Spearfishing Regs
Hello South Pacific Spearos!
I will be visiting the S Pacific this summer (your winter) and would like to know where I can find spearfishing regs for New Zealand and elsewhere in the Indopacific. I found Australia's quite easily, but have not been able to find the others. Is spearfishing on scuba permitted anywhere? I enjoy free-diving spearfishing in shallower water but I also enjoy spearfishing with a tank in deeper water ( 20 meters and deeper). Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Try this:
http://www.fish.govt.nz/en-nz/Recreational/default.htm Scuba spearing is allowed in NZ, but it is fairly frowned upon and most people won't take scuba spearos out on their own boats. However a scuba spearo's dollar is worth the same as a freediving spearo's so charter boats will be all sweet with it. |

We don't actually get them in NZ, I got that in Tonga.
