Chris Schirmer – PFI Intermediate Course
My name is Chris Schirmer. In regards to my confidence in the water I would say it’s pretty high. I have been sailing most my life, into most water sports that are out there, been a PADI certified diver for almost 15 years and now a spear fisher. I began spearing and...
Ben Alcocer – PFI Intermediate Course
The immersion intermediate freediver course taught by Ted Harty is the real deal. If you are on social media or have contacts in the freedive/spearfishing community you’ve probably heard the hype about Ted’s class in Ft Lauderdale. The hype is true. The course is...
Learning how to properly equalize is critical to freediving spearfishing.
Do you feel like you have water in your ears, your hearing is muffled, or your ears hurt after a day of diving? Do you feel like you have to take a break after 2-3 days of diving? If so, you are not equalizing properly. Proper equalizing techniques will greatly reduce...

Noel Skwiot – Testimonial
Ted Harty is a record holding competitive freediver who is eager to share the “secrets” to successful diving to depth-safely. While he continues to seek out new information about the sport’s techniques from top professionals that he is acquainted with, he willing...
Too much lead got you down?
Generally speaking many spearfishermen wear too much weight. This causes two problems. First, if they were to black out they would end up on the bottom of the ocean and second, it can reduce their dive time. When I started freediving back in 2006 I was terrible. I’d...
Prep the body for upcoming spearfishing season
Some people are lucky enough to live where they can spearfish year round but this certainly doesn’t apply to most people. Lots of folks have to travel to go spearfishing because their local season is very short like my students from New York. If you’ve ever been on a...
