Most spearfishermen don’t lose their dive at depth…
They lose it in the first 5 seconds.
The duck dive.
This is where everything starts —
or everything is already wasted.
Bad setup = tension, bad position, poor control of the speargun.
You burn oxygen before you even go down.
Good setup = calm, aligned, efficient.
You drop with almost no effort.
In this video — Part 2 — you see the fix with my student egopleijsier
• Equalize before the dive
• Speargun always pointing down (control + safety)
• Relax the body at the surface
• Clean hand position — no adjustments underwater
• Head down, hips up — 90° angle
• Use your weight, not force
• One efficient arm stroke to initiate descent
• Smooth switch — no hesitation
• Stay aligned and go vertical
No drag.
No stress.
No wasted energy.
And that’s the difference between a diver who fights…
and a diver who disappears into the water.
