Tails, I don't know of anyone specifically in Playa, but there is a guy who runs a spearfishing guide business in Cozumel; his name is Leo and I've read good things from his customers. Cozumel is an easy ferry ride from Playa, and I think the fishing would probably be better from there. If you want even better conditions, think about coming to Isla Mujeres for the day. It's about an hour north of Playa, just a 20 minute ferry ride from Cancun. We have better fishing than any of those places because of our proximity to the Gulf of Mexico - my buddy and I speared 600 lbs two days ago. There are also numerous IUSA world records from our waters. If you want more info, e-mail me at
