Do I need a license for spearfishing in Italy?
Yes, you need a valid fishing license to spearfish in Italy. You must be at least 16 years old, and there are specific regulations about minimum distances from beaches, ports, and marine reserves. We help you understand all the rules during our courses.

Spearfishing is safe when practiced correctly: never dive alone, always use a surface marker buoy, respect your limits, and complete a professional course first. Safety is our absolute priority in every course and guided dive.

Absolutely! Our beginner course is designed for people with no prior experience. We start with pool sessions for breathing and equalization techniques, then move to open water in the calm, warm waters of the Gulf of Naples. It's the perfect place to learn.
