The marine life featured in this book are of predominately Northern Atlantic origin, but the freediving and foraging skills are universal. Review: usefull and practical - I bought this book after reading Pelizzaris book about freediving. I didn't expect this book will add anything to freediving techniques and I bought it solely because I've got interested in spearfishing. This book covers everything you should know about freediving and I wish I had this book couple of years ago. I can't judge the part about foraging for food as I only got into this but it covers not only spearfishing but also collecting edible plants and shellfish but freediving part is very well written, not overcomplicated. Strong accent on sustainable fishing. Definitely happy with my purchase. There are some minor issues with quality of photographs but I would give it 5 star even the book didn't contain any. Review: Wish it was written sooner - I started spearfishing about 4 years ago with the help of hours of youtube videos on the subject and some rather in depth books into just freediving. Not the smoothest learning curve but hey. I found this book a joy to read due to the amount of extra knowledge i gained in a very short space of time. Very informative on all aspects of freediving, spearfishing and foraging (and not to forget safety). All in all it's a great book and worth every penny. I feel this book will improve your learning curve novice and expert alike. Thank you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 277,572 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 73 in Scuba Diving 7,131 in General Sports, Hobbies & Games | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 119 Reviews | ## Images ![Underwater foraging - Freediving for food: An instructional guide to freediving, sustainable marine foraging and spearfishing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NLmgejs0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ usefull and practical *by A***R on 7 July 2013* I bought this book after reading Pelizzaris book about freediving.

Thank you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Colourful depiction of UK spearing and foraging *by B***M on 19 September 2013* As a very experienced spearo I can see exactly how this book is targeted. It's a well depicted window into the UK waters and put together colourfully depicting what to do to get involved. You cannot expect to completely teach from any book, you have to get out there and into the water and rockpools ideally in between reading it. I particularly like that my kids have been looking through the book and its amazing pics and getting an understanding and interest into where i'm always dissapearing off to. Well done Ian, great contribution to the library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48659385-underwater-foraging-freediving-for-food-an-instructional-guide-to-freediving](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48659385-underwater-foraging-freediving-for-food-an-instructional-guide-to-freediving) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
