The
Atlantic coast of Florida is well known for being a spear fishing heaven. Wrecks, rubble and reefs hold
Hogfish, Grouper, Snapper, Amberjack, Tropical fish, and corals.
We offer 2 and 3 tank dive trips. Our trips are specifically designed for spear fishing and lobstering, when in season.
All divers are required to be experienced in spear fishing and additional requirements are you must dive with a computer
and be Advanced, Deep, and Nitrox certified. Remember, our reefs and aquatic life are precious resources so we only take
what we plan on eating.
If you have never been spear fishing or are a novice, no problem! We offer an
Introductory Spear Fishing Course (no certification). Our course teaches you boat safety,
spear fishing safety, rules and regulations, types of spear guns, spear heads, equipment, tips and techniques. Students get to experience spear fishing
while diving in the ocean under the supervision of an dive instructor.
