2.5 Day Offshore Island Excursion

Step aboard Escapade for a 2.5-day offshore freediving and spearfishing expedition to San Clemente Island — one of Southern California’s most iconic and consistently productive dive destinations.

This trip delivers two full days of diving and hunting, with overnight offshore time that lets you settle into the rhythm of island life: early drops, long sessions in the water, and evenings anchored off remote coastlines.

With two licensed captains aboard, Escapade can run efficiently and safely offshore, maximizing time on location and allowing the crew to stay flexible as conditions change.

This is an immersive experience — not a rushed day trip — built for divers who want to explore, improve naturally through repetition, and experience what multi-day offshore spearfishing is really like.

Destination: San Clemente Island

San Clemente offers some of the best freediving and spearfishing in Southern California:

Clear water and expansive kelp forests

Reef lines, drop-offs, and offshore structure

Consistent fish life and varied dive profiles

Dive sites are selected based on weather, swell, visibility, and group experience to deliver the best possible sessions each day.

Supported by a professional, well trained, and fun crew

You’ll be backed by a 3-person professional crew, many of whom are experienced freedivers and spearfishing instructors:

2 Captains managing navigation, anchoring, and offshore operations

Deckhand who also serves as an in-water safety diver during dive operations

This level of experience creates smooth logistics, strong safety margins, and efficient dive rotations — allowing divers to relax, focus on their dives, and fully enjoy the experience.

For more seasoned hunters, the crew can target deeper structure and faster-paced drops when conditions allow. For intermediate divers, the trip offers time to explore, build comfort offshore, and dial in technique through multiple days in the water.

Same trip. Same access. The pace adapts to the group.
