Top Shot Spearfishing 76-6230 Ali‘i Drive, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

"This was a great way to learn the basics of spearfishing and the island regulations. It would cost $700-$800 to outfit yourself with the gear they provide, plus you get to soak up their guidance and knowledge. Top Shot Spearfishing offered a great environment to learn how to interact with the island’s ecosystem in a sustainable way."

"This was my first time Spearfishing with some freediving experience. I did the private dive with Tim and it was amazing! After our intro discussion he took me to a location that was perfect for my skill level. He did a great job of coaching me to get fish in close. There was a great balance of feedback and let me figure things out. I would highly recommend this to anyone with even the slightest interest in Spearfishing or sustainably harvesting your own food."

"Tim was a great instructor into the world of Freediving and spearfishing. He had extensive knowledge of the reef fish in the area and operated utilizing the fish of high fecundity and quality table fare. The trip was a great learning experience. My only recommendations would be for the guide to have a sharp fillet knife and to implore the participants to bring thin gloves. Tim used thin construction gloves which was smart. Top shot provided an amazing experience through communication in email and text prior to the trip and excellent in person instruction. Thanks again."

"Five stars for Tim! Our spearfishing experience was top-notch. Tim's expertise made learning the basics a breeze. From efficient free diving to fish species insights, he covered it all. Our adventure in an isolated spot was mesmerizing—eagle rays, eels, and an abundant amount of fish. Tim's knowledge, kindness, and teaching skills made it an unforgettable and enjoyable trip. Highly recommend for a fun and educational experience that ends with a delicious lunch!"

"I went on a spearfishing outing with Jeremy in Kona. It was a fantastic experience. Since this was my first time spearfishing, we spent the first hour talking through the activity and learning the basics of the sport. Jeremy was tremendously knowledgeable and very helpful, always willing to answer any of the questions we asked. The time we spent on land was key to approach the rest of the morning with confidence. After the initial debriefing we went to a fairly isolated spot in the Kona Coast, brimming with healthy coral and fish. There, Jeremy made sure that we had absorbed the fundamentals of spearfishing by running through a couple of diving drills. After that, we spent the rest of the day diving and catching fish. If you are looking for an amazing activity and the chance to learn a very cool sport from a very knowledgeable and experienced instructor, I 100% recommend booking a spearfishing trip with top shot spearfishing. It will not disappoint!"
