Los Angeles. We in California would boast that our white sharks are as big as any. But I wouldn't underestimate the tigers in Hawaii OahuNSfreediver. At least whites spit you out most of the time.

maltas great seas always warm great dive sites clear seas great visability.spear fishing isnt bad but its not great.i think the med is way over fished. and the fish around mal;ta are very afraid of divers.i dont blame them getting spears shot at them all the time.to have a good day spearing you have to look for realy remote places to fish in malta.but if your a good aspetto spear fisherman you got it made.NO ASPETTO NO FISH.simple as that.and also big palagics tend to stay very far from shore but ocasionly if you know where to fish you can catch some nice amberjacks.if any of you are in malta look me up and we'll do some serious spearfishing
just let me know when your coming johnmicallef@shadow.net.mt

As I'm much more prone to shooting things with a camera, I rarely feel much at risk to predation by the apex fishies (Tiger sharks). The biggest risk to me seems to be SWBO when I push myself solo through some of the longer caves. (longest take 2+ minutes dynamic) I recently saw the biggest moray (10 in/25.4 cm diameter) I've ever seen in a pitch black cavern that connects some of my favorite haunts, I don't know which of us was more shocked when my light beam lit up it's face weaving through the bait ball of seasonal papios hiding in the cave (rarely see stuff as cool when I'm toting a camera).
Of course, if my friend John sells me his Kayak and an arbalette, I may place myself into a higher profile slot of the food chain for the payoff of fresh Uhu, Ulua, or pelagic food. In thirteen years locally, the only large tiger (14' or about 4.66 M) that I've ever seen was hauled up on the docks by a local fisherman after a boogie boarder got munched in the nineties. It certainly did have an impressive bite radius, and yea I have read accounts in which they don't exactly bite and release, but I'm still probably at many orders of magnitude greater risk driving to the spot.

Wow, and people call me crazy for swimming through the caverns in Georgian Bay! The longest underwater portion I've found is probably less than 60 feet! A very easy 30 second swim max... Yes I'd definatly say you're in more danger in the caves than from the sharks, but hey, as long as you're not dragging me down there...

Hi Aaron, Yea It's my favorite summertime relaxation to cruise around the caves at shark's cove, and take pictures of the marine life within the sanctuary. Drop me a line if you're ever over here when it's flat, I'd be glad to show you some excellent 30-45 second routes that are technically fun. Sadly for the freedivers, the first swells of this years season are starting up, supposed to be 15'+(4-5m) by wednesday.

Wow sounds great! If I do get there when its flat, I'll drop you a line! But with waves like that... I enjoy roughwater swimming when I'm at the coast, but biggest I've seen is about 12'! But the water here really never gets very big. When it gets over 4' or so, I start my dives from inside the caverns when I can, alot more sheltered in there. Haven't been beat on the rocks yet....
I'll try to get some pics on here when I can.Thanks for the reply, so neat to hear where everyone else is diving. Aaron |

Hi,
I'm from Turkey, I would recommend our shores to anyone who is interested in serious spearfishing. Although fish are scared too much, aspetto rocks in our waters |
