Spearfishing Trips

Spearfishing trips are typically "whole boat" charters based on the going rate of $600 for the first 5 shooters and an additional $120 per person past 5. The difference between a "spearing charter" and our regular trips is that we do not put more than 4 people down at a time and cover much more ground hitting multiple sites. 3-4 drops each is the norm, with more drops the less people we have. We also "live boat" so divers are free to ascend directly instead of trying to navigate back to a down line that can be easy to lose track of during a good spearing dive. These trips are for experienced divers only as spearos tend to end up alone for periods of time while diving. Depths are typically around 100' so nitrox and a liberal dive computer are mandatory. If you need help filling spots please let us know and we'll be happy to help find spearos to help split costs. The two internet spearfishing forums on the "links" page are excellent networking tools for spearing divers. Spearing trips are done differently from straight scuba trips because most people want more than 2 dives for a day of spearing. Additionally spearos do better with fewer divers per site necessitating more drops with "teams" hitting different sites. If two or three drops on two or three sites is enough then let us know and we'll book you under the offshore scuba rate, a three person minimum is still required though.
