Spearfishing in SAIPAN -AQUASMITH.COM

We are proud to offer the first and only organized Spearfishing Course /Tour on Saipan.
Great visibility and year-round warm temperatures make Saipan one of the good
locations for spearfishing.

This is a great course for those who have never tried spearfishing or for those who are
beginners not yet comfortable in deeper water. You will use and learn all of the equipment.
You will also practice aiming and shooting at fish in waters shallow enough to stand in.

Each following consecutive day of fishing is only $75.

This is a good course for the more advanced snorkeler or free diver because it takes
you to some deeper waters found outside of the reef.

Each following consecutive day of fishing is only $110.

You can keep only what you like or you can keep all of the fish you catch! There are
some local restaurants here, Kaizoku, Furusato and Kinpachi Restaurant, that will
prepare your fresh catch for you!

This course is recommended for advanced spearfishers only because it takes you to
the back of the island of Saipan. Though this area is known for rougher surf and strong
currents, the spearfishing sites are pristine and mostly untouched.

This is a great course for anyone who is interested in skin diving at dive sites where you
can see eagle rays and sometimes even sea turtles. We have about 20 dive spots
suitable for beginner to experienced divers.

Unlike most snorkeling tours, you can also learn the basics of free diving and experience
the pleasure and freedom of diving without scuba.

Our rental equipment is the same equipment used by world-renowned spear fishers
and free divers. We have Comanche spear guns by Cressi-sub and Omer Millennium
Winter long fins. We use top of the line brands of equipment for all of our spearfishing
courses and outings. Our rental packages are included in the price of your course and
consist of a wetsuit and everything else you need to have an enjoyable day of fishing.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

-	The use of a scuba unit while spearfishing is strictly prohibited in the CNMI.
-	We cannot offer courses to certain popularly requested areas as they are marine conservation areas and any fishing is strictly prohibited. These areas include the Grotto, Bird Island, Managaha Island, and other sites that are restricted to access by boat.
-	We practice sustainable fishing habits by catching only fish that are suitable for eating or selling to vendors. This means that we only intentionally aim at and intend to catch fish of a certain kind and size.
