Thailand info.

Thailand spearfishing info.

If you holidaying in Thailand in the future or living in Thailand and want to go spearing, drop me a line.

For the past 5 years, I've lived very close to the year-round warm, clear waters of the Andaman and I'm always looking for spearing buddies (I'm the only English-speaking one in this area, as far as I'm aware) or just someone who needs a local guide. I have a fast f/g sports cruiser boat to get out to the many local islands and reefs. I also have use of a bigger boat in the Phuket/Krabi/Trang areas for larger groups and off-shore hunting. All trips are freediving only. Spearguns for daily rental can also be arranged.

I DO NOT OPERATE A BUSINESS OR LOOK TO MAKE ANY PROFIT FROM VISITING SPEAROS - I MAKE MY LIVING BY OTHER MEANS. ALL TRIPS ARE ORGANISED ON A FRIENDLY BASIS WITH ALL COSTS SHARED EQUALLY AMONGST LIKE-MINDED SOULS, WHO ENJOY SOME DAYS OUT SPEARING AND MAYBE A BEER OR TWO AFTER.

Drop me a line at: charleswillberry@hotmail.com and I'll get back to you promptly.

Cheers for now,


Charlie

Good luck with your new job

Madprops, when will You be there? Any dates set? This place teeming with freedivers, it seems...

Great to see some group setting up in the Phuket area. Walt and Aey are experienced freedivers there, I am sure they would be interested. I have done myself liveaboards to the Similan several times and always alone, it would be great to find a partner for the next time.

For those closer to Bangkok, there is a group there training more or less regularly in pools. There is a website with pictures and blog, and a forum. Anyone interested is welcome to get in touch... after Songkran of course

rxcnc2, have you been the only freediver on a scuba-liveaboard? How was it, and did you do scuba too?

You're most welcome over anytime, dude. But, do try and stay a little longer than a minute... you won't get to see much 'ping-pong' otherwise!

 

[madprops]

could we have cool niknames :blackeye

 

[constantine]

i was also freediving on kho phi phi with the scubas... and it was always very very nice... :inlove

and the songkran, which rxcnc2 said.... it was so funny yesterday. i stand 7 hours on the streets or driving around with the local people to wish a happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sanso]

Heheh, songkran. It was mayhem!

Thanks going out to Charlie. While I didn't plan to do any spearing, he did give me a nice tip for a leisurely beach dive off of Phuket. I really enjoyed it. I recommend contacting him if you want some tips. I also wanted to take a course from Richard and Sarah, but I couldn't fit it into the busy family trip. Maybe next time!

 

[sanso]

Hey, next time it is.

Whereabouts is that leisurely beach dive off Phuket?
Really, really interested!

Why?

This is off-topic from the 'looking for spearfishing buddies' (not for profit) OP and smells like a promotional plug.
