This past summer with no significant swell, we started getting curious about diving. More specifically, we got interested in learning how to catch our own food. It's been such an exciting experience that we wanted to share the insights we've learned. For those that are as intrigued by diving for food as we are, we created a series of Beginner Guides to Spearfishing. 

In Volume 1: Get Started With Fundamentals, we cover the practical tips to establish a foundation in spearfishing before ever picking up a spear. While the act of "spearfishing" involves using a weapon underwater, we cover accessible steps that one can take if starting from zero.
