Spearfishing in Playa del Carmen & Cozumel

Step into one of humanity’s oldest fishing traditions—hunting fish underwater on breath-hold (apnea) using a speargun or polespear. With crystal-clear Caribbean water, vibrant reef systems, and seasoned guides, this is one of the most thrilling and immersive ways to experience the Riviera Maya.

For Beginners

If you’ve ever wanted to try spearfishing, this is the perfect place to start. Our certified freedivers and passionate spearos will teach you proper breath-hold techniques, safe hunting practices, and how to approach fish with confidence. It’s a fun, hands-on, educational experience designed to get you comfortable in the water and excited about the sport.

For Experienced Spearos

Already skilled and looking for your next challenge? Let us guide you to the region’s top trophy grounds. The Riviera Maya offers an incredible mix of environments—shallow and deep reefs, shipwrecks, and blue-water hunting. Tell us what you're after and we’ll tailor the day around your goals.

What’s Included

- Expert spearfishing guides
- Top-of-the-line equipment
- Fishing License
- Water and Soft Drinks
- Catch of the Day
- Daily charters customized for both beginners and advanced hunters

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
