Spearfishing for Yellowfin Tuna in Costa Rica: A True Test of Teamwork

Gabriella Gerbasi March 4, 2023

Our recent spearfishing adventure for yellowfin tuna in Costa Rica was an exhilarating challenge. I worked incredibly hard for this tuna! I shot at 4-5 tunas, and one of them was almost 200lbs according to CJ. Unfortunately, they all ripped off or barely poked the fish because I was just a little too far. Despite the frustration, I did some of my best diving.

Join me in the Florida Spearfishing Tournament

Gabriella Gerbasi April 10, 2022

Join me in the @floridaspearfishing tournament. An event that allows people from all over the state of #Florida to compete! Spearfish all the time like you normally do, except now when you get a fish you can enter it to win prizes.

I’ve always felt inspired by the sea women of Jeju and the Ama divers who represent the feminine strength and resilience as a self sufficient sisterhood of diving women, mothers and grandmothers. These women are treated like heroes by the people of their island because they support their families, they fish and harvest what they eat and provide in the most natural way possible.

Sustainable Spearfishing

Nowadays, we are almost completely divorced from our food sources; it is a recognized symptom of modern life. This is one of the reasons why I like spearfishing so much. It allows me to prepare an entire meal with my own hands, breath and body.

Bahamas Adventures - Chasing Coral

Did you know that coral reefs around the world are vanishing at an unprecedented rate ?

Coral reefs are the rainforests of the oceans, providing a home for a dazzling array of life. Reef-building corals are the trees that form the foundation of the ecosystem.

Coral reefs play a vital role in sustaining the health of our oceans and our economy.

Even if you live far from coral reefs, you can have an impact on reef health and conservation.

Freediving & the Art of Letting Go

Gabriella Gerbasi January 6, 2021

I recently started my journey into freediving and so far, it’s been magical. Freediving offers more opportunities to see marine life and it’s a great complement to scuba diving.

I like freediving because it’s the most direct and intimate way to connect with the ocean. Freediving is all about letting go, all the distractions of life are left at the surface.

Meet the Sea Women of Jeju

Meet the sea women of Jeju. The haenyeo represent feminine strength and resilience as a self sufficient sisterhood of diving mothers and grandmothers. Haenyeo roughly translates into ‘Women of the Sea,’ and these free divers are treated like heroes by the people of Jeju island. For these women, diving is a way of life.
