I can’t say it enough how well taken care of I was in Hawaii and how thankful I am to everyone that went way way out of their way to make our stay amazing. From Day one Kimi Werner (www.kimiwernerart.com) helped us plan every bit and made sure that we made the most of the conditions and had fun on and off the water. On Kona, Rob White of www.Bluewaterhunter.com took a day off of work to share some of his dive spots with us and it...

If you are looking for a good live aboard trip with the chance to get Yellowtail, Yellowfin Tuna, White Seabass, and just about every other good fish off the coast of Baja Mexico… James and Joseph in San Diego have organized a spearfishing trip down the coast for you. There will be two tenders and it will be Spearfishing only not a mixed trip. If you want to fish you can but this is a hardcore spearing trip aimed at getting you the...

Entry point, shore dive Maui Seriously? This does not look like the best place to get in or out. If you look really closely in the bottom picture you can see me floating a bit out side of the breaking waves to get an idea of how the conditions have been and what it has taken to make a day of it diving and be successful. (The pic is taken from a vantage point on the top of the cliff looking down about 30 feet to the water and beyond to...

Lauren Bartlett/Spalding and Cameron on the way to the jump off rock Having done a few warm up dives along the coast I’ve been hoping the seas would drop enough for us to get out in the deeper water where I know there are some good fish. Yesterday Peahi, known better to the outside world as JAWS which is a world famous surf Break was going off so the weather report of 15-18ft seas and 30 knot winds should have us deterred from going...

The last thing many an unlucky Hogfish may see in the Bahamas if you take Lisa with you. No wonder they are fooled in to letting her get so close. Tiger Grouper in a typical hiding spot Don’t trust her. She’s good with kids, smiles a lot, and looks good in a bathing suit. She also happens to be a determined underwater hunter and doesn’t take it very well on the odd occasion that a fish eludes her. Over the course of the...

We do so many trips that are just full on all day long and leave you exhausted at the end of the day having made 100+ dives to absurd depths and then leave you with a gigantic cooler of fish to clean at the end of the day. Not that its a bad thing, but it is nice for a change to go and have a relaxing trip and just take it easy. Dive 40-50 feet for a few hours, take some pictures and shoot the exact fish you want for dinner that night. Head...

Subscriber Taylor wrote: I’m going to cabo next week in pelapas ventana. I saw some pictures of you on the website. What do you recommend bringing? I’m 17 and willing to shoot fish in blue water as big as possible (no bigger than 100# though) and have been diving consistently around the globe for 2 years now. Anything important I should bring down there? Any pointers would be much appreciated. How many float lines do you use if...

I need your help, those of you that do a lot of boat trips or have lists that your check before you head out please let me know what I’ve forgotten! Planning another trip the Bahamas and I have a few weeks to make all the preparations… except I’m on the other side of the world and when I get back I will have less than a few hours to pack the boat, my gear, girl, food, water, gas, etc etc etc for a week long trip. So what...
