Digicebu,
Nice catch! What are those fish? Looks like a few tunas? I just went to Cebu this past July and August, here is the post of the trip, I think I put it in the wrong section. I tried to find spearguns there and came up with nothing, had to ship one over.

Thanks Chris,
Yes I got one lapu-lapu that was smaller the last trip and he tasted great, this time it was exciting to find a bigger one. I would love to shoot some dogtooth tunas the next time I go over to Cebu. I almost went to Bohol as well, I understand there are a few places that you can spear there that aren't sanctuaries. Maybe we can meet up for some spearing next time, it was a little tough doing all those 75 to 80 ft. drops alone (my father-in-law and brother-in-law didn't want to go in the water with me ...scared of sharks)

Hiya Miles,
Our hunting ground for the big fish (dogtooth tunas, trevallys) is a long drive farther south from Davao City. That would be the best place to go for freedive hunting (only freedive spearfishing is allowed there) but I don't recommend going there at these times.

Safe diving,

Hello all. I am moving to the Philippines in two weeks with a friend. We don't know yet whether we'll be setting up in Manila or in Cebu. I am converting him into a spearo so there will be two of us. At the moment I am a Euro style spearo catching smaller fish, but when I go out I plan to expand my technique. If anyone would like to do some fishing or exchange tips on good dive sites, message me.
