questions about Spearfishing in NZ
I am aware there is a thread similar to this, but I felt it would be better for what I am going to address to start a new one. I am new to spearfishing and this forum, am a Texan in NZ right now and have lots of questions regarding spearfishing. Ive got most of the gear already, I just am completely new to the whole thing, so dont laugh at my questions lol.
Is it safe and ok to dive alone? Where are good spots for going from the shore in NZ? Are shark encounters common in NZ? (south island is where I am right now). How many other people on this forum have spearfished in NZ? Is it smarter to go with other people? Thats about all I can think of right now, will post any other questions I think of, I am in Blenheim working right now, here in a working holiday visa, will be in NZ until the summer here ends at least.any advice/answers will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Gabriel |

Re: questions about Spearfishing in NZ
im from blenheim NZ and would recommend using this forum http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums...z_forum11.html
lots of helpful people here who will probably take you out, you wont see any sharks in this part of the country and is lots of good shorediving places around here. diving alone is fine i wouldnt worry about it as no sharks and most places are shallow in the south island so you wont need a buddy |

Hi G.T if you make it up to the Bay of Islands let me know and will get you sorted with a dive if you are keen.
