Shore diving - for Beginners or advanced

Shore diving is perhaps the most common form of spear fishing and simply involves entering and exiting the sea from beaches and hunting around ocean structures, usually reef, but also rocks, sea grasses  or sand. Usually shore divers hunt at depths of 5–25 meters (16–82 ft), depending on location. Reef fish can be abundant in these locations. In subtropical areas, sharks may be less common, but other challenges face the shore diver, such as managing entry and exit in the presence of big waves. Timing is important so the diver does not get pushed onto rocks by waves. Beach entry can be safer, but more swimming is involved and sometimes it is strenuous crossing the reef-line. Shore dives produce mainly reef fish, but ocean going pelagic fish fish are caught from shore dives too, and can be specifically targeted.

Boat diving - for beginners or advanced

We use Boats captained by a local licensed boat captain to access offshore reefs, although Mayan Beach Garden does have two kayaks that can be used . Sometimes a boat is necessary to access a location that is close to shore, but inaccessible by land due to strong surf or rocky shores, as in parts of Mahahual. Methods and gear used for boat diving are similar to shore diving or blue water hunting, depending on the target prey. Here in Mahahual, you can fish Chinchorro, Mahahual and most of the Costa Maya.

Blue water hunting - advanced only

Blue water hunting is the area of most interest to elite spear fishers, but has increased in popularity generally in recent years. It involves accessing usually very deep and clear water and trolling, chumming for large pelagic fish species such as marlin, tuna, or giant trevally. Blue water hunting is often conducted in drifts; the boat driver drops divers and allow them to drift in the current for up to several kilometers before collecting them. Notably, blue water hunters make use of breakaway rigs and large multi-band wooden guns to catch and subdue their prey. If the prey is large and still has fight left after being subdued, a second gun can provide a kill shot at a safe distance. This is acceptable to IBSRC and IUSA regulations as long as the spear fisher loads it himself in the water. Blue water hunting is conducted worldwide.

The instructors at Costa Maya Spear Fishing regularly clock depths up to 35 meters or over 100 feet deep. Most dives, however are at the 65-80 feet range. If you need training to go deeper, courses are available to improve your skills.
