This will be our 14th trip to Fiji since 2021 - there is a reason we can't stop coming back to this very special part of the Pacific, and we can't wait to show you.
We’ve teamed up with local spearo legends of Rakiraki to bring you to the parts of Fiji that most visitors never get to see. Wild, untouched, alive with culture, and home to some of the healthiest coral reefs and fish diversity we've ever seen.
This is truely an untouched paradise.
During the week, you'll stay in luxury accommodation overlooking the very reefs we’ll be diving. Spend your days diving and spearing remote atolls and islands, endless blue water, incredible fish, guided spearfishing with freediving instructors and world record holding spearos, who have years of experience spearfishing in Fiji, and a skipper with over 40+ years of local experience (and who knows the best dive spots around).
You’ll experience a Fijian lovo (traditional beach cookup) with a catch and cook on an island with the fish you catch.
You’ll wander through a village, sit in a kava ceremony, hike to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world that most travellers never hear about, and explore a remote island filled with thousands of nesting seabirds (for all you bird loving enthusiasts, and if you're not already one - you will be)
We created this trip to bring together adventure, culture, and world class spearfishing in one of the most naturally biodiverse corners of the Pacific. If you’re ready to experience the true Fiji, we’d love to have you with us.

Your Vibe
If you already have experience spearfishing, and you are passionate about learning and growing your skills, this trip is for you. If your mindset is 'fish are just a bonus' and you love spending time in the ocean with some awesome people - this trip is for you.
If you don't have an ego, but a willingness to connect with nature and get stoked for other people's wins as much as your own - this trip is for you!
Spearfishing
We are spending 5 days exploring some of Fiji's most stunning and remote reefs, atolls, and islands, guided by world-class spearfishing instructors and locals who know exactly where the fish are and when. We're talking jobfish, Spanish mackerel, dogtooth tuna, wahoo, coral trout, emperors, trevally and so much more.
You'll dive in small groups matched to your skill level, with personalised coaching whether you're just finding your feet at depth or already comfortable hunting at 15 metres and beyond.
While our team will help you to land fish of a lifetime - this trip is for those who crave adventure, being out in some wild places, those who love learning and improving, and most importantly to spend time with likeminded people in one of the most beautiful parts of the world, and not taking anything too seriously!
There will be loads of diving, laughing and learning, and you will be gently pushed out of your comfort zones at times (with our team on your side the whole way).
You will leave the week with not only a new set of skills that you will surprise yourself with just what you're capable of - but a group of likeminded people who become life long friends and dive buddies.
Back on land, daily workshops take your skills even further — video analysis of your dives, technique breakdowns, equalisation, relaxation, and open Q&A sessions.
Workshops are split by level so everyone gets what they need, and everyone is welcome to all. There are also dedicated freediving sessions and pool time to fine-tune your technique and dial in your gun.
Bring your own gear — if you're unsure what you need, just reach out.

Trip FAQ’s
Can I join the trip on my own?
Yes! We always have solo travellers joining our trips. It's such an incredible place to meet like minded people who also love ocean adventures, and you'll leave the trip with a bunch of new life long friends.
What wetsuit thickness is best?
We recommend a 2mm - 3mm full freediving wetsuit. The full suit is for reef and sun protection on the big days out on the water.
Do I have to bring my own dive weights?
No, we will have dive weights ready for you so you don't have to travel with your own.
How do I best travel with freediving fins?
The best way to travel with freediving fins is in a hard or padded fin bag to prevent bending or breaking. Wrap the blades in clothing or bubble wrap for extra protection, avoid heavy items on top. If possible, bring them as carry-on to ensure they stay safe.
