1. Introduce about the spearfishing activity in Phu Quoc

1.1. Spearfishing in Phu Quoc: An exciting journey of discovery

Diving deep beneath the surface, you hunt for mature fish, carefully aiming and “shooting.” It might sound simple, but this activity requires advanced skills and years of experience. As you know, fish rarely stay still, they constantly swim in every direction. The high-pressure underwater environment makes it even more challenging to hit your target.

A professional diver possesses extensive experience in predicting fish movement and knows how to approach their target with minimal disturbance to avoid scaring them away. They also master the art of precise aiming, ensuring the target has no chance of escaping. The underwater battle unfolds dramatically between diver and fish. Some of these larger fish can weigh dozens of kilograms, presenting a significant challenge that ignites the diver’s spirit of adventure. Successfully “conquering” a target brings a thrilling sense of joy, akin to achieving a spectacular victory after an intense showdown.

1.2. Why is spearfishing considered a worthwhile activity to try?

Connect with nature, conquer challenges under the sea

Fishing isn’t just a recreational activity, it’s an ideal way to connect with nature and enjoy the freedom and thrill of underwater hunting. It presents a challenging experience as you navigate the depths of the ocean, where success demands not only skill and patience but also focus and agility to be able to hunt fish.

Savoring fresh and delicious creations

What could be better than enjoying your booty, freshly prepared and delicious, right on a deserted island? While it may not be as elaborate as dining in the restaurant, the experience of savoring your hard-won prizes is truly unique and a rarity for many. Amidst the pristine atmosphere by the shore, under swaying trees, the fresh fish sizzles over glowing charcoal. Whether grilled, steamed, or transformed into a tangy fish soup, porridge, or even sashimi, every dish is delightful. Removing the outer scales, you pick up a steaming piece of fish and dip it into the rich fish sauce from Phu Quoc—this is how true “connoisseurs” relish fresh seafood.

3. Types of spearfishing in Phu Quoc

Traditional spearfishing

Traditional spearfishing is an age-old practice for hunting fish, utilized by local fishermen. It involves using simple tools like harpoons or spears made from bamboo, wood, or metal. Fishermen catch fish directly from coral reefs and shallow waters, demanding patience, dexterity, and familiarity with the sea. If you’re looking to experience a natural lifestyle, this is an opportunity you shouldn’t miss.

Modern spearfishing

Modern spearfishing is an upgraded version of traditional spearfishing, with the support of modern equipment such as spearguns, diving masks, snorkels, and often scuba tanks. Spearguns are designed for power and precision, helping participants to hunt fish from greater distances compared to traditional tools. 

This activity is suitable for thrill-seeking tourists looking to challenge themselves with larger predatory fish like grouper, mackerel, and tuna.

4. Things to keep in mind when participating in spearfishing

Environmental protection: When participating in spearfishing, tourists need to respect the marine ecosystem, avoiding the hunting of small or threatened species. Moreover, refrain from damaging coral reefs and do not litter in the ocean.
