Spears, Slings, and Submarines

Alright, let's talk gear. We're not just tossing you in with a pointy stick – we've got the good stuff. You'll be working with top-notch spearguns or pole spears, depending on your experience and preference. We'll hook you up with a mask, snorkel, and fins that fit like a glove. For those new to the game, we usually start with Hawaiian slings – they're like underwater slingshots and perfect for beginners. As you get more comfortable, we might graduate you to a proper speargun. And don't worry about holding your breath forever – we'll teach you some tricks to extend your bottom time without turning blue. The waters around Culebra are teeming with life, so we'll focus on spots where the fish like to hang out – think rocky outcroppings, coral heads, and the edges of reefs. It's like an underwater playground, and you're the new kid on the block.

Target Species

Now, let's talk about the star of our show – the Greater Amberjack. These bad boys are the heavyweight champs of Culebra's waters. Picture a fish that looks like it's been hitting the gym, with a sleek, torpedo-shaped body that can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh over 100 pounds. Amberjacks are known for their powerful runs and never-say-die attitude, which makes them a top pick for spearfishers looking for a challenge. They usually hang out near reefs and wrecks in deeper water, so we might need to do some free diving to get to them. The best time to target these bruisers is from late fall through early spring when they come closer to shore. What makes them so exciting to catch? It's all about the fight. When you spear an Amberjack, be ready for a wild ride – they'll take you on a tour of the reef before you can even think about bringing them in. And let's not forget, they're delicious. Grilled, blackened, or raw as sashimi, Amberjack is a treat that'll make all that effort underwater totally worth it.

Why Spearos Keep Coming Back

Listen, there's a reason why folks who try spearfishing once end up making it their go-to water activity. It's not just about catching dinner – it's about becoming part of the underwater world. You're not sitting on a boat waiting for a bite; you're down there in the thick of it, face-to-face with your prey. It's a full-body workout, a mental game, and an adrenaline rush all rolled into one. Plus, it's as sustainable as fishing gets. You see exactly what you're catching, so there's no bycatch or wasted fish. And let's be real – there's something pretty badass about bringing home a fish you caught with your own two hands (and a spear). Our regulars say it's like unlocking a whole new level of the ocean. Once you've seen what's down there and felt the thrill of the hunt, regular old fishing just doesn't cut it anymore.
