The Species ID Workshop offered by Ocean Instinct Freediving, a Scuba Diving club in Brookvale, is a fantastic opportunity for beginner spearfishers to enhance their understanding of local marine species and refine their hunting techniques. Unlike other spearfishing courses, this workshop focuses primarily on expanding participants' knowledge of different species. During the practical dive, there will be no use of spearguns; instead, participants will immerse themselves in the reef environment and learn to accurately identify fish species, determine their size, and understand bag limits.
The workshop will take place in the picturesque Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve, which is a designated 'no take' marine protection area boasting a thriving population of reef species. This unique location ensures that participants will have ample opportunities to spot and identify a wide variety of marine life. By familiarising themselves with target species and adhering to regulations, participants will develop into responsible and ethical hunters, minimising unnecessary kills and avoiding potential conflict with fishing authorities.
To participate in this enriching workshop, interested individuals can secure their spot by booking their course now. The cost of the workshop is set at $250 per person, and it will be held in Northern Beaches on the 3rd of June. Don't miss out on this chance to expand your knowledge and enhance your spearfishing skills. Join the Species ID Workshop and dive deeper into the captivating world of underwater hunting!
