🔥 NOT A CHARTER — THIS IS A FULL IMMERSION WEEK OF SPEARFISHING TRAINING

Post: This August, I’m running something different.

Not a casual charter. Not just hunting fish.

The Mozambique Spearfishing Boot Camp is a full week of structured, hands-on coaching — designed to give you the tools to consistently find fish, dive with purpose, and hunt with precision.

We’ll cover: ✔️ Reef strategy, stealth, and structure
✔️ Wreck safety and deep diving planning
✔️ Bluewater drifts and pelagic behavior
✔️ Breath-hold efficiency and gear setup

And to top it off — every diver gets their own CDR4 DEVILFISH speargun included in the package.

📍 August 1–9, 2025
📍 Delagoa Bay, Mozambique
🎯 Only 8 spots

If you're ready to stop winging it and start really learning this game — apply now.

Feeling good about this year. Great to get some dives and fish with the new DEVILFISH 7.5mm series guns that will be available very soon.
I got some great footage too, which I am amped to share. These guns are next level, a culmination of years of little tweaks to an existing epic set up. Can’t wait to share more details.

This fish keeps me going. Jobbie, Uku, Blue Green Snapper, Kakaap what ever you call them. They have to be one of the most fun to hunt and best eating of all fish in the tropics and sub-tropics.
Is there a better fish out there that ticks all boxes like a Jobbie?

Join me on a Shark filled action packed day of spearfishing Spanish Mackerel off the Kwazulu Natal coast in South Africa on the Taxman. The water quality was not great and this was one of the sharkiest days I have seen in a while. There were good numbers of shoal couta, and we shot some great fish. Managing to keep all of them away from the sharks.

This video is in a blow by blow format, with loads of tips and tricks to learn from. You could say this is a video on how to spearfish with sharks.
Hope you enjoy.
