Bill,
I've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for diving for bugs and carrying a speargun with a flopper. Have you? I've asked a warden and he said as long as the bugs don't have holes in them when you come back, you're good. But I have also heard conflicting reports from other divers. I went on a liveaboard trip to the northern islands on the truth and they made a big announcement that we were not allowed to bring spears while diving for bugs. Most of the divers politely told them to shove it and brought their polespears along anyway. I think the boat was just covering their ass because they didn't want people spearing bugs and maybe someone had done that on a previous trip.
