Spearfishing in Pattaya – Private Trips to Koh Rin, Koh Pai and Koh Krok
Spearfishing in Pattaya is a private sea adventure for guests who want to try underwater hunting near the islands. Two different programs are available for beginners and experienced participants, depending on the preferred route, skill level and current sea conditions.
The distant-island option takes place around Koh Rin and Koh Pai and includes a private boat, Russian-speaking underwater hunting guide, complete equipment and lunch prepared from the catch onboard.
The shorter speedboat option operates near Koh Krok, where the hunting areas are usually shallower and more comfortable for first-time participants. Equipment selection, introductory training and instructor support are included.

About Spearfishing in Pattaya
Spearfishing in Pattaya can be organized as a separate private program or as part of a longer sea trip, depending on the selected option.
Beginners normally start in shallower reef areas where the depth is approximately 3–5 meters. More experienced hunters may be able to use deeper locations, including depths of around 15 meters or more, when conditions and skill level permit.
The hunting session usually lasts approximately 3–4 hours. The exact duration depends on the route, weather, visibility, current and instructor decision.
Spearfishing Equipment and Training
Equipment is selected individually according to the participant’s size, experience and selected program.
The standard set may include a wetsuit, weights, fins, mask, snorkel, knife and spearfishing gun. Participants receive instructions about correct equipment use before entering the water.
First-time participants also receive introductory training and a safety briefing from the instructor.
Possible Catch
Possible catches may include barracuda, trevally, needlefish and pompano.
The actual result cannot be guaranteed and depends on the season, chosen location, water visibility, sea conditions and luck.
Depending on the selected program, the catch can be prepared for lunch onboard, cooked at a local Thai café or taken with you.
Who Can Join the Program?
Private spearfishing is available for beginners and guests with previous underwater hunting experience.
