Re: Solo

Hi dude, welcome to db.
What exactly are you planning to do in the water? Spearfish, free dive, tank dive?

Re: Solo

OK then you might want to say hello here - http://forums.deeperblue.net/cornwal...tml#post688445
It is a little quiet on the thread at the moment but will soon liven up!
Are you an art student?

Re: Solo

O sorry I thought Falmouth had a art collage & you mentioned collage mates?
Anyhow to answer your question - Yes a lot of us prefer to spearfish on our own, mainly because you catch more fish this way! However I cant recommend that you do this without at least knowing more about you or exactly what you intend to do on your own?

Re: Solo

Foxy is right mate, I spent the first year only diving with a couple of mates and they where the ones that I knew I could trust if it all went tits up.
If you’re only just starting out try to find a buddy to go with even if you have to travel out of your area a bit to do it.
Good luck and welcome to the underwater world.

Re: Solo

hey gonesurfing 199, welcome to db,
i usually spearfish on my own but sometimes go with a buddy, and i find it helps when it comes to catching fish less people to scare the fish off the better. i find i catch more fish when i am on my own.
if you have never done spearfishing before then i would say definatly find someone to go with for a bit at least untill you work out your main hunting grounds, tides, currents and stuff,
have fun and welcome to db

Re: Solo

Hi there. I fish the Falmouth area quite a bit.I nearly always fish alone due to the fact that i have 2 buddies that join me but due to family/other commitments we rarely get together.If you need any advice just PM me.
