hi,

i will be the whole MARCH 2013 on koh tao near koh samui and i am looking for spearfishing and freediving.

perhaps some locals could take me out or another spearo would share a boat for a trip with me?

perhaps anyone has a good idea for koh tao? (contact, trip-agency, nice restaurant ...)

i would be very happy for every hint!

cheers from austria
 
Hello!
Spearfishing is not officially legal in Koh Tao, meaning Thai residents do not like to see you spearfishing there. Although... Some of my friends have been living and fishing there for few years already, they know where to go without bothering anyone.
I recommend you stop at Apnea Total, the most popular freediving school on the island and you may meet some buddies to show you around. Anyway, as you know, never freedive alone ;)

Marc,
(Former freediving instructor on the island)

PS I dont know about Koh Samui
 
Herzliche Grüße aus Berlin!

I guess I will be there around mid of February to begin of March too. But I have no fixed schedule yet. See my other thread for some more details. I have not speared yet, but I would like to try it.

I haven't been to Koh Tao yet but I heard that recently spearfishing was "forbidden" on the island and signs where placed on the beaches. On the other hand there are some travel agents that offer big game fishing.
