I think Pastor has dived there, saw a basking shark I seem to remember?

 

[Pastor]

Yep take your gear, we went a few years ago and had a great time. Draw a line from Douglas across to Peel and anywhere south of that should be good. Lots of Bass and loads of scallops/queenies. Langness, Castletown, Port St Mary all have some good spots, check them out on google maps. Port Erin is great for a bit of aquatic sight seeing and worth a trip

 

[Pastor]

Yes we took a boat trip to see them, one was about 9m, absoloutely huge. You know that they are big but nothing really prepares you for just how big they are. June, July is the best time for them, loads of info on the net

cheers thanks for the info

Is it not illegal to spearfish on the Isle of Man?

 

[KWM]

My belief too. Spearing as far as I know is banned on the Isle of Man.

Why not just check, by giving their fisheries department a call.
