G'day from Sunny Qatar

Oi oi!
Just found this forum by chance, looks like a great spot for tips and advice. Anyone out here in the Gulf interested in teaming in up, feel free to give me a shout!

Any tips on expanding your lung capacity? Besides holding your breath for set periods of time each day..

Cheers beer! :friday

Welcome from Texas! Other than parctice, practice, prctice...no advice. I' know there quite a few spearo from DB in your neck of the woods.

 

[XJDiver]

I'll try to get into contact with them. Will do some Qatar or Doha keyword searches on the forum. Texas? Great, I've applied to Grayson County College. Hopefully I'll be able to continue my new hobby during my studies!

Hello and welcome on DB

All best

Heads up! My dive buddy is flying back to Florida in a few weeks and it would be stupid to head out into the water alone. I've got all my own gear, a capable 4wd vehicle and plenty of time on my hands. I'd love to meet someone who's familiar with diving here in Qatar and would perhaps team up with me.
Feel free to give me a shout!

Hey buddy;

Out of Qatar at the moment but will return for 2months (october/november - best season) and I got my boat & 4WD. We used to go 2-4 times a week depending on the weather and my partners still go there. However, there are new legislation/regulation on spearfishing there (which Im not very familiar - all of that happened while Ive been out of the country) so check them as fines can be high....

Regards

If you do come to Texas--shout out. It would be fun to get together.

I was in Texas from 28th of June to the 2nd of July and it was messed up man! I was hoping to spend some time in galveston but I recall weather was a mess at this time so I ended up just staying in Houston doing some work. I might come again to TX by the end of this month for couple of days? Any advise on where to spearfish (from the beach?)

 

[agbiv]

99% of the beach/jetty access has really poor viz. PM me for some advice on how to go offshore.
