A complete and tailored Spearfishing insurance
Spearfishing injury healthcare expenses
Up to €150,000. Hypoxic blackouts (major spearfishing mortality cause), spear injuries (hand/torso perforation on ascent with a loaded gun, a classic accident), shark attacks in tropical Big Game, inner-ear barotrauma, long-session hypothermia: we cover specific injuries.
Transport and repatriation
At actual cost. CMAS Spearfishing World Championship, FFESSM French Championship, EuroSpearfishing, tropical Big Game (Cabo San Lucas Mexico, Azores Portugal, Madagascar, Mauritania, Polynesia), Mediterranean Sardinia/Sicily/Croatia: we organise medical repatriation.
Spearfishing Competition option
The Spearfishing Competition add-on covers the CMAS Spearfishing World Championship, EuroSpearfishing, the FFESSM French Championship, Big Game (weight records), the Spear League, Open competitions and Senior, Junior, Women and Master categories.
Disability benefit
Up to €200,000 per person. Spearfishing cumulates apnea risks (ascent hypoxic blackout, a major mortality cause, statistically more dangerous than pure apnea as attention is dispersed by hunting) and weapon risks (a loaded spear can traverse hand or torso in a manipulation accident). Tropical Big Game adds sharks.
Why is Spearfishing insurance essential?
Spearfishing combines apnea and underwater fishing with a spear gun, making it one of the most demanding underwater disciplines. The CMAS Spearfishing World Championship, EuroSpearfishing and the FFESSM French Championship structure the discipline, while tropical Big Game (Cabo San Lucas, Azores, Madagascar) targets Marlin, Tuna and Wahoo. FFESSM counts 10,000 licensed spearfishers. Risks cumulate ascent hypoxic blackout, loaded-spear injuries, tropical shark attacks and ear barotrauma.
Our Spearfishing insurance is the choice of CMAS Spearfishing World Championship competitors, FFESSM spearfishers and tropical Big Game specialists. For pure apnea, see Freediving. For finswimming, see Finswimming.
Yes. Hypoxic blackouts (ascent unconsciousness, statistically more accident-prone in spearfishing than in pure apnea due to hunting-dispersed attention) are fully covered. See our plans.
Yes. Spear injuries (accidental hand/torso perforation on ascent with a loaded gun, a classic discipline accident) are fully covered. Reconstructive surgery is included.
Yes. Big Game (Cabo San Lucas Mexico Marlin, Azores Portugal Blue Marlin, Madagascar Wahoo, Mauritania, Polynesia) is covered with the Spearfishing Competition add-on. Shark attack risks are included.
Yes. Shark attacks in tropical Big Game (Bull Sharks in Mexico, Tigers in Madagascar, Mako in the Azores) are covered. Emergency care and reconstruction (a wounded fish attracts predators) are handled.
The rate depends on your practice and the desired cover duration. For a Big Game trip (Azores, Cabo), the weekly plan suits; for the FFESSM season plus tropical trips, the annual plan with the Spearfishing Competition add-on is best. Request your personalised quote.
