Spearfishing 101: Learn to Spearfish
Spearfishing is a sustainable way to gather one's own food and connect with the underwater world.
​
Spearfishing can be a safe activity if properly learned and practiced.
The first step is to become a competent and safe freediver. Knowing how to hold your breath, manage yourself underwater and identify risks is crucial in spearfishing.
