Howdy ladies & gents,

I spent 13 years spearfishing and freediving around South Africa and Mozambique and now I live in England with my girlfriend. We have a few horses out in the sticks but no pool!!!:head

I freedived on Kuredu Island in the Maldives for three weeks and am going back again in December, with a stopover in Dubai for a few days first. Anyone with spearo tips (licensing req's, spots) for Dubai PLEASE get in touch. Spearing is banned in the Maldives but I'd love to have a mackerel or kingfish on the bbq in Dubai for a treat.

Anyway, I look forward to reading the posts and hopefully contributing a few myself.

Warm regards,
TS.
 
Hi turtle, get in touch with island_sands, as she lives in Dubai.
 
hey man, welcome to DB! theres a spearfishing trip to Dubai being planned by Island Sands so have a look for the post and you on your way to getting in touch with lots of spearos! keep well and enjoy your stay!
 
Thanks Adrian and Capetownguy,

I have contacted Island_sands and although I'm only in Dubai for a couple of days, it appears as though I might be able to arrange a dive with some of her mates.

Also, I was planning to take my speargun to the Maldives and simply book it in at the resort receptin for the duration of my stay but Island_sands warns me that it would be confiscated upon my arrival at the airport in Male' :naughty
So on second thoughts, I'll leave it with mates in Dubai! Invaluable info.

Cheers guys. Hope to chat with you soon.
Warm regards,
TS

Hey mate great name, I've never had sex with a turtle, what is it like?? rofl
 
Ha ha! For all the tree-huggers out there... I haven't actually shagged a turtle. (..yet..)

But it isn't for lack of trying! They're just pretty quick. I did quite a bit of underwater filming in the Maldives and ended up making a 60-minute dvd. One of the clips is of a gentleman I met on the plane who ended up in the same resort as me... he decided to try and make the acquaintance of a turtle. :inlove

The ensuing two minutes were hilarious! The little turtle quite literally swam circles around my friend. There was never any danger he was going to catch it, and rest assured that no animals were harmed in the making of said production. (Or even mildly embarrassed!)

Take care you lot. And fear not; the little dudes are safe.
