Hi people,
Looking for people who are interested in hooking up a spearfishing trip sometime soon. I've been diving in the waters off dubai's shores for about 5 years now. Unfortunately, have only managed to get to places that are about 10 m deep at most and so have not yet experienced fishing in open water. Mostly go off the Dubai Dry Docks, Port Rashid, Jebel Ali, The Palm etc. Biggest fish shot was a 15 kg Hamour just getting onto the Palm Jumeirah. Other wise usually nail groupers that are about 5 kgs. Some snapper, Sweet lips, Barracuda etc. Nothing major but would like to try some new areas. Haven't been much to the east coast but i would assume its much better there. Plus, the vis around the Palm and off dubai's coast is pretty bad! Any advice? |

Do you own a boat? I know lots of spearos in Dubai who are always keen to go out on a trip.

Hi Sara,
Just been chatting to Ali..eh...yeah thats the issue. I don't own a boat. If i did i would love to srot out a trip and take people etc. I usually swim out to the Palm Jumeirah or swim off the jebel ali hotel to reef's etc in that area and have to make do with water depths of 6-10 m if that. i just sent you a mail. I can manage to hold my breath for about 1.15 mins but thats pretty crap. Its good enough for the depth we are at though. I don't spear fish with weight belts etc but i will start doing so. At this depth its not needed but i would love to do something deeper. |

A friend has a boat and its constantly in the work shop or there is something wrong at some point. Only managed to take it out a few times and that too was for conventional fishing trips.
I'm looking into buying myself a 4 m inflatable boat/dingy with a small 15-20 bhp engine. It's not too much but will do the job. Possibly by next year. |

Mate,
I started this thread as we are planning a large spearfishing/freediving trip next Spring. You are welcome to join us, when I get prices and plans together I will let you know. Safe spearing, and always with a buddy I hope. Cheers Sara |

You... %^$# of course i didn't find your mask as it's not with me. Take another look. I will look at walts place as he has a small dive bag. Will check today and call and let you know. I am not polishing anything as of yet. But if you feel the need to go ahead and polish your teeth and other parts ie. YOU KNOW WHAT...then please feel free and don't let my lack of polishing get in the way of your enjoyment!
speak soon |

Hey Oz75
I'm also considering buying a RIB or Zodiac style inflatable for pretty much the same purposes as you - inshore fishing/spearing. I've never speared b4, but dived for several years and fished since I was a kid. I live in Al Barsha. I'm just about to start shorefishing now it's cooling down, so if you wanna meet up some time, give us a shout. Best Mudaris |
