Spearfactor #84: Ian Higgins, Vision Expeditions

from SpearFactor Spearfishing Podcast Hosted by Bret Whitman

In this episode, I sit down with Ian Higgins, captain of the Vision dive boat from Vision Expeditions, to talk about what it takes to dive and operate a charter boat along the Southern California coast. We dive into everything from spearfishing and diving the Channel Islands to the realities of running a professional dive charter in California. Ian shares his experience on the water, what makes the Channel Islands such a unique diving destination, and the challenges and rewards that come with putting divers on the right piece of ocean. We also talk about the conditions, logistics, boat operations, memorable dives, and what it really takes to make a successful day on the water in Southern California.
