I'm back and spend few days of my holiday by seeking answers and just want to share it;

I did not found anyone who rents spearguns in south-east part of island. In fact ewery answers I got was that it is illegal for tourist to do spearfishing but in same time they tried (not all of them) to sell spearfishing trips ( including suit, gun, car / boat trips and "permissions" ) to me.

Next one is checked from net, Cyprus tourist guide A-Z and local authorities; it is allowed to do spearfishing by freediving in daytime in "free" areas (means; no swimming areas, harbours etc.) without any permissions. When I told that to these "it is illegal to tourists"- people, the answer was that it is wrong information and I need to buy their trip.

Now, should we "own" our logal waters and collect money by cheating some our fellow spearhunters? That sounds pretty fair to me

Well, water was pretty cold but under water life was nice and rich in areas where you could be all alone. Next time I will travel with all my gear set and any "businesman" can come and ask for "permissions"
