British Spearfishing Association

Spearfishing course UK – North Wales, England and Scotland

Spearfishing and foraging is an environmentally friendly way of catching your food for the table. Today’s destructive, unsustainable fishing methods are simply not a long term viable option.

To safely breath hold dive requires a certain amount of skill, at Apneists UK we take qualified Freedivers (AIDA 1, SSI level 1, RAID Level 1, Apnea Academy levels for example) onto the course.

For non-qualified divers we offer an AIDA 1 Star, one day course to teach you important skills to ensure you are safe in the environment we will be taking you.

We run courses in North Wales, East England and Scotland.

All of our Instructors are approved by the British Spearfishing Association (BSA) who are running our spearfishing and foraging courses are affiliated with the agency.
