Spearfishing in north east England

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.
Aye, it was nice to meet you Grant, if not a little unexpected turning up on your turf!

Sadly Dave (aka the original Mr Pollock!) I have fished so little in the NE during my time here that I can't really comment on whether I see them or not. I have seen a handful but no larger than a pound and always tucked under scaurs that I find when lobstering. I don't get a lot of free time so when I do, I always seem to head to Wales rather than explore up here. Starting to regret it a little bit though as there does seem to be a small spearo community beginning to develop!

Hi all,
I'm moving back up to Durham way and am looking to spearfish the north east, if anyone can give me some good pointers it would like a dive buddy give me a shout.

Hi,
I am quite new in UK, and I'm also a beginner spearfisher. I am close to Hartlepool, and I would be happy to dive with someone who knows the place!
 
I'm working in London at the moment so am only up weekends, I haven't dived (freediving) the north east as I've mainly scuba'd up here.
I still want to try and find a pool for training too as I'm still a total novice

I'm still pretty new at it and I like to do both mostly freediving atm.

I did, the tides were out but I still managed to see a few decent crabs and the odd fish around the kelp beds the current was pretty strong as the tide came in.

All in all it was a good place to dive around I Want to try again when the tide is in

Would it disturb you if I join you sometimes?

Looks great!
I have only dived in France, on the mediteranean coast. I started spear/free diving approximately 3 years ago. I swum for a few years in a swimming club :)
How thick is your wetsuit?
 
5mm wetsuit it can get pretty cold in the winter months.

Send me a message you can have my number or add my on Facebook, whatever dose it for you

Hi Guys,

I'm heading to Redcar on Friday next week, can anybody recommend any particular areas around these parts? If anyone is in the area and free, would they like to join me?

thanks
 
Hi guys
I've been diving browns bay but keen to get out to some other spots. Total beginner to spearfishing but surfed all my life and from a family of divers so totally at home in the water.
Anyone planning any dives soon they don't mind a tag along?
Cheers
Trev
P.s. Based in Newcastle
