Welcome to Deeperblue! How's the diving and spearing in Cuba?

hello there. here we have amazing seascapes but lately we r having a lack of fish. don't know if due to global warming or the aliens jajaja.

 

[BatRay]

That's unfortunate. I hope they come back, or that the aliens return them soon!

 

[niorges]

jaja. where r u from??

 

[BatRay]

California.

Can u help me. I go spearing always from shore and for the good spots i have to swim for about 1 mile or 2. I want to buy a swimingboard but maybe it will scare away the fish.

People often use surfboards, paddleboards, and kayaks to get out to dive sites. For specific information, you may want to have a look at the spearfishing subforum.

I've only done boat diving and shore diving. Never paddled out, though it seems like it'd be fun.

at least it's gonna be easy for me sometimes i have to swim so long that when i get to the spot i'm already wasted jaj, next time i'll try it and tell u

waaoo it worked. went to the site paddling and i add a weight with a line attached to the board used as an anchor but also as an extra weight to dive faster way better than swim. Still no so much to catch. thx

Good deal! Do you use a Diver Down flag as well?

sorry what's that ??

There are a couple of diver-down flags. They are intended to provide a visible marker to passing boats that a diver is under the water nearby. The international flag is blue and white. There is another that is red with a diagonal white stripe.

this kind of flags aren't used here because it's better if the coastguard or the inspectors from wildlife can't spot us they always find some rule broken to fine us.
