Join the Experience
Live action!
Adrenaline and madness in the same frame
Spearfishing
is a silent dance between humans and the sea.
the fisherman dives without nets or engines, relying only on breath, vision and patience.
Underwater the world shifts its rhythm;
Sounds Fade
The movements goes slow
and
every gesture matters.
Let's do it differently
Like our ancestors did:
Face to Face with the prey, with all our senses awakened and the heart pounding in the chest.
Every second demands total alertness, the body tense, the mind clear, and adrenaline building up, ready to explode at the decisive moment.
Here there is no distance and no distraction, only instinct, held breath, and a direct encounter between the hunter and the sea.
POPPING
&
JIGGING
After diving and feeling the pulse of the ocean, take a breath.
The day doesn’t end there:
we shift gears and move into Popping and Jigging.
Two disciplines, one day, one complete experience.
THE MONKEY BUSINESS

it was made to carry your day's catch in its spacious coolers.
It's also equipped with all-new Garmin electronics.
and it have a room everywhere.

“Growing up diving in Miami and the Bahamas I thought I had experienced the best diving has to offer but boy was I wrong. The experience I had diving with Rulo and the team at Buena Vista Lodge was second to none.
Being a first time blue water diver the sheer amount of opportunities I had to shoot world class fish was something I never could have imagined. The service at the lodge is also extraordinary, from first class lodging to meals and drinks I couldn’t ask for more.
If you’re debating the trip of a lifetime DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!”
- Robbie Everhard -
“Another trip of a lifetime… I’ve done three trips this past year with arrive & dive and every one has been spectacular. Raul is the best guide I’ve had the chance of diving with. Captain Lan and mates were awesome and hardworking. The accommodations were great and food and drinks were top notch.
We put plenty of fish on the boat and a handful of yellowfins over 200lbs with the biggest weighing 252lbs. A real first class operation that will have you coming back for years to come.”
- Cameron Coleman -
“This is my second trip with Rulo and arrive n Dive. I have shot the biggest fish of my life 4 times diving with him. Rulo knows how to put you on the fish and to have you ready when you see them.
I have learned more in 6 days of diving with him than in the previous 5 years I’ve been diving. He looks at diving in a different way than the rest of them. Accommodations were amazing. They treated us like kings, worth every penny.”

“Been wanting to spear a healthy Yellow Fin for years. When Raul finally started his own guiding I knew it was go time. On day 1, Raul called me “Wyatt Earp” because I had no patience. With his insight on day 3 Raul called me “Dalai Lama” as 150# fish swam by within reach, until my 200# class came in.
Great experience, planning next trip. Would highly recommend.”
- Wyatt -
“Raul was world class with being on top of all the gear he went above and beyond to make sure every knot and every crimp was solid and all gear was maintained to perfection.
I first hand watched him stay up all night rigging all the guns from the end of the bouy to the tip of the speargun was rigged to perfection zero room for error and when it comes to being in the meat it’s overwhelming the amount of fish from sizes 30lbs to 300lbs.
the lodging was top notch great breakfast before departure and a great dinner to with the end of the day nice clean bed and washed clothes dirty clothes didn’t have to do anything besides enjoy the trip and shoot fish.”
- Nico Zelaya -
“If you want to shoot big yellowfin tuna, arrive and dive should be the only call you make. Raul and the rest of the people at the lodge are absolute professionals and will ensure you not only get your fish of a life time, but also have an incredible time. Raul is one of the best divers in the world and most importantly he is a real fish head.
Few people understand the tides, moons, seasons and general fish behavior like he does. Jody and everyone at the lodge will make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible, from the delicious food, to being greeted with drinks at the dock to celebrate your incredible day, they really do think of everything. We went with a 5 person group and all 5 of us shot our personal best tuna!
We saw whales, marlins, sailfish and most importantly thousands of yellowfin tunas. Most epic trip of our lives….. if you are already thinking about booking, stop thinking and book your flight, you will not regret it!”

Raul is a legend. He has the tunas dialed in and put us on the big ones. When I showed up he was a guide and when I left he was a friend.

“ A charter with the world’s greatest waterman, Curitiba’s own Raul Boesel Jr., was the trip of a lifetime to say the least. Being guided by a world class photographer AND possibly the most seasoned XXL yellowfin expert was a surreal experience as a spear fisherman. I had been in California for bluefin tuna on two separate trips, but nothing prepared me for the experience, the fishery and the opportunities on countless fish of a lifetime.
I was able to land my triple digit dream fish after coaching and strategy from Raul and have a yearly plan to go back to the magical Guatemalan coast. We swam amongst Minke whales, schools of thousands of spinner dolphins, pacific bottle nose, some friendly sharks and the occasional sea-marmot.
This place is so ridiculous that we snorkeled with marlin and sailfish and shot 40lb Mahi as an afterthought. Thank you Raul, you’re the best.”
- James Atkinson -
“Raul is an absolute legend. He put us on some prehistoric yellowfin tuna that looked like underwater buffalo—massive, intimidating, and unforgettable. This wasn’t luck; Raul knows these waters and times things perfectly. Every drop felt dialed in, safe, and epic.
Trip of a lifetime and a true core memory. If you want giant fish and an unforgettable spearfishing experience in Guatemala, book Raul. Everything else will feel small after this”
