The London International Club ("LIC") was founded on 8th October 1999 by a group of friends and passionate spearfishermen in London. During the following years the Club grew rapidly to become the largest spearfishing Club in the United Kingdom, with over 50 members, and by far the most international, with over 14 nationalities represented. 

The Club is a non-for-profit organisation and is purely devoted to supporting its members and promoting breath-hold diving and Spearfishing in England and internationally.

Spearfishing is a fascinating activity which entails diving under water and hunting selected species of fish with the help of a speargun, typically powered by rubbers. Spearfishermen dive without the help of any breathing apparatus and hunt the fish in their environment; this makes the activity very challenging and natural. Spearfishing is also one of the most environmental friendly fishing techniques as divers see their pray before hunting it and only catch adult fish. Spearfishermen typically catch only a few fish for dinner and by law are prohibited from selling any fish.
