A 2-Day PFI Spearfishing Certification Course Designed for Women

Through a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on workshops, and open-water training, you’ll learn the skills needed to become a capable and responsible spearfisher while earning your PFI Reef Spearfishing Certification. The curriculum is built around spearfishing safety, hunting techniques, gear knowledge, conservation, and ethical harvesting practices.

Whether you’re brand new to spearfishing or looking to refine your skills, this course provides a supportive environment where women can learn, ask questions, and gain real-world experience alongside like-minded ocean adventurers.

Why Ocean Huntress?

Most spearfishing courses teach you how to hunt fish.

Ocean Huntress teaches you how to become a well-rounded ocean hunter.

This course goes beyond the certification standards to help women develop:

• Confidence in open-water environments
• Practical hunting skills and strategy
• Ocean awareness and fish behavior knowledge
• Gear selection and setup
• Ethical harvesting practices
• Dive buddy communication and safety procedures
• Fish handling and processing skills
• The mindset and confidence to continue hunting independently

You’ll leave with far more than a certification—you’ll leave with a foundation for a lifetime of safe and successful spearfishing.
