Ama Spearfishing Workshop
Tax included
Only 3 in stock
25 years of ocean knowledge into two informative days.
Over two days, you will learn to navigate through the noise and get in touch with the root of what it means to spearfish. You will leave with the foundation to harvest your own food from the sea... not as a conquest, and not for an ego metric. As a relationship. As an act of love for the ocean, the animal, and yourself.
Format: Classroom + in-water skills. Target practice only — no live animals taken during the course.
Before you book — this course is right for you if:
- You can dive comfortably to 5 to 10 metres with good buoyancy control
- You can hold your breath calmly at depth for around 30 seconds
- You carry a genuine respect for living beings and the ecosystems that sustain them
That third prerequisite is the only one that cannot be trained. The first two can. If you're not quite there yet, we'd love to help you get there first. Shoot us a message if you are unsure!
This space is built without ego and without pressure.
Women exist at the margins of modern spearfishing culture. This course exists to change that.
You will be encouraged to move at your own pace. To stop when something doesn't feel right. To ask every question, including the ones that feel too basic. There is no performance here. There is no peer pressure. There is only the water, the knowledge, and what becomes possible when a woman learns to feed herself and the people she loves directly from the sea.
This workshop covers everything that comes before the hunt. The knowledge, the body, the tools, the ethics. Built for women who are ready to begin their spearfishing journey with the right foundation beneath them.
