Remote Indonesia Spearfishing Trip

Eight days chasing pelagic and reef fish in parts of the Indonesian archipelago so remote that large commercial fishing boats do not reach them. You fly from Bali to the starting point, then spend the trip hunting from a traditional phinisi with one guide for every two guests. Targets include dogtooth tuna, Spanish mackerel, green jobfish and giant trevally, and a professional photographer comes along to record the catch. Meals, internal flights and accommodation are covered, so the days belong to the water.

Spearfishing out here is a long game of patience. You hang at the surface, breathe slow, then drop down a wall into blue water and wait, still and quiet, for something big to come up from the deep and take a look at you. Most drops end with nothing, and that is part of it: the moment a big fish turns in from the gloom, every one of those empty dives is worth it. Back on board, the photos go round the table and talk turns to tomorrow's spot.
