GUEST EXPERIENCES

“The highlight of our family vacation! My teenagers still talk about this adventure months later. The guides were excellent with safety while making sure everyone had fun and learned something new.” – Sarah T.

Jennifer T.

“Jeremy, was phenomenal — pointing out the best spots, explaining the gear, and teaching proper techniques with patience and enthusiasm. We had the opportunity to target a wide range of fish, and I ended up landing tons of fish! The equipment was top-notch and well-maintained, and safety was clearly a top priority throughout the trip.

What stood out most was the personal attention and the respect they showed for marine life and the environment. This wasn’t just a fishing trip — it was an education in sustainable hunting and ocean stewardship. I had such a great time..”

Jeffery Paul

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No experience necessary! Our group dives are perfect for beginners. We provide comprehensive instruction and adapt to your comfort level.

While success is never guaranteed in spearfishing, we do put you in the best position possible to harvest fish on your first time spearfishing. You’ll be hunting a target rich environment and take plenty of shots. It’s just a matter of linking all the skills together in a series of events that allows you to sucessfully land your first fish.

Common invasive species targets include: Peacock Grouper (Roi), Bluestripe Snapper (Ta’ape), Black Tail Snapper (To’au). There are about 20-30 fish that are generally accepted as great table fare here in Hawaii. 

This activity is moderately challenging. You should be comfortable snorkeling in open water and in good general health. No extreme athletic ability required – just a willingness to learn and challenge yourself.

Absolutely. We focus on abundant species, many of which are invasive or need population control. Our practices strictly adhere to Hawaiian fishing regulations with an emphasis on conservation.

Yes! We can clean your catch for you to take back to your accommodations or recommend local restaurants that will prepare your fish for you.

We understand vacation plans can change. All of our dives have a 48 hour cancellation polity. Cancel outside of 48 hours from the start of your dive and receive a full refund. Cancel inside of 48 hours from the start of the dive, payment is due in full. We offer a Trip Protection Service that allows you to cancel for any reason up to 12 hour from the start of your dive, payment is fully refundable minus Trip Protection Fees (9%). If we need to cancel due to weather you receive a full refund. 

All of our excursions are shoreline spearfishing trips. The Hawaiian islands are “new” in geological terms and have yet to settle and create the vast reef systems that you would find in Florida, Bahamas or Mexico. In areas where there are vast reef systems it may be advantageous to use a boat to access remote reefs offshore that experience less fishing pressure, but here in Hawaii our reef is all within about 3 tenths of a mile from shore and very accessable from the shoreline. Once you pass the main reef system it’s all deep water with no remote reef systems. We want to maximize your spearfishing time, so we enter from shore and spend the entire time in the water training and spearfishing.

Please bring a swimsuit and towel. We would also recommend having a breakfast prior to arrival. We have plenty of water. All the gear you need is included in your dive, however, if you have your own snorkeling gear, such as mask, snorkel, fins or wetsuit, feel free to bring those along. We will make a determination the morning of the dive on what gear will work best for you.
Our minimum age for our Group Intro Dive is 14 years old.
 
Our Private Dive minimum age is 12 years old.

Absolutely! If you have gear that you are comfortable with feel free to bring it along. We will also have gear available for your dive. We will figure out what will work best for you the morning of the dive.

If you already have a low volume mask, snorkel and fins, we recommend bringing them. Chances are if you do a dive with us it may not be the only time you enjoy the ocean during your stay. Having your gear makes all of your ocean adventures more enjoyable.

Yes! You’ll be doing some pretty awsome stuff, so lets capture those memories! We recommend a short “floatie stick” or selfie stick. Chest mount won’t work and typically the head mount is more hassle than it’s worth as it tends to slip off easily while diving.

If it’s not safe we don’t go!

Our guides are expects at reading the weather using various apps, forecasting tools and an intimate knowledge of how various weather will affect our coastline. We don’t have “set” dive locations, which allows us to account for wind, rain and swell. In the event we see something in the forecast that may require us to cancel a dive for the safety of our guests we try and let you know as soon as possible via call, text or email.

 

If we cancel, we will do our best to rebook you to another day. We will give you a full refund if we cannot accommodate you.

 

Sometimes we have to cancel our dive at the last minute. While we know it is a major inconvenience for our guests sometimes the conditions change from safe to unsafe right before the dive. Sometimes the ocean conditions are calming down and we hope they’ll be safe enough to run the dive – and they aren’t. We do our best with the information we have and our experience to make the best decision.

 

We would rather keep you safe and have you out another time than push it. So rest assured we do our best to make the right decision.

If you are a non-resident a fishing license is now required in Hawaii. You can purchase your fishing license here.

We recommend waiting until the morning of your trip to purchase your license in order account for any weather related cancellations.
