Spearfishing Huatulco invites you to join Captain Gonzalo Cruz for a fun day of spearfishing in the waters near Huatulco, Mexico. The crew is very passionate about spearfishing and freediving and will do their best to make sure you have a blast while you’re aboard.

The boat itself is a 27’ Imemsa that’s powered by a Yamaha engine. It’s equipped with all the necessary safety and navigation gear, plus amenities such as a shower that you can use. There is plenty of space aboard for up to 8 passengers, so feel free to bring along your friends or family members.

The captain knows the local fishery like the back of his hand and will take you to the best places for either spearfishing or just regular freediving. Some of the fish species you can expect to see in these waters include Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, Amberjack, and Spanish Mackerel.

The price of a trip includes three spearguns with all of the accompanying fishing and snorkeling gear. Feel free to bring some drinks and snacks if you want, and don’t forget a pair of sunglasses. Don’t worry if you’re not experienced in spearfishing, the crew is there to show you all you need to know.

1-3 Hours Spearfishing Trip NO BOAT

Everything I hoped for! Shore Dive warmup to Bay Tour

VERIFIED

As a beginner with a strong passion and commitment to learn the sport, Andrew and Gonzalo taught me a lot. The breath work lesson before the dive was more enlightening than anything I've come across on youtube. With thier guidance I was able to do my first guided max breath hold and achieved over 3 mins which they say is above average. This was a great leap forward in my understanding and abilities and a real confidence boost for me! We swam all around the bay and dove on fish. They pointed out a few different good eating fish and then demonstrated good dive forms and good hunting techniques. They took time with my girl too who is less serious about the sport and she even shot her first fish with a speargun! I got two fish which was icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned. There is a lot going on as a newbie and I think its more important to focus on finding my zen in the water, learning my gear, and improving technique. At the end Gonzalo jumped right in and cleaned my two fish for me and Andrew graciously gifted us some of his catch with which we had two meals the following day. It was a great introduction to our week here along the coast. I'll be spending a few days practicing up for the Bays Tour by boat which I'm super stoked for! (no expectations!)

4 Hour Trip - Spearfishing Bays

Great Experience! Do it!

VERIFIED

going from Bay to Bay really gave me a lot of confidence in swimming in deeper waters. We saw a lot more species than the short diving and more varied underwater features. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to advance their understanding of spearfishing! Thank you, Andrew and Gonzalo! I hope to return sooner than later!
