About the Course
Designed for freedivers who want to combine deeper breath-hold performance with advanced spearfishing skills.
This comprehensive programme combines the SSI Advanced Freediver Course with the SSI Basic Spearfishing Specialty, helping you become a safer, more capable, and more efficient underwater hunter. You'll refine your equalisation techniques, improve your breath-hold times, increase depth capabilities, and develop the confidence needed to spend more time comfortably underwater.
Building on your freediving foundation, you'll learn essential spearfishing skills including equipment selection, speargun handling, fish behaviour, hunting techniques, buddy safety procedures, and ethical harvesting practices. Particular emphasis is placed on safety, sustainability, and responsible interaction with the marine environment.
Through classroom sessions, confined water training, and open water dives, you'll gain practical experience applying advanced freediving techniques directly to real spearfishing situations. By the end of the programme, you'll be able to plan and execute spearfishing dives with greater confidence, awareness, and efficiency.
