G'day champ,
The course sounds like a waste of time to me. Spearfishing aint as complex as ya probabely think. Just go and get yourself a hawaiin sling / spear for about 50 bucks and get out there and have a crack. A gun is often more of a hastle than anything. Learn up on what are your basic fish species and you'll find that most of the tasty ones are easy enough to get near.
And remember - dont be satisfied to be a surface dweller! Get down low and go go go. By this I mean take a few deep breaths and dive to the bottom and look under rocks and things - thats where the real gold nuggets often are.
Youre not going to get eaten by a shark in port phillip so I wouldnt worry about that. Basicaly, like jazman said, your biggest worry is getting run over by a wanker on a jet ski.
If you got a car I reccomend going out in the ocean locations down the mornington peninsula. Keep an eye on the conditions though cos it can be very dangerous on its day.
Righto knackers, get out there and get your hair wet and let your uncle rohan know how ya went
