About the Spearsafe Theory Quiz
Spear Safe has the potential to save lives and greatly reduce the number of injuries and fatalities occurring all over Australia associated with spearfishing.
Spearfishing is a great activity but like all sports it has its potential dangers which must be properly managed to reduce the risks. We have lost friends due to blackout in the ocean and swimming pools. Others have suffered severe injury from boat strike, shark attacks and other causes.
