About the Course
Start your spearfishing journey from scratch with our Zero to Spearfisher Package, a complete training programme that combines SSI Freediving and SSI Basic Spearfishing certifications into one structured course.
Designed for complete beginners, this package takes you from learning the fundamentals of breath-hold diving to developing the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to practise spearfishing safely and responsibly. You'll first build a strong freediving foundation by learning breathing techniques, equalisation, safety procedures, finning efficiency, and underwater comfort before progressing to spearfishing-specific training.
Once your freediving skills are established, you'll learn the essentials of spearfishing, including equipment selection, speargun handling, fish behaviour, ethical harvesting practices, local regulations, and buddy safety procedures. Confined water and open water sessions allow you to practise your skills in a controlled environment before applying them in real-world conditions.
Throughout the programme, there is a strong emphasis on safety, sustainability, and respect for the marine environment. You'll develop greater underwater awareness, improve your breath-hold performance, and gain the confidence to enjoy spearfishing responsibly.
Upon successful completion, you will earn both your SSI Freediver Certification and SSI Basic Spearfishing Specialty Certification, providing a complete foundation for future spearfishing adventures.
