Jeremy took his first breath-hold dive in the cold Pacific Northwest in 1993 and never stopped. Years refining his craft on O‘ahu’s North Shore led to a simple realization: nobody was teaching this the right way, starting from zero.

Top Shot Spearfishing was born on Maui in 2009 and expanded to the Big Island five years later. Today, all of our lessons and guided dives run from our Kona Coastline Training Facility on the Big Island, where the water stays calm and clear more days a year than anywhere else in Hawai‘i.

The format Jeremy pioneered, one morning from land skills to first hunt, has become the world’s most successful introduction to spearfishing.

We had a great day spearfishing with Bamm at Top Shot in Kona. 3 of use showed up with zero experience, had about a hour chat about safety and strategy, and within minutes of getting in the water, Bamm had us hunting. His instruction was clear and practical…

Our second session with Topshot Spearfishing was awesome! Bamm’s instruction is spot-on—solid speargun techniques, keeps safety first, and makes reef time super fun. We actually hooked some good ones this time, then did the real catch-and-cook: cleaned ‘em…

Our original booking was rescheduled due to rough waters (which was absolutely the right call; safety first!), and Bamm quickly got us set up for the next day. It ended up being a private dive, which made the experience even more special. From the training…
