Our spearing charters typically run all day. We divide the charter into groups of two or three who will be dropped on the same site together. Typically a group will hit a spot and then we move to the next spot and the next group dives there. Occasionally and only if the charter approves we will "back dive" a spot if there are an abundance of fish according to the group just surfacing. The majority of the sites we hit are around 100' of water and are low relief hardbottom reef.

None of the sites we go to are public numbers. Divers are limited to 4 tanks each and we will drop groups until they are out of gas or bottom time. The boat has room for 46 al80s in its racks or 34 al80s and 10 8" diameter tanks.

 Typically we "live boat", meaning we do not anchor but drop a buoy on the reef. Divers hit the water when we pull alongside the buoy and follow it down and surface via free ascent when and where they want to. We require surface markers (like a safety sausage) and an audible signal when live boating.

Our most popular target fish are Gag and Red Groupers, Red and Mangrove (aka black, gray) snappers, flounder, sheepshead, triggerfish and the shovelnose lobster. These fish are abundant and of legal size on our reefs in state waters. It is our experience that Amberjack are not typically of legal size in state waters and we do not target them nor their habitat (public artifical reefs) on our charters, although we will stop over a bridge span or wreck to allow divers a crack at them if they are so inclined and promise to be discerning and selective with their shots.

Shovelnose are masters of blending in with their surroundings and are know to frequently hang upsidedown in ledges and overhangs. There in the pictures below the lobsters are in the openand readily grabbable.... can you see them (1 per pic)?
