THE GUIDE

Decades of Local Knowledge

The operation is guided by captains with long experience in the Jupiter area who select the best spots for lobster and spearfishing, increasing the odds of a successful hunt while managing safety and local regulations.

THE HUNT

Two-Tank Lobster & Spearfishing Focus

This trip is explicitly centered on hunting: two dives within a single 4.5-hour outing that concentrate on lobstering and spearfishing at prime local sites for certified, experienced hunters.

THE RULES

Regulated, Skills-Required Outing

Participants must meet strict requirements—EANx certification, advanced and local drift-diving experience, the ability to deploy a DSMB, and a saltwater fishing license—while observing no-DPV rules and staying within specified proximity to the guide.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

The pace is purposeful: a short briefing and check-in, then boat transit to selected hunting grounds where two guided dives are executed with an emphasis on drift skills, situational awareness, and adherence to catch limits. The operator compresses local knowledge into an efficient 4.5-hour window so skilled divers can focus on hunting, retrieval, and safe ascents with a DSMB at the ready.
