Since you are choosing species that you, visually, know are legal, legal size, and something you truly want to eat, spearfishing is one of the most conservative ways to fish. During our 2 half-day courses, you will learn proper gun handling, target practice, boat etiquette, legal limit and species, filet techniques, and how to prepare your catch. We have a variety of guns, pole spears, and lobstering equipment to choose from.
Upon completion of the course, you will have a choice of either a PADI or NAUI Underwater Hunter Certification card. The age requirement for this course is 15+yrs. If you do not have 2 days to complete a certification, consider hiring a hunting guide for a half-day hunting trip. All of our dive boats have both fishing and lobster licenses for our passengers. Both the Hunting Certification and the Hunting Guide include the use of our spearfishing and lobstering gear! These are private classes for your safety and success.
