This shop is top notch. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I've been to a handful of other spear fishing shops and the customer service and all around experience here is unbeatable. Ask for Cristina she was great! read more

Incredibly impressed with Blue Tuna. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and they share their knowledge without being in a hurry or making you feel like an inconvenience. Every product I've purchased to date has been fantastic. Their Reef 3D wetsuit is phenomenal, warm, stretchy and a fantastic value. I'll continue to spend my money here. read more

Blue Tuna Spearfishing - Greenling speared in the Northwest - Dive Shops Near Me - Ventura, California

I enjoy the gear and everything they have but the two stars is for the suit slime. It had spilt in the bed of my truck, didnt discover it spilt until the next day and it had actually ate through the bed liner of my truck bed and bubbled where it spilt. Edit: Im aware that suit slime is not meant for my truck bed, I am not conditioning the bed of my truck, it is where my gear is stored to and from the ocean. The concern is something i put on my skin is eating through a truck bed liner. read more

Every time I go in, I'm greeted with a smile and usually by name, it's been lovely getting to know the staff. They have been awesome at providing information, tips, education on the various selections of equipment for a great value and high quality. I'm a newbie at Spearfishing but it's been amazing being able to go local and be slowly integrate myself into the unique community. The Crew at Blue Tuna have made it all the more fun! read more

Very disappointed. held my order for three days with no update, then called me to ask for extra insurance payment otherwise the package may get lost or damaged. After phone communication today, the store promised to ship immediately but cancelled my order instead!! Scam. Be aware of!! read more

Looking for a snorkel mask for future trip. If you are into diving/spearfishing, etc. they seem to have good inventory. They had several types of masks with a range of prices but I could not find a good fit for my face, not their fault. One mask approached what I need but I also would need to order prescription for it so fit had to be perfect for that investment. Very helpful staff. read more

I am impressed with the professionalism, expertise, and honesty of the staff. Not only was Leda, my representative, knowledgeable and patient, but she did not hesitate to ask and defer to other staff members who were more familiar with a certain product. In addition their prices are excellent. At no time did I feel pressured into buying anything. I am highly pleased and satisfied in my spearfishing investment there, and I will definitely continue to do business and refer this establishment to friends. read more

SO SO SO GREAT!! We walked in to grab a gift certificate and little gift for our son knowing 0.0 about spearfishing. I wish I knew the name of the girl who helped us because she was an absolute ray of beaming sunshine. She went way above and beyond to help us -- even to the point of looking up his past purchases to get an idea of what he might want. She was so knowledgeable and passionate. Now we know why our son will drive out of his way to shop here. He LOVED his new changing robe and can't wait to head back with his gift certificate in hand. :) It's a special place. read more

This place is great! Diego helped us out and he was great. He was very informative and more than willing to spend extra time with us! So excited to begin my spear fishing journey! read more

I needed a mask, snorkel, and fins for a future trip to the Big Island. I didn't. want to shop for junk at a sporting goods store. I wanted gear that was a step up in quality and I found that at "Blue Tuna". Matt was personal and very helpful fitting me with a mask and fins. If you're in the Ventura area this is THE place to shop. read more

I had never been Spearfishing before going in here. When I got in there, Mat immediately started helping me, very helpful and knowledgeable on the topic, answered all the questions I had. I definitely recommend this place to a anyone who wants to start Spearfishing!!! read more

Man this place is awesome. Matt knows his stuff! Great guys in here that are incredibly helpful. They will set you up with what you need, without trying to upsell you a bunch of junk. Will definitely be back whenever I need something. read more

Super stoked. I wanted a spear gun and Matt put together the PERFECT gun for me. When I went to pick up he gave me instructions on use and let me video him to insure I could rewatch as needed. He even made sure I could string the bands and adjusted the length to fit me perfectly! read more

extremely grateful every person in store was wonderful and helpful. brought in my four children and they graciously helped us for hours. thank you! read more

Matt at Blue Tuna Spearfishing was very helpful and knowledgable! The customer service here is unmatched, will definitely be coming back. Plus the prices are best i've seen! read more

The people here are knowledgeable and friendly. I live in Goleta and have been driving down here the last few years for all of my Freediving/Spearfishing products. I recently met Matt (owner) and Diego (sales) . The extra money I spend on fuel is nothing compared to the money I save on equipment. I bought a Rob Allen floatline in Santa Barbara a few years back for $70 not knowing about Blue Tuna. A month later I dropped by Blue Tuna and they had the same floatline on the shelf for $20! read more

Matt went above and beyond to help me with my purchase. Made a lifelong customer out of me because he treated me like a person and not just another sale or number. read more

Matt and the crew at Blue Tuna are super helpful! Doesn't matter if you are a long time spearfisherman or brand new they care and it shows. Would recommend their place to everyone read more

Great company! Great staff! Great Gear! Can't recommend them highly enough They got me set up and started! read more

Nice guys very helpful and knowledgeable, Just bought all new gear from them. Thanks guys!! read more

This is a great store!!! Customer service is beyond excellent. The owner Matt and Mason love spearfishing and can answer any question that you may have. I have bought stuff here and they have fixed stuff for me too. Highly recommend if you are a beginner looking for info or a seasoned diver looking to talk story and buy some new tech stuff. Prices seem to fair. They sell a range of gear from entry level (cheaper) to full custom as well as all the parts and stuff that you need to build or repair stuff on your own. Love this place!!! read more

I've seen this on two different boards. "Yesterday I was running a spearfishing charter out of SD. It was the usual great day in August out there. Until somewhere between the 182, 43/Corner we came up on a nice looking paddy. wide open, no boats around, except for 1 that was in visual range, but not even sort of close to this paddy. As my shooters are getting ready to jump in, all of a sudden this boat full of Kooks speeds up as if they're racing us to the paddy! Keep in mind, at this point I am NOT underway, but literally sitting about 20-30 yards off the paddy with divers putting on their gear and about to jump in. I proceed to watch these idiots pull right up to the paddy, race to gear up and jump in the water, sprinting to it before our guys had a chance. I tried hailing these kooks on the radio & had some choice words to shout over at them, but no surprise it went un-answered until their 2 goons spent all of about 30 seconds sprinting to the paddy and then getting back in the boat and speed off. So here it is... You kooks are being called out! The boat's name is Three Don's. There was a large Blue Tuna Spearfishing sticker on the side... and here's a pic of the boat as they speed away. You goons give anyone who spends time on the ocean a bad name. May the fish gods frown upon you. Learn some manners. Having this happen from a boat of Spearo's made it extra-disappointing." Great job guys. Way to spread the cheer. read more

My husband just bought a dive suit here. Good prices and service . He will be back for more supplies. read more

When you walk into BTS you instantly feel welcomed. Being new to the sport, I had what seemed like an endless number of questions. Matt and Mason happily introduced me to the sport and with their wealth of knowledge answered all of my gear questions. The prices here are great and you can purchase with confidence knowing that blue tuna stands behind the products they sell. read more

Mason is the guys to see. He will get you set up and he will make sure you are satisfied. Definitely a professional establishment here! I am a beginner and he was patient with me and explained everything I needed to know. I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. read more

Amazing hidden gem. Super new to the diving game and they were beyond helpful and friendly. Their staff member Calli was so sweet and knowledgeable worth the trip from SB to come out here for quality products and service. Can't wait to come back! read more

I have bought a bunch of stuff from Matt, anywhere from wet suits to a big roller gun, and Matt is not only a good guy, but he stands behind his products and service. That's getting to be a rare thing these days. Prices are at least competitive, and the new wet suit I just bought was a real bargain - and a groovy blue color too (very important for us old guys who aren't as photogenic as we once were)! read more

the worst ever experience with a spearfishing busines, I orded a roller converting kit from them, it consisted of 8 items and to my surprise from those 8 items just got 1, I mean... missing 1 out of 8 I can understand but no missing 7 out of 8..!!! I'm a very patient person so emails went back an forth for two weeks....!!! Just to solve a single problem and this because they said they didn't have the version of what I had order but now they have a new version and sent me a picture of it and I said it looks very similar, send me those and guess what...!!!!! they did it again..!!!! 2 ítems missing..!!!! Well if you want to be positive you can say at least this time it's missing just two items and not almost the whole kit..!!! so that is an improvement So finally they ruined my intention to go on my next fishing trip with a inverted roller speargun, I placed the order a month and a half before my trip and this where I'm now Unbelievable..!!!!!! read more

First time wanting to try freedive spearfishing... Matt happily answered every question I had on the phone. They have everything you need online and in person to get started freediving in California. FYI, their prices cannot be beat. Best in the state IMO. read more

Blue Tuna has an amazing selection of products at very competitive prices. Customer service is on point with any and all needs!

Matt is an outstanding individual. He's helped with all my spearfishing gear thru out the years. The shop has all your needs to get started with free diving/spearfishing whether your a beginner or a veteran. read more

I'm a complete noob to the sport and these guys were super helpful in helping me get started up. They answered any questions I had and explained everything I needed to know. Highly recommend this place to anyone interested in getting into the sport! read more

this place is amazing.. got set up with a nose to toes new free dive kit.. matt couldn't have been nicer and knowledgeable about what i wanted and needed.. great pricing and understanding!!!!! read more

Anyone can open a shop, whether it be surfing, diving, spearfishing. What makes a shop really stand out is the owner and the attitude of the shop. I've been into so many surf and dive shops where if you're you're not a local, or you're new to the sport, or you didn't just walk right out of a Billabong ad, you really don't get a lot of attention unless you ask for it. This shop is run by a guy named Matt, who is probably the nicest person I have ever met. He will do whats right, not whats right for his pocket. If you're a brand-new-interested-but-total-newbie like me, or you're an experienced spearfisherman like my husband and many of his clients worldwide, he treats you like a friend, with respect, values, and honesty. On top of that, he has great inventory, can set you up completely and give you great opinions on everything you want to know about spearfishing. He also has the most STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL guns I've ever seen that make you want to hang it above your couch in your living room, and sells all this quality at a great price. This guy epitomizes what the heart of Ventura stands for - down home, honest, and friendly, and is just doing things right. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any of your spearfishing needs. I wish more shops of any business were run the way he runs his. read more

Matt is an awesome dude. Super knowledgeable and helpful. I am new to the sport and he really helped me out. His prices are great and his store is very cool and well set up. Not getting gear from anywhere else. read more

Matt is simply awesome! Knowledgable, helpful, great gear and prices... If you need spearfishing gear this is the place! read more

Hands down the best dive shop I have shopped at. I bought my gun, wetsuit, fins mask and snorkel and many other accessories for my gun and my spear diving adventures here. Matt is very knowledgeable and very helpful. This shop is out of the way for me but it is totally worth the drive. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking to get into the sport at any level. This shop is one of the best !!!! read more
