Spearfishing Course Sydney

Learn how to catch your own food and explore the underwater world in a safe, sustainable, and confident way.

Designed for both beginners and developing spearos, this course blends theory, pool training, and open water components to give you a complete foundation in modern spearfishing.
You’ll learn not just how to spearfish, but how to become a sustainable spearo—someone who understands ecology, chooses the right fish, and respects the ocean.

Even for experienced spearos, target practice is invaluable. You’ll simulate diving with a speargun, practise smooth loading techniques, and get familiar with the feeling of firing safely and accurately. This 2-day course will take months off your learning curve.

So when that 20-kilo kingfish inevitably swims straight up to you… you’ll be ready.
