Hi
I'm new to Spearfishing and am interedted in finding good places to hunt. However without getting into the water with decent visibility I cannot find the reefs / rocks where the fish will live. :head
I could go to a beach and find nothing but a barren sandy wasteland, BUT if I had continued to swim out a further xx metres I may find a lovely reef!
This is a massive stab in the dark but are there any bathymetry (like topography but for underwater) maps for shallow / coastal water?? I guess fishing boats would have such information (although sonar would do the job).
Basically I would love to sit here at my desk and plot interesting places to go explore but I think that would be a bit too good to be true as the data would have to be on such a scale that it would not be feasable.
Do such maps exist??
