Hi,

I am going to Madeira in December and I wondered if there are any freedivers up there I could go diving with.

Best Regards,

Rik
 
Hi Rik!

I can put you in contact with some spearos from Madeira...i´m sure they will help you find nice places to dive and even go with you for some dives.

But as i said they are spearos...they don't dive just for the fun...they dive for fish or for the fun of caching fish ;)

Will you go directly to Madeira? If you have one or two days in Lisbon we can arrange a dive for you with some freedivers!

If you want send me a PM.

Cheers,
Marco

Dear Marco and Mário,

I will go directly to Madeira, and won't stay in Portugal. I am not planning for any extensive freediving, just some shallow dives and hear how freediving / spearfishing goes on the island.

I will send you both an PM and respond to the given suggestions.


Best Regards,

Rik
 
Hi Marco,

I am going to Madeira in December and I want to do some spearfishing. Could I get in contact with your friends there?
 
Hello Maradona. We are 2 spearfisher from denmark coming to madeira the 15 december for one week- just freediving and spearfishing. If you are there in the same time periode - we cut meet. We are also interrested in meeting local spearfisher - reanting a boat....

Hello
I am the guy going with Thorbjørn to Madeira 15.December-22. December.
We are very interested in meeting fellow spearos or just getting some information on where to dive, techniques and potential dangers.
We are both experienced spearos able to reach depths 20-25 meters.

We will be able to reach all parts of the island accesible by car. If we hook up with 2-3 other spearos we would like to rent a boat and go for some blue water if it is possible.

@Maradona: we will mail you to arrange a meeting. Looking forward to go for some spearing with you.

Best regards
/Joachim - Copenhagen(water temp 7 degrees right now!)...
 
That's great guys I d really like to hang around with you and go fishing. So far, the friend of Mceriero has not got back to me. He is in the island fishing, so I do not know anyone. But we can ask around and we ll give it a go anyway.
I agree hiring a boat will be much nicer. What I know is that it is a tropical place and there are sharks and barracudas around. But it would be better if we asked a local fisherman. We ll see I am very excited:) I will be waiting for your e mails.
Water temperature in England 9 degrees. Tomorrow I m going for sea-bass. Just finished making a small flasher.
