    Inspired by Amphibian, our name reflects our passion for the connection to the land, sea and air

  • Yes, I make my own spears — it’s one of my favourite things to do.

    I usually use cottonwood or bamboo for the shaft. Cottonwood is lightweight and easy to work with, while bamboo is naturally strong and flexible. I secure everything with marine-grade glue and heavy builder’s string to make sure it holds up in the water.

    For the prong, I use whatever I have on hand — often rebar shaped and sharpened, or a spare spear shaft. It’s all about keeping it practical and durable.

    If you’d like to see how it’s done, check out the Handspearing page or our YouTube channel for a full step-by-step guide on making your own hand spear.

  • Right now, we’re splitting our time between Far North Queensland, Australia, and Aore Island in the Vanuatu chain — two incredible places we’re lucky to call home.

    Our long-term dream is to settle permanently in Vanuatu. We’re currently building our own house there and laying the groundwork to start running island tours in the future — so there are some exciting things ahead.

    If you’d like to follow the journey, head over to our YouTube channel for weekly updates on the build and a behind-the-scenes look at island life.

  • Yes, we did! After many hours of sketching and refining ideas, we came up with the original design featuring the crayfish and seagull. It took a lot of trial and error to get it just right.

    More recently, we designed our newest logo showcasing the crocodile and barramundi — another design that reflects what we’re all about and where our adventures take us.
