Why Choose Top Shot Spearfishing?

Safety first

The industry standard

Our step-by-step curriculum has become the safety benchmark for intro spearfishing. Trained, certified guides watch over you from first briefing to last fin-kick.

Professional

Licensed & insured

Commercially licensed, fully insured, and guiding Hawai‘i’s waters for 15+ years. This is our profession, not a side hustle.

Ethical

The reef comes first

We target invasive fish that damage Hawai‘i’s reefs — like the roi — and leave the species that help them thrive. Every dive is reef restoration.

Proven

20,000+ guests

Pioneers of the world-class intro to spearfishing since 2009. Perfect 5-star ratings across every platform we’re on.

Guests with a fresh reef-fish catch on the Kona shore
The result

From first briefing to first fish — in one morning

Most of our guests have never held a speargun before the morning briefing. They walk out of the water as hunters — with the fish story to prove it.

Bamm — Kona lead guide, Top Shot Spearfishing

Bamm

Kona Lead Guide · 8 years on this coastline

Bamm grew up in Washington and spent ten years in finance before deciding the desk life wasn’t it — he walked away to live more sustainably and more connected. His first guiding chapter was leading blacktail deer hunts on Kodiak Island, Alaska, where he came to an important realization: there were no women and no aloha in the bush. So he moved to the Big Island to grow a garden and connect with the ocean. He’s been guiding the Kona coastline for eight years since.

Big personality, bigger aloha. If Bamm is your guide, you’ll hear the stories yourself.

Every shot feeds the land

The invasive roi we remove from Kona’s reefs are processed into organic fish-hydrolysate fertilizer for island farms and gardens. Your dive is part of Hawai‘i’s reef-restoration story.
