Question Spearfishing in Dom Rep

Does anyone know what the score is with spearfishing in the Dominican Republic? First, is it legal? And what fish to look out for and where?

You can spearfish there, and I don't know if there are any rules concerning species and sizes.

I dove the Sosua area, and it wasn't very fishy.

80 km south of Santo Domingo is Salinas. Try some this numbers and see if a fisherman could take you and how much will charge you:

Re: Spearfishing in Dom Rep

What is September/October like in DR? If there are 10-12 freedivers/bluewater hunters willing to pay $2500 each for 10 days down there and and off the Silver Bank - east of the Turks - I could be available for a charter/expedition in September. Is there any interest out there? Could work out of Santa Barbara de Samana. B.

Re: Spearfishing in Dom Rep

Hi Blumon, I donīt know about Samana, but is in the same side of the island as Puerto Plata and the tuna season is very good and not far away of shore (so you will be near Cabarete, Sosua, Puerto Plata) . At this moment I donīt have at hand the contact information of a fisherman that can give you information about FADs but can contact you with a friend, Garet Kopeschny, garetd19@hotmail.com , that also practice Bluewater (knows the fisherman)and must be one of the best divers there.
By the way, I am looking for a job in a sailboat, so if you need a diver, sailor, cheff, or whatever I can send you my resume and be ready to be in the water in a couple of months, Huiiija !!! :-)
Here is some info of me and Salinas

Beside the good tuna time, I remember that in Salinas november was the season of marlins ...
