029: Spearing World Records | Live Erin McGinty

Andy Walker

Today’s yarn is with 3x Spearfishing World Recold holder Erin McGinty. Erin has spent the best part of her life on, in or learning about the ocean including a PhD in Marine Science Genetics and MC <24m and MED vessel qualifications. 

Erin has travelled extensively throughout Australia, working in some of the most remote communities in the country giving instruction to Traditional Owners on the commercial boating front as well as skippering vessels for extended research expeditions. 

All this time she spent years underwater honing her craft as one of the most capable Spearo’s in the country. With 3x World and 10x Australian Records to her name, Erin has bagged some of the most impressive fish there is.

We had a great time catching up with Erin who shared plenty of wisdom on finding fish, bluewater techniques, breath hold and provided sound advice for the next generation of female Spearo’s starting out or improving in the sport. 

Erin has a passion for the ocean and a drive  for adventure that is infectious to be around. 

We look forward to learning a few lessons from her out on a dive real soon. 

This is her story.
