About Your Trip

We will meet at Santa Catalina Beach, where the adventure begins.

From beginner to expert-level spots, this stretch of the Pacific coast offers a wide variety of locations. Far removed from big cities, the area guarantees a rich natural environment. Within a 25–60 minute boat ride, we’ll reach our action zone, exploring different spots to find the best conditions of the day.

Our local guides are lifelong watermen—skilled captains and multi-talented professionals—ready to share their secret spots and knowledge. They’ll guide you to land a powerful Cubera Snapper, spot wahoo in the blue, chase down a grouper, or simply enjoy the pristine Pacific waters filled with abundant marine life and an incredible variety of fish. We target the species you desire and bring you to the best available locations in the area.

Our range extends from Cebaco Island to the coast before Coiba, covering depths from the surface down to over 100 feet. Water temperatures average between 29–30°C at the surface and 20–22°C at depth.

We recommend bringing your own freediving gear, along with a wetsuit or rash guard for protection. Weight belts and spearguns are provided, with wetsuits and snorkel sets available upon request.

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 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.
