About this episode

Five members of the Noob Spearo crew share their experiences while learning to be freediving instructors in Amed, Bali.

No host behind the desk for this one. Five of the Noob Spearo crew — Matty, Liv, Noffs, Rhys (No Viz Adventures) and Chiz — hand the mic around in Amed, Bali while they work through their freediving instructor course with Adam Sellars at The Pressure Project. You'll hear the full airport saga (a declared speargun, a false-positive drug swab on the podcast recorder, a phone lost forever), Rhys talking through his first-ever loss of motor control on a static, the mouthfill "great mystery" that throws every spearo sideways at 15 metres, and the mindset gold from Adam — the nana voice, the poo emoji, and diving with no plan B. It's Full Froth, No Ego in the flesh: a crew coming up short, laughing about it, and getting better the next day. Heads up from Shrek — these guys are learning in live time, so take the technical stuff with a grain of salt. For any spearo curious about crossing into proper freediving, or wondering what really happens on an instructor course.
