Underwater Hunting and Collecting
NAUI Underwater Hunting & Collector is a specialty course for divers or skin divers who want formal training before spearfishing, taking game, or collecting specimens. The official NAUI page describes the course as providing the skills and knowledge necessary to perform those activities while minimizing diving risks. The responsible version of this training includes more than using tools; it includes site awareness, buddy procedures, local rules, safe handling, and respect for protected species and fragile environments.
This course is best for divers who already have good water control and want to learn hunting or collecting practices in a structured, legal, and conservative way. NAUI lists NAUI Scuba Diver or equivalent for the scuba version, or NAUI Skin Diver or equivalent for the skin-diving version, with a minimum age of 15 by the water phase and junior certification allowed for ages 10 to 14. The instructor must verify readiness before open-water training.
Training normally covers planning, equipment use, target selection, risk management, and open-water practice appropriate to local law and site conditions. In High Springs, Florida, the course should be approached with particular attention to conservation and local regulations, because not every site or species is appropriate for taking. The expected outcome is a diver who understands safer, more ethical participation rather than treating underwater hunting as casual collection.
