Spearfishing Course
We conduct regular spear fishing programs and freediving courses at Frog Dive. They run over a weekend and cover many topics such as equipment, spear fishing and breath hold techniques, codes of conduct etc. Click on to this link to view the course outline.
The most popular spear course is $395 and can be booked at either store. The fees include membership to the USFA [underwater spearfishing and fishing association] for 12 months.
Our instructors, Simon and Andrew, are extremely experienced spearfishermen, and have undergone rigorous instructor training to provide you with a quality and informative program. Each instructor has very different personal characteristics with Andrew ” jaws” Harvey possessing an enormous set of teeth, and Simon “trippa” Trippe refusing to color an ever increasing amount of grey hair. They are very likeable fellas, and conduct a truly professional course that will increase your confidence and competence in the water.
