Diving for Dinner the Most Exciting and Ethical way Possible.
Diving for Dinner the Most Exciting and Ethical way Possible.
Come dive with us and hunt for dinner offshore Panama City Beach, Florida.
Welcome to Panama City Spearfishing Charters. We take experienced scuba
divers on custom trips to find dinner and alittle offshore adventure.
While we are avid diver's ourselves, after a time blowing bubbles on the
same old public reefs began to lack the sense of adventure it once
held. Then we discovered spearfishing! If you are like us please gives
us a call and lets setup a trip.
Spearfishing is the most ethical form of meat gathering there is. Unlike hook and line fishing, an experienced spearo has zero by-catch. By-catch is the fish you catch that are not desired in pursuit of your target fish. Fish that are too small or the wrong species are obviously released but rarely survive commercial gear types and techniques. This is not catch and release trout fishing from a shallow stream that we are talking about but trawling and longlining fish off the bottom in 120' and greater depths! Commercially caught fish, unless it was speared, typically has a very high rate of by-catch. Thats why they call it fishing, not "catching."
Our federal reef fish and pelagic permits have finally transferred allowing us to target fish further from shore! This means that we will be able to target the chicken coops, reef-maker pryamids and shipwrecks that hold good Amberjack, grouper and snapper in addition to the normal retinue of low relief hardbottom that is so good at producing red grouper and shovelnose lobster.

Spearfishing is much closer to "catching" than any other method of marine hunting.
Our Charters cost $600 for the first 5 divers and $120 for each additional diver, with a max of 8.
