“My journey with the sea and underwater sports has been lifelong. in November 2024, in Athens, I proudly became an SI Spearfishing Instructor Trainer***. I'm honored to be part of the first, number one and best spearfishing educational organization, dedicated to the love of the sea and the growth of an ethical community.”
“Spearfishing is my favorite way to get active. SI showed me how to forage on a single breath of air and have the utmost respect for the underwater ecosystem.”
“Thanks to SI spearfishing course I've learned a lot of things that distinguish me from other underwater hunters. The training developed my ability and extended out my limits to be able to land better catches while respecting the laws and fish sizes.”
“The SI course is a particular eye-opener. It deepens hard-heated scientific curiosity. It tingles a spearo's constant search for evidence-based knowledge and behavior. Now that I became member of the SI family, I am confident that I will contribute to the development of the u/w hunting society & the sustainability of good teaching practices.”
“Taking SI courses is a unique, emotional and rewarding experience. With the proper guidance of my instructors, I am, for sure, a more confident spearo who is able to hunt in a more safe, but also productive way.”
“I approached spearfishing only after years of pure freediving. I realized that a spearfishing course is really important for the mental approach to this discipline, for your and other safety and for the spearfishing techniques. Really beautiful and interesting experience.”
“SI Advanced Spearfishing Course, led by Manolis Giankos and his team, was the best way for a longtime freediver to enter the world of spearfishing. The depth and breadth of knowledge provided was impressive, in theory and practice. I truly appreciated the approach to safety and the ethics surrounding this sustainable way of fishing. The practical application sessions were top notch, serving to tie everything together and embed the acquired knowledge and passion for the sport.”
“SI courses are a must for every spearo who wants to be mindful of the underwater environment and therefore successful in his hunts.”
“Becoming an SI instructor was a super interesting, challenging, fun and down to earth procedure. SI has the most complete in depth spearfishing program out there. It was an honor getting feedback from the champ.”
“Professionals, knowledgeable about the subject, with consistency and above all the willingness to show the trainee even the smallest detail. They love their job - which is their passion - and this is shown in the result. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!”
