On behalf of Morro Negrito Surf Camp, we invite you to come check out the beautiful clear waters of the Pacific coast of Panama, surrounded by pristine corral reefs and incredible blue-water pinnacles. This area is virtually untouched by modern times, and your first visit here will be like going back in time!  When you dive underwater you will be amazed by the beauty of diversity that is common to this area.  Spearfishing opportunities are very diverse, and some of the fish you can expect to be hunting include: Mahi-Mahi (dolphin/dorado), Roosterfish,  Blue Runners, Amberjack (up to 90 pounds), Tuna, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Sailfish and Marlin…Uhu’s (parrotfish and bumpheads), Triggerfish (as big as 20 pounds), Barred and Golden Trevally (some up to 15 lbs), Milkfish, Cubera snapper (we usually shoot a few 50 pounders),  Dogtooth Snapper, and Snook (up to 30 pounds). Regarding tactics and spots we employ for spearfishing, we have a few dozen dive sites very close to the camp.  These include two river-mouths within half a mile, rock formations with caves, a rocky shoreline right off the surf camp, and many beautiful coral reefs.  At your discretion, we take all-day trips to some of the Outer Islands, which is a 10 mile run and is an additional $40 per trip (split between everyone).  These Outer Islands are truly amazing and they hold some of the nicest dive spots, including amazing shallow coral reefs loaded with big parrotfish and triggerfish, volcanic rock drop-off's with lots of caves (loaded with snapper), and amazing blue-water pinnacles.  Most of the spots are only 10-20 feet deep, but the pinnacles and drop-offs go down past 100 feet (they slowly taper off so they are conducive to any freedive level).               The accommodations at the Morro Negrito Surf Camp are pretty rustic, but plenty adequate (it’s been described by many as “a step above camping”). The housing consists of several masonry buildings with smooth concrete floors, and mostly metal roofs. There is a comfortable dining area next to the kitchen with a great ocean view, where everyone eats and hangs out.  All the meals are very tasty and are prepared by the locals. Fresh fish, chicken, beans, rice, yuca fries, and vegetables are the usual meals. The dining area overlooks a beautiful view of the ocean and there is a TV/DVD for nighttime movie viewing.  All the sleeping areas have nets (even though the bugs aren't all that bad).  The bathrooms are clean and spacious, and the cold-water showers feel great after a long day in the sun!  =)   Electricity is limited to generator-powered nighttime use.                   We offer either 7 day or 10 day trips for non-stop spearfishermen, and our rates are very reasonable (under $100 per day!).  Everything is included except your airfare and a few exceptions  listed below.  Your trip with us starts when you land in the Panama City airport.  You are greeted at the airport by Mr. Cesar.  We then take you to a hotel near downtown Panama City for the night (the hotel is nice). If you care to eat at the hotel you can as they have a restaurant (this is not included in our package).  Then you rise early and Cesar will take you to the bus station to travel on a comfortable and “modern” charter bus, cruising through the villages, mountains and jungle of Panama. The bus will stop about half way to rest and food (also not part of the package).  After about 5 hours you will be picked up at the bus stop by one of the dive guides, take a van ride to the boat ramp, and then proceed to our island by way of a "Panga" boat (a cool 45 minute ride).  Depending on the tide, this all usually will get you to the camp by 1:30 pm or so, time enough to settle in, and maybe even get some shore dives in. Bring an adventurous spirit, and this will be an experience that you won’t forget!!!!!!    If you have any more questions please send us an email at: webmaster@panamaspearfishing.com
