Free Cressi Freediver Fins (Brand New)

[Adiel Davidesco]

Hi,

I used to live near San Diego wehere I have done a lot of free diving and spear fishing.

I now live in Toronto, Canada. There is no free diving here and spear guns are illegal in Canada.

Just before I left San Diego I bought a pair of Cressi Gara 2000 Free Diving Fins, size 13. Because I moved, I never had a chance to use them. They are brand new and I would like to give them to whoever wants them. I do not want any money for them, but am not willing to also pay for the delivery. So if you know someone in Toronto who may pick them up for you or you are prepared to pay for the shipping fee yourself, I will be glad to send them to you. For more details you may contact me directly:

Your offer is generous and someone will certainly give you a shout.
But while we're at it, are you sure about spearguns being illegal? There are many canadian spearos on this forum, either from coastal ocean regions and great lakes, and they do carry spearguns...

Regarding the question about are spearguns illegal in Canada, I am not a lawyer and have never checked it out properly. I was told that by some friends who live here when i thought I may try some summertime spearfishing in the lakes here.

I still have a nice speargun and hope that maybe it is leagl. If so, let me know. THANKS

PS - I will also make it a point to call the local police to find out for real.

Toronto has a pretty active freediving community from what I understand- having dove with at least one of their members in the past. Here's their website: Freedive Toronto - dedicated to the development of Freediving in Toronto and Southern Ontario

There is a lot of really nice diving very close to there. Tobermorey is one of my favorite places to dive, free and scuba, and it's not a very far drive from there- at least it's closer than Wisconsin.

I would hold onto your gear, even your speargun, as I bet there's more opportunities to dive than you realize.

Thanks but I am essentially aan underwater hunter so I will only do it in the ocean and there isn't any near Toronto.

Spearfishing is illegal in Ontario- a ridiculous law. In the rest of Canada (west of you anyway) it is legal, in varying degrees. In Saskatchewan for example, a spearo can take the same as any angler.
To the south of you are some very active American freshwater spearos, and there are some champion spearos in Quebec!
Cheers, whatever you do.

erik, how about the bay of fundy in the south east...new brunswick, any good action there around saint john ?

[Erik]

I've never been there siddiqi, but it is apparently great diving. I've never even spoken to a spearo who's hunted out there! It's a loooong way from here though.

cheers Erik, i looked it up on google, they said that many sharks frequent the bay including tigers and GWS...

Hi Erik,

Thank you for letting me know that spear fishing is illegal only in Ontario.
Living in Toronto makes it hard to take a spear gun even on holidays down south because it is a hassle when you return. FYI - I am going to the Bahamas tomorrow for a few days but am not taking my spear gun.

Warm regards,

Adi
