Spearfishing SuperFood Snack Boat Mix
On long days out in the ocean, you need to stay fueled up and hydrated to be safe and to dive at your best. Even Old Man Blue gear won’t help if your body doesn’t have the energy to perform. Uniquely, spearfishing and freediving involve spending a bunch of time upside down and having to hold your breath means that on top of staying fueled up, you need to be comfortable.
Here is what Bert, founder of Old Man Blue, makes to eat for his diving day trips with mates. A mixture of fruit, berries, nuts, seeds and other bits of goodness go into a waterproof vacuum packed bag - perfect for snacking on while spearfishing!
This is what goes into the bag:
Bonus tip: don’t put chocolate into the mix as it tends to melt and ruin the rest of the mix. Chocolate can also block up your ears if you have too much of it, use it sparingly and add it only when you’re on the boat.
It’s as simple as throwing them all into a bowl, give it a good mix and pour into vacuum sealed bags. You now have a delicious, nutritious and energy-packed lunch waiting for you for when you come up to the surface.
The Orca Harness is another piece of gear that can really upgrade and improve your spearfishing, you can order your own from oldmanblue.com.au.
