Introduction

Introduction

At Spearaus we offer relaxed but highly professional dive courses. Most divers in Australia who take to the oceans for breath hold activities tend to do so for the purposes of harvesting or simply enjoying the aquatic life that the amazing coast line has to offer. Most freediving courses are geared more towards pure freediving. In other words swimming down and back up a fixed dive rope. I tend to tailor my courses more towards the hunting and harvesting aspects of breath hold diving. This gives you the tools to do what you love doing in a safer way but deeper and for longer. Courses are mostly conducted in Perth, Western Australia but we travel throught WA and are happy to discuss doing one near you.

AIDA 1 star

AIDA 1 star

This course is great for those who want to get into spearfishing or freediving but have not managed to get comfortable in the water. You may have struggled to get the use of snorkels and are not sure how to hold your breath and swim under water. Perhaps you are okay in the confines of a swimming pool but the open ocean tends to cause a bit of anxiety but you really want to experience its amazing beauty. This 1 day course will get you more relaxed and ready to take the plunge. All courses are run regularly and can even be run according to your schedule if you get a group together.

For those that are comfortable in the water and may have even shot a couple fish or snagged some crayfish this is something that may take your interest. You may have spent time underwater on tanks or just done some snorkelling. If you are ready to go deeper for longer in a safe and controlled manner then this course is for you. You will learn a range of valuable skills that will both physically and mentally better prepare you for getting to those good fish.
