Sessions

Hunting — not emptying the sea.

Spearfishing on a single breath is an old, demanding and respectful craft. Stéphane teaches the ethical and legal side of it: permitted zones, minimum sizes, protected species in Corsica, and safety solo or in pairs.

You leave with a solid grasp of the practice — and with respect for the environment rather than an appetite to strip it.
