Spearfishing is coming to free-to-air TV

A ground breaking television show has been produced by Bellarine Peninsula’s In-Depth Productions. Spearing the Menu is a new adventure program that takes you underwater in search of fresh ocean delights and back into the kitchen to cook up the catch.

The Spearing the Menu team consists of three marine scientists and a teacher, all experienced freedivers and spearfishers, who educate the viewers on the marine environment and our guiding principles of Safe, Sustainable, Selective spearfishing.

“We hope our enthusiasm for the marine environment will encourage people to get out and explore the underwater world for themselves” says presenter Sean Blake.

This first series consists of seven episodes showcasing some of the best diving Victoria has to offer, as well as spectacular, and at times adrenaline fuelled, action from the Coffs Coast, NSW.

Matt Koopman, one of the shows presenters says ”We are excited to be bringing the underwater action into peoples living rooms, and hope to expose this poorly understood sport to the mainstream.”

Spearing the Menu will begin airing on C31 Melbourne on 7th September at 9pm, TVS Sydney on 17th September at 7pm, C31 Adelaide on 17th September at 8:30pm and QCTV on 9th September at 7pm.

Spearing the Menu has been backed by Geelong Otway Tourism Incorporated the Melbourne based Legendary Skindiving Equipment and Bellarine Estate winery.
