Reef Spearfishing
Jump into the local reefs and bring home dinner for friend and family.
Who Should Come On A Reef Spearfishing Charter?
We highly recommend that every diver has previous experience in either freediving or spearfishing before coming on your reef spearfishing charters. This is to ensure everyones safety and of course your best chance at landing fishing.
Freedivers or spearo who are new to spearfishing will feel comfortable coming on our reef spearfishing charters. We have numerous sites with shallow depths from 5m (18ft) – 15m (55ft). These are great sites to learn and practice basic hunting techniques that your safety diver will teach you.
If you are an experience spearo we highly recommend coming on our Blue Water Spearfishing Charters. We have a couple options where you can land some trophy size fish!
