SPEARFISHING CHARTERS

Spearfishing is one of the fastest growing watersports in New Zealand and the Hauraki Gulf has some of the best spearfishing charters to offer for those keen on hunting.

Spearfishing offers a totally different experience in comparison to scuba diving, without the aid artificial breathing apparatus and the hiss of regulators scaring all the fish away, the opportunity to encounter fish life up close and personal increases dramatically. You will get much closer and see a bigger variety of fish; you are now no longer spectators but rather participants, another predator in the food chain of life.

SPEARFISHING CHARTERS

New Zealand Diving offers a whole list of destinations to dive, all from the luxury of our dive boat. These include destinations such as Little Barrier, Great Barrier, as well as sites closer to home.

Once you’ve geared up and descended into the water, you’ll become addicted to the chase as you get up close to a variety of fish like kingies, snapper and more. With good luck on your side, you may catch a few to take home. They’ll taste that much better considering how hard you worked for them!

HIRE

Great Barrier Islands Spearfishing charters have a diving depth of around 5 m to 25m, perfect for any level of free diving. The average visibility is 10-20 metres with access to the dive sites.

Great Barrier Island is a common breeding ground for schools of Blue Mao Mao, Sweep, Snapper and Butterfish.

You will often come across Kingfish as you descend these dramatic walls which drop down to boulders and gradually level out exposing cracks where you can find hidden Crayfish There are also large kelp covered boulders that provide refuge for Blue Cod.
