courses

Our Spearfishing course covers everything from understanding currents, fish feeding patterns,  hunting techniques, how to bring the big fish in, dealing with a speared fish and what to do if it goes a bit wrong! The safety side of spearfishing shows you what dangers to be aware of where you have chosen to fish etc and how to rescue a buddy from about 10m and bring them around. Also included are the latest charts to show what fish you can take when spearfishing and what you can't, with size regulations and other information. There will be a few hours in the classroom to go through the basics and then on to open water. The minimum requirement for this course is AIDA ** or equivalent.
 
The courses will start on the 5th of February 2005.
 
For spearfishing your normal freedive gear is needed, but spearguns can be purchased/rented in the local dive shops.
 
Cheap accommodation is always available for our spearfishing trips and courses from the many B+Bs on the island or at the Aqua hotel in Castletown. There is lots to do and see in the area for any non divers, from climbing, walking, excellent restaurants and friendly bars, to a whole host of water sports and even an award winning maize maize.
