you, etc.

The instructor will always be by your side to show you how to act step-by-step, and give you guidance on how to dive at any given time and on the technique to use based on your surroundings and the species you are targeting. He will also correct your mistakes to improve your spearfishing and foraging skills and increase your chances of catching a fish. After a few hours of fishing and practicing various techniques, we will return to the shore, dry off and have some snacks and drinks to recover the energy spent during the day. 

To wrap up the Discover Spearfishing Course, the instructor will review the open water session and provide tips for continued progress.
