We're excited to head to New Zealand for a liveaboard spearfishing trip around the Mercury Islands! With only 8 guests onboard, this offers maximum dive time, and a rare opportunity to target some of New Zealand's best fish
What You Can Expect
For 4 days and 3 nights, we will stay on the liveaboard, ‘The M.V INSIGHT’, sailing around the amazing Greater Mercury Islands: exploring the reefs, freediving, and most importantly, spearfishing.
- We are diving the magical waters of the Mercury Island group targeting some of New Zealand's amazing marine life from kingfish, snapper, crayfish and so much more!
- You will have two guides among the group helping you land fish & improve your spearfishing techniques.
- The advantage of being based at the Mercury Island group is that we will always find a protected place to dive.
- There is a variety of depths available making it a suitable trip from beginner to advanced level diver.
- We are also going to fillet and freeze your catch for you to bring back to Australia after the retreat.
What Does Your Trip Include?
The trip fee of $3,190 will include:
- 3 nights (4 days), all meals included
- dive weights
What's the plan?
- Arrive the day before departure to ensure maximum water time
- Fly out the day after we arrive back on shore.
- Accommodation will be needed the day of arrival and the day we dock back on shore. We can help you with this.
Rather than leave it to the last minute, make sure that you book your space as soon as possible. With limited seats available, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the avid thrill-seeker.
