How to Start Spearfishing Workshop

Description

Most people who try to get into spearfishing waste months piecing together advice from YouTube rabbit holes, contradictory forum threads, and trial and error in the water. This workshop exists so you don’t have to.

The How to Start Spearfishing Workshop is a 90-minute live Zoom session hosted by Isaac ‘Shrek’ Daly — PADI certified Freediving Instructor, founder of Noob Spearo, and host of over 300 interviews with the world’s best spearos across 1.5 million podcast downloads. You’ll get a 60-minute no-fluff presentation covering exactly what you need to know to start spearfishing the right way, followed by live Q&A so you can ask the specific questions holding you back.

It’s practical. It’s honest. And it’s designed to shortcut months of mistakes.

What’s included:

60-Minute Live Zoom Workshop A presentation covering gear essentials, breathhold and diving fundamentals, how to find and hunt fish, safety protocols, and how to find your first dive buddy — followed by Q&A. Includes an honest walkthrough of in-person retreats and courses available for beginners who want to accelerate even faster.

The Art of Spearfishing: Essential Beginner Skills E-Book The complete beginner skills checklist covering safety foundations, gear basics, water skills, hunting fundamentals, spearfishing etiquette, and how to find your community. Includes real transformation stories from retreat graduates and a glossary of 20 common spearfishing terms.

99 Tips to Get Better at Spearfishing E-Book The crowd-favourite beginner guide with 200+ five-star reviews on Amazon. Practical, straight-talking tips drawn from interviews with some of the world’s best spearos.

This workshop is for you if:

• You’ve been thinking about getting into spearfishing but don’t know where to start
• You’ve had a few sessions but feel like you’re missing the fundamentals
• You want to build safe habits from the beginning, not unlearn bad ones later
• You’re a recreational fisherman looking to take the next step

This workshop is not for you if:

• You’re an experienced spearo already comfortable in open water
• You’re looking for a substitute for time in the water with a coach (for that, check out the in-person retreats)
