Spearfishing Seminar at Scuba Quest Bradenton

I have scheduled a spearfishing seminar at Scuba Quest in Bradenton, Florida. The details are as follows:

Address:
Scuba Quest Bradenton
3318 Manatee Avenue
Bradenton, Florida 34205
Ph: 941-745-2511

Date: Saturday May 18th 2019
Time: 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
Cost: $25.00 for adults & $15.00 for kids 16 and under
Food: Lunch and beverages are included

Agenda: I will be covering all aspects of spearfishing from beginner to advanced. Some of the topics I will cover are: selecting the proper speargun, how to use it, how not to use it, how to take care of it, proper banding, shaft selection, tip options, stalking techniques, body language, proper shot distances, realistic ranges of a speargun, shot selection, optimizing shot angles, freeshafting, lineshafting, line types, advantages and disadvantages of just about everything involving spearfishing. I will be using my Red Snapper model to show proper shot placement and shot angles as well as underwater videos (provided by Dan MacMahon (Team Headhunter) and Capt. Ben Bateman aka Fishkilla) showing proper shooting techniques etc.

I would like to give a huge “thank you” to Dan and Ben for allowing me to show their videos at my spearfishing seminars. These videos are a very powerful teaching tool that make my job much easier. Their videos give you a spot on “birds eye view” of exactly how professional shooters use proper shop placement and shot angle to take down fish of virtually any size using only one band and a Freeshaft (no line attached to the spear). The videos they provide are a great way to pass on their experience and knowledge to the next generation of shooters and their contribution to our great sport is greatly appreciated. Keep the great videos coming guys.......we need as many as we can get!

Re: Spearfishing Seminar at Scuba Quest Bradenton

Hey Kevin,

Glad to see you're doing more seminars. I don't want to derail here, but I have some friendly constructive criticism though. I think it's really time for you to enter the social media scene. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube will increase your reach to thousands of potential customers and seminar attendees. If you need some help, let me know. I'd be happy to help. I think you would be amazed at the response from these sites. And the best part, they're all free.

Shoot me a text if you want to discuss more.

Thanks for the offer Cuzza I have had very little social media presence for 2 reasons. 1) I don't know how to use any of those sites/platforms. 2) Its very difficult to appropriate the time to devote to it especially during the busy season which is April 1st thru October 1st. I am swamped with production work during those months and I can barely keep up as it is. However, I would welcome your assistance in increasing my social media presence and would like to sit down with you some time to discuss a strategy moving forward.

Re: Spearfishing Seminar at Scuba Quest Bradenton

These seminars are an excellent way to really accelerate the learning curve!
You will learn in one night what would take years to acquire.
Most of the same techniques apply to scuba hunting and freediving BTW.

This event is about 10 days out and the signup is going well. Still have room for about 12 more so call soon if you plan to attend.

Re: Spearfishing Seminar at Scuba Quest Bradenton

Still have a few seats left for this event. I will be bringing some KB Signature Wind Song guns to this event and the store owners have put an insanely low price on these guns for one day only. Unfortunately, we only have about 40 KB Signature guns left to sell so if you were considering buying one you had better pull the trigger soon.
