Born in the UK back in 1977 Tony Eynon has been spearfishing here and abroad for over a decade.
Background to present:
Disheartened after sea angling for 10 days and not getting a single bite he went of to purchase some snorkelling gear to see if he could actually find any life down there under the waves.ย The shop had a speargun over the counter like a Wild West style saloon.ย After discovering he didn’t need a license to buy the gun, he made the purchase and set off to seek his sub-aquatic fortune.ย After tagging two 2 great fish on his first dive, he was ‘hooked’ unlike all the fish he never caught with a rod and line.
10 years on and he has spearfished in many beautiful locations around the world, fended off tiger sharks amongst others and broke a couple of nice world records, some claimed some eaten.ย One was for the Atlantic sail fish.ย A 128lb monster battled out from the depths of the remote oceans of Ascension, a military run Island in the middle nowhere.ย However this record was only realised once it was filleted on the BBQ – doh! : )
Outside of spearfishing he is the CEO of a significant education based company which has also allowed him to invest into the sport, to both raise its popularity in the UK and to import great spearfishing gear.
He is now the sole UK distributor for several of the leading global spearfishing brands.ย He arranges some the most exciting spearfishing holidays out there and offers courses, both personally and through a network of his instructors.
