Best place for spearfishing in the Pacific ?

Hey everybody,

I'm planning a trip to go spearfishing in the Pacific Islands for 4 months. The trip is part of a documentary I'm filming on spearfisherman.

Where is the best place to go to find local spearfishers? I was thinking Tonga or Samoa... Also, what time of the year would be best?

Thanks!

French Polynesia is an obvious answer..

here you ll find professional spearfishermen in different islands or atolls..spearing every day and selling their catches.

very best time here is usually oct/nov/dec/jan/feb/march

in case PM me we ll be happy to help you over here .

New Caledonia have some awesome divers too. Diving with them and the Tahitians is a bit of an eye opener. Great technique, and simple gear.
