hi im planning to go to thailand in summer 2007 for 6 weeks or more.
i also thougt about taking my speargun with me, but i dont know about the regulations or anything else there. I dont want to get into any trouble, were a group of 4 21 year olds and will do mostly backpacking trips.
so what gear is really necessary,and what is suitable for the thai waters.
i own an omer excalibur 90cm and an imersion t4 (7mm spear , twin 16 rubber 75 cm) and i thought about bringing these two with me. good idea?
for reef, for something bigger like makarel ,what would u suggest?
also is it a good idea to take spareparts with me( shafts, line etc.)?
or are there shops where i can get a hold of spearing gear?
i read somewhere that there are a lot of marine conservation areas, are there plans of those areas? not that i want to go there:naughty
i consider myself as beginner to average spearfisherman, so for what fish do i have chances? (taste??)
also are ther any dangers? sharks etc. police?
i usually dive med waters.
hope someone helps me out!!
will plan my trip , after i know the best spots
had a similiar problem last year went to egypt with all my gear and found out spearing is illegal there:rcard had to do my scuba certificate instaead.
thx for all your input
