Spear Fishing in Costa Rica

Visiting Costa Rica can be the adventure of a lifetime! One of the perks is the close proximity to great fishing grounds that are easy and accessible. I love fishing and jumped at the opportunity to join this trip.

The trip started by a wonderful jet-ski ride through multiple river ways and eventually the main delta leading to the Pacific Ocean. The ride out of the river is exhilarating with the waves crashing over the front of the jet-skis.

The first spot that we stopped was at this beautiful small island outcropping. Unfortunately due to the impending storm the water clarity was poor.

The next location we had to use the GPS to find. It was a large boulder in 35 foot of water a short distance out from the first location. The water quality here was great below 13 feet.

Here you can see one of the fish being speared. Of course, there are also many options for standard fishing here too. But spear fishing is certainly a physical way to experience the sport!
