G'day While the southern states are cold, grey and miserable — we're loading spearguns on a sailboat sailing through the Whitsunday Islands and out to the Great Barrier Reef. The Sail x Spearfishing Frothfest is back, and there are limited spots remaining. This is a 5 day guided spearfishing charter sailing through the Whitsunday Islands and out to parts of the Great Barrier Reef Incredible coral. Stacks of fish. And yes — you can be a beginner. We've taken people from never-used-a-snorkel to loading their own gun and shooting fish in five days. We've also had seasoned intermediate divers level up fast. The ocean doesn't care where you start — and neither do we. 🎯 WHAT YOU'RE IN FOR 16 frothers packed onto a sailboat with 4 expert guides, 4 salty legends running the vessel, and photographer @blaze_parsons shooting above AND below the water the whole time. This isn't a luxury cruise — it's a proper adventure with school-camp sleepover vibes and memories that'll last years. 💬 DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT (Google Reviews Here) "One of the best experiences of my life... we saw whales and some simply spectacular parts of the outer Great Barrier Reef." — Jules (New Zealand) "I went from not being able to use a snorkel to diving, loading my own gun and shooting fish. Can't recommend this trip enough!" — Bethany (Melbourne) "A life changing trip I will never forget. No ego, full froth was advertised and it exceeded all my expectations." — Tony (No Shins) (Mackay) "Hearing the past podcasts does not do justice to what the experience really is.. Meeting awesome people and learning so much from like minded people. Definitely worth every penny when bringing back the experience at local waters. Me and the boys from Sydney, were treated so well by the lads especially the hospitality from Shrek and Eckart will be making it an annual trip for sure!" - Mohamed (Sydney) ⚠️ SPOTS ARE LIMITED When they're gone, they're gone — and @blaze_parsons' shots will be all over Instagram afterwards. Don't say we didn't warn you. 👉 Secure your spot here with a $700 deposit: spearfishingcourses.com.au/sailxspear Questions? Reply to this email or call me — 0420 631 981. -Shrek |

G'day legend, This one's a bit different. A short rant on pool training, three new articles you can choose from depending on where you're at, and a favour to ask at the end. Let's go. 🏊 The Pool Is Your Mid-Week Training Session Wayne Judge wrote something on the Noob Spearo blog years ago that's stuck with me. People say the best training for spearfishing is spearfishing. Wayne's reply: if that were true, footy teams would play a game every Wednesday instead of training. Marathon runners...
G'day Reader, You've either been on a boat with us or put your hand up for the intermediate and charter side of things — so this episode is squarely for you. I just published NSP:321 with Matt Parker. Matty manages Divers World in Cairns, has been spearing for 25 years and guiding for six, and runs MBP Spearfishing Charters. He also happens to be the bloke I'm running Deep North with next March. I've wanted him on the show for ages — he came highly requested by the North Queensland crew — and...
G'day Reader You put your hand up for the intermediate/advanced stuff — trips where you're already comfortable in the water and you just want more of it, deeper, further out, with better fish. This is that trip. Deep North. 13–21 March 2027. Nine days on the Great Barrier Reef. Ben with Buffalo Emperor and Large Eye Sea Bream (Mu), Matty Parker (right) Matt Parker and I are running it together off the Norkat II — a 72-foot Westcoaster out of Half Moon Bay Marina, Yorkey's Knob. Ten spearos....
