Learn the ancient art of spearfishing in the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic. Technique, respect for the sea and safety.
Spearfishing is much more than a sport. It's a discipline that connects humans with the sea in the purest way: in apnea, with a speargun and with maximum respect for the marine ecosystem.
At Subzone Freediving, Juan Báez has over 30 years of experience as a professional spearfisher, having competed at the highest regional and national level. Now he passes on all that knowledge so you can enjoy spearfishing safely, with technique and ethics.
Whether you've never picked up a speargun or you've been spearfishing for years, our training adapts to your level. You'll learn not just to spearfish, but to read the sea, to read currents, respect closed seasons and minimum sizes, and move underwater with maximum efficiency.
Gran Canaria offers outstanding conditions: warm waters year-round, exceptional visibility and marine biodiversity including sea bream, grouper, parrotfish, octopus and much more.
