Sardinia spearfishing

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Welcome to Deeper Blue Ivan, like you say “nice Bass and Pollock”, and a hefty gun that you’re using to shoot them with. Looks like a really nice tool, what is it, custom made or bought through a spearo shop?
 

Hi Ivan,
Fast:
- Yes: Orosei, Capo Comino, San Teodoro, better with a boat.
- Yes: best west, Capo Spartivento, Capo Malfatano, Porto Pino,
Sant'Antioco and San Pietro islands, and more.
- From Setti Ballas (Seven Balls) to Olbia abaut 3,5 - 4 hours.
- At that time I work, but if you come to Guspini (southwest
Sardinia), We can make a "sortie" in the Oristano Gulf or
Piscinas. Do not guarantee anything but beautiful spots, 20 -25
metres of vertical visibility.

A si biri. Mauro

Thanks for welcoming me !
The gun is not mine, I was only testing it. it's custom made by a friend, not commercialized unfortunately.
There's a lot of current and I perfer a basic gun Marc Valentin, 100 com or 110 cm, easier to move.

Hello Mauro,

I thank you very much for these informations and your proposal.

I would love to go spearfishing with you of course. Why not a stop close to Guspini on our way back to Cagliari around the 24th or 25th of july. I could propose that to my friends (they don't dive).
The coast in Buggeru looks nice and it is close to Guspini. Would it be a nice place to stay and sleep ? Or do you advise me to go somewhere else (Oristano dose'nt look particularly nice...) ?

I apologize not speaking italian....

Oristano is a good spot for spearfishing.
Saluti. Mauro
 
Hello Mauro,

I made my schedule for my holiday in Sardinia and I will remain around Orosei.

I shall nevertheless be a night in Bosa on Saturday the 25th and I shall go back towards Cagliari on Sunday afternoon.

I'm still interesested if you have any suggestion

I thank you again for your advice and wish you the best

Sincerely

Ivan
 

I'm sorry but we hardly see. Orosei is very nice spot. A my friend he captured a 300 lb tuna in the 2009 year. But needed a boat and a guide.
Bosa is an other very nice spot, Capo Marargiu at north and Corona Niedda at south. But needed a boat and a guide. For a little "sortie" without boat, is nice the Turas beach. 20 minutes of finning to southwest direction, from 15 to 22-25 metres deep: sar, crob, merou and wrasse.

Saludos. Mauro.
 
I realize this is a bit of an old thread, but I'm gonna send out a post anyway!

I've read all the posts on Sardinia/Sardegna that i can find, and am hoping to come into contact with someone living there who might be going out in the next few weeks. I'm going to be in Sardinia this September 15th - 29th just exploring the island with my gf and have read through a ton of posts/sites talking up Sardinia as a great location. I'm fairly new to the sport (and the forum here) but i'm really just hoping to meet some people who would like to help out a new guy to get better. Currently, i'm traveling the world for 9 months and I'm traveling pretty light, so for me to get out into the water i'm really hoping to find some nice people who want their gear carried to the beach/boat
in exchange for offering some technique and strategy to a beginner. I've actually hunted 4 times and did ok each time, but i'm looking to get further into the sport. Hope to hear from someone out there!

PS. If anyone might not be available, but know of a local guide or anything or even a place to rent gear, i think it would get me started in the right direction.

Rob
 
All this info... fantastic job everyone... don't you just love internet?

Edited to say THANK YOU ALL !
 
Hello, guys! I'm new here and interested in Sardinia spearfishing. We would like to visit Sardinia at end of July or 5-15 of August. As I see from 1-2 pages of this thread, at the north are lot of place for spearfishing without boat. So, some questions:

1. What can you say about spearfishing at this time? Is a lot of fish there? How deep it usually stay?
2. About gun. I have 70cm airgun, which I usually use in fresh water - lakes, rivers. Is it OK, or I need 100-120cm bandgun? I'm not very experienced guy and long range shoots not for me
 
Hello everyone! I'm going to Sardinia in July. Could anybody please recommend some locations good for recreational freediving from shore (depth up to 25m)? I'm especially interested in nice underwater rock formations, swim throughs, and marine life. Which part of the island would be best for me to stay at?

Hi Marcin
I'm thinking about going to Sardinia this August. I'd love to hear your firsthand experience later!
 
Dear Spearos,

on my last vacation Diving Gecko was so kind to help me out and everything ended just perfect. So I thought I could test my luck again and ask a few questions here.

.) I read that it is (or was) forbidden to carry a dive light while spearfishing in Sardinia. Is that true?

.) My friend won't carry my speargun in his car, untill I can show him some "official" paper or laws that it is perfectly legal to transport a speargun over the border by car. Till now I had no luck (officials in Italy are not responding to e-mails for months). I showed him every single piece of information on the Internet, stating that it is legal, but he remains stubborn. Any Idea how I could manage this? I found NO link to Italian gun laws on the internet, till now.

.) Could you give me some Infos about the currents surrounding Olbia (in September) ? I mean is it safe in general? I know things can change quickly


Have a good day
Chris
 
Hi Niceguy27,
I'm sorry but I can't answer to 1st and 3rd questions.

Regarding the transport of the speargun in the car (2nd question) , this is the law to refer to: article 4 Law nr. 110 year 1975 (in Italian art. 4 L. 110/75).
To sum up, you cannot transport or have on yourself items that can be used to injure someone without a justified reason.
For example: you can carry a baseball bat if you are going to play or practice; but you can't do it if you're going to the disco. You can carry a billhook if you are a farmer; you can't if you're going to the pub on Saturday night; you can carry the speargun if you are going fishing (with wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins) but you can't do it if you're going to a party.

Of course, you should carry knives, billhooks, spear guns or other items in the car trunk; not close to your hands.

All the best, Roberto

Edit in red

Of course, only if you have a good reason as above written, you should carry knives, billhooks, spear guns or other items in the car trunk; not close to your hands
 
@NiceGuy27

I don't live in Sardinia, but some friends of mine who live there told me that using of dive torch during spearfishing sessions is allowed. Keep in mind that spearfishing is forbidden during the night, you can do it only from sunrise until sunset.
 
Oh man, thats nice. I think that should be enough to make him carry my gear. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
