Did a day to Nusa Peninda with Mario and gang. My group had an array of special needs. My Wife is an experienced Freediver and she was five months pregnant. I also had a friend who had a fear of water and of being submerged.
Mario and his crew managed to look after each and every one of us and our unique needs. We had a great snorkelling experience and I even managed to get in some Spearfishing for myself as well.
The BBQ at the beach was idyllic and the food wonderfully prepared with a lavish spread of Balinese style vegetables, the fish we caught and fruits.
Looking forward to coming back.

Absolutely Perfect!
This is a my third trip with Mario and in typical Mario fashion - he never fails to surprise and exceeded all our expectations.
Mario is more than just the captain of the ship - he is a great friend, full of jokes, stories and always having a solution for any problem! Mario literally knows everyone in bali!
I came with a group of 4 other friends, of which 1 who has never swam in the open sea before, 2 of which have never spearfished before.
We did 1 day at Nusa Penida and 3 days at the Gili islands which was still not enough!
Mario and his crew were great hosts, making us feel at home and looking out for all of us. Mario made sure to ensure that there were enough guides in the water when we were spearfishing such that we were all safe and tailored the spearfishing spots to our abilities. He has spots that range from shall to very deep. Everyone managed to spear fish!
Gear available on hand was top-notch. All we had to do was bring our swimsuits and sunblock - mask/fins/wetsuit/spearguns/floats were all provided and in great condition.
Food was amazing - Mario brought us to secret local hangouts and he knows where the best foods are. On top of that he is at least a 2 star Michelin Chef - nothing beats fresh sashimi on the boat, and wait till you try out the fish he grills!
Accomodation on Gili Air was at Ombok Paradise - a beautiful island hotel, perfect for a great night's rest after a hard day of spear fishing.
Thank you so much Mario, Eng, Mang, Putu, Ahmad for making this trip a trip of a lifetime.
Will be back again soon my friends!

I was in Bali for 10 days and visited a bunch of different places and had a whole heap of fun. This was the highlight! Mario is a very cool dude, really knows his stuff, and he made sure that everyone had an awesome time. Our group was split into 2 across 2 days so that each group could get the most out of it. We speared around Nusa Penida and saw mantarays and all sorts of tropical fish and both the underwater and island scenery was magnificent! We came back with a good haul and Mario and Brooke cooked it up for us and our friends (about 17 people) on a beautiful beach in Sanur. We had the best sahimi I've ever tasted and perfect fresh cooked fish plus some cold beers. As a bonus for us we had a lunar eclipse at the same time!
Definitely recommend Mario spearfishing in Bali (I think he also does surfing tours, so he's got you covered). Do yourself a favour (even if you're an amateur spearo like me) and set aside a day for this.

We spent 2 days out on the boat with Mario and it was the absolute highlight of our holiday. We spent the first day spearfishing with some of our friends (a couple) near Nusa Penida and the second day was just me and my husband off Padang Bai. Both of the trips were exceptional, all due to the amazing hospitality of Mario and Brooke.
After our first day out Mario took us to a friend's restaurant where our catch of the day was cooked to perfection and we enjoyed the most delicious meal of Maori sea perch, snapper and lobster with beers on the beach. On day two, Mario managed to catch a dog tooth tuna which we all ate sashimi style when we were back on land.
Mario's knowledge of the local area really made the trip and he was also able to accommodate the girls who didn't spearfish but enjoyed snorkelling off the boat.
Not only did Mario show us an amazing time out on the water and the best meals of our holiday, but Brooke and Mario also gave us great advice about the best places to eat in Sanur and helped us getting around. We're already planning our trip back which we hope will be a longer one so that we also get a chance to hit Brooke up and head over to Gili island for couple of nights.

Coming from New Jersey, USA, my husband and I were not sure what we wanted to see/do on our honeymoon on Bali. A few days before we left, I contacted Mario thru Facebook and requested information on Bali Spearfishing. Mario promptly replied and we booked a snorkeling and spearfishing trip.
He treated us like family from the moment we greeted each other, worked so hard to make sure we enjoyed our honeymoon to the fullest, and is just an amazing host. He works so hard to make sure that everyone is having a great time. We went on the Manta trip and on a day with unusually rough water, where other boat tours weren't seeing the Mantas, Mario made sure to bring us to a calm bay where the guests got to swim with the giant Manta Rays. To top it off, he speared some fish at lunch time and cooked for us all on the beach while we had many laughs, a few cocktails, and made memories that we will surely never forget.
My husband and I are planing on returning to Bali this fall and will definitely be booking with Mario.

Three of us all beginners at spearfishing, but Mario and crew made sure we were well looked after both in an out of the water. Fast and spacious boat made getting kitted up a breeze, and all the necessary equipment at our disposal -- various spearguns, floats, fins, wetsuits, masks/snorkels -- from the outset I knew we were in good hands. Most importantly, Mario knows where to get those fish and especially for us beginners, to guide us to the right spots and give the right directions. To top it off he's just the most fun and genuine guy you could hope to meet, I'll definitely be back for seconds!

What an experience. Wow, wow, wow. The boat was excellent, the guide, Mario was brilliant, his knowledge of the area is nothing short of amazing. His attention to his guests went beyond what we would ever have expected, he even dove down and caught our lunch! Swimming with the manta rays was the most awesome experience. Thank you guys

We had an awesome day on the water with Mario as he taught us some new skills to help improve our spearfishing as well as being able to provide the fish!! He was super inviting and provided lunch. It was the "one percenters" that made the day great!
