SSI BASIC SPEARFISHING

SSI Basic Spearfishing

This is a beginner course teaching the basics to the new spearfisher.

Spearfishing has in one form or another existed since the dawn of time. Today spearfishing is practiced world-wide and considered the single most sustainable method of hunting fish on the planet.
Why Because spear fishing is target selective and not indiscriminate like every other method of harvesting fish, and yes, more sustainable than fishing with a rod and reel.
