Plymouth Spearfishing Courses
Spearfishing is a selective & sustainable method of fishing that has been used around the world for millennia, with early civilisations using sharpened sticks in local rivers and streams, though the sport has moved on a bit since then!
Dive under, explore a new playground, and experience first-hand why this sport is growing so rapidly.
We offer courses to help you gain a better understanding of breathing techniques, knowledge on maintaining and setting up your equipment, and the skills you need to hunt efficiently and safely.
A good freediver is what makes a successful spearfisher. If you’d like to give it a go without any commitment, we’d recommend signing up to a Try Freediving course which would lead on nicely to Spearfishing Basics.
You can view all of our upcoming dates and book online on our events page. Don’t see the course you want? Need alternative dates? No problem, you can contact us for any queries!
