The Blue Water Hunter Presents The Big Island Roi Rally

The Big Island Roi Rally was a community based spear fishing event to help control an invasive species of grouper that was introduced to the Hawaiian islands in the early 1950‘s. This species of fish has been identified by local fisherman, recreational divers, professional divers, spearfisher men and women, scientists and aquatic resource management officials and more as a major detriment to our local reefs due to the Roi’s voracious appetite consuming millions of our indigenous local reef fish every year.

Freediving/Spearfishing Class

Our quarterly Freediving/Spearfishing Classes are scheduled for Friday, March 26, June 25, Sept 24 and December 3, 2010 from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm. Private and group classes are also available. Preregister by calling Rob White at the Blue Water Hunter (808) 331-2237.

Our classes will take place at the Blue Water Hunter store location and start promptly at 5:00 pm. The class is scheduled until 6:30 pm but may go longer dependent on student participation, questions etc. The cost for this unique class is $20.00 cash, per person and is nonrefundable. This minimal fee will help cover set-up, office supplies and utilities.

This class will be exclusively on-land, therefore all ages and abilities are welcome. Non-divers are also welcome due to the inherent gain from breathing exercises for anyone. The intention of this class is to introduce people to breathing techniques and breathing exercises that can be done easily and safely at home as well as basic spearfishing techniques, gear rigging etc. to help attract and land some of our local, Hawaii reef fish. Therefore, the class will be broken into two (2) segments: First, freediving and second, spearfishing. By breaking down freediving and spearfishing we will be able to focus better on each of the two most important elements to become a safe, effective and efficient hunter.

For questions or to sign up for this class or future classes please contact Rob White at the Blue Water Hunter (808) 331-2237 Tuesday – Saturday 9:00-5:00 Hawaii time.
