sussex 2013

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.
Right then people, i've set up the new thread for sussex 2013 just so we dont look outdated amongst all the other spearos from different counties!!

hope everyones had a great christmas and all that jazz. will be keeping an eye on the weather and tides for the coming weekend for possibly a dive off newhaven, but if last weekend out on the boat fishing was anything to go by there doesnt appear to be much about at the moment, but to get wet will be good enough anyway..

happy spearing for 2013!!
 
Hi liam98,

I’ve not been in the sea with anyone in Brighton science I starter freediving and have been thinking of finding a buddy to go diving and possibly spearing with.

So being the new year and all, would it be ok for me to meet up with you and anyone else if you do go out this weekend or next?

yes mate, il have to check tides etc, ususally i head to newhaven as its a bit easier for me to get to, got a cold spell coming over the weekend so could be a chilly one but hopefully it will stay calm. il pm you my details
 
Hi guys, Im from Dorset and have never been spearfishing down your way but would love to come down for a weekend, I'll wait til the season starts again I think. I'll post again nearer the time to see if anyone fancies meeting up for a dive, always keen for a session down here if you find yourselves on the road.. Happy 2013.
 
Hi Portland Spearo - I'd be happy to show you a few spots in Sussex...but coming from Dorset I am afraid you are likely to be disappointed (sorry). Vis in 2012 was pretty dreadful...but if you're up for some new underwater scenery (or hue of green depending on how Neptune is feeling), give me a shout.
 

Thanks mate thats very kind.. We had some nice fish last year but also a lots of bad vis and wind. I'll stay in touch. Good luck with this season!
 
A dorset spearo wanting to come to sussex??!! Brialliant!! Please come up, you will appreciate what you have down your way so much more!! Maybe we could do a county exchange for the weekend??
Either way, if you do find yourself in sussex wanting a dive, im sure the few of us unlucky souls that dive here regulary will be more than happy to take you out to a few spots.
 

Ha ha you all are very hospitable! I heard a few good things and always like diving different waters! thanks. went out last week didnt see a thing.. will be diving all year so fingers crossed!!

It would be great to have you come over for a dive - count me in! The only condition is that you don't show us all up by catching lots of monster fish...not sure my self respect could cope ;-)

Great, sounds like it'll be a good session! no promises lol..
 
most wrecks are quite a way off shore and hard to find, mostly sitting in 25-35m of water and hard to find so personally i wouldnt bother. Thats just my opinion though. most dives are off the beach, off piers etc, as for west sussex i can hardly speak i have no idea, if im venturing that far il carry on down the coast, im from Heathfield so stick to east sussex coast. Have a look on Google maps and you will realise how featureless our coast is, yes we have some amazing cliffs and gullies, but for 99% of the year the water is clouded by the chalk and silt.
 
and don't kid yourself, there is no 'good' diving spots in comparison to dorset and west country, all we have is 'diveable' spots that are good for sussex!!
 

Thanks Liam98 very helpful.. like the sound of it. i'll do some homework before I come down..

I've got one boat spot I want to try close to me - I'll let you know what it's like, hopefully before the end of the year! also Bognor reef might be good with a boat - it's a pretty long way to swim, especially if the tide is strong.

Oh, and if you're from Portland...am I doing the Portland Pose right???

ha ha ha, yeah well kind of but dont think we all do that! I live on Portland in the summer so I get more water time in and Weymouth in the winter.

Bognor always looks good.
 
he hey all you wonderful people of Sussex, I hope you all are doing great and keeping wet. Let's have a great 2013 with lots of fish to hunt.

hopefully you will be seing more of me this year and it would be a pleasure to dive with all of you.

have a great 2013!

cheers guys,
Guy
