I spent years working out how to dive deeper for longer and I learnt a lot along the way.
​

I'm a big fan of the guys at the famous Noob Spearo podcast. I had the pleasure of being invited to interview for their 101 podcast series where they go deep into common spearfishing topics and issues.

​

The interview was a nuts and bolts 101 freediving for spearfishing discussion, where we discussed the core techniques to help you improve your diving, and how you can extend your breath-hold to 5 minutes.

​

The content was so valuable that it's been made into a book.

​

If you do nothing else to improve your spearfishing skills, find some quiet time and soak up the tips this book. It’s a game-changer.
