Hey Nessim,

Do you know anything about the red tide situation on the east coast? Has it improved? I just got a new boat, and I'm itching to take it up to Musandam for a spearing trip!

From Honolulu to Kuwait? Eish!

Good luck mate. Man, what a culture change. There are shops in Dubai who might ship. there is also a DB member called Mishu1984. He spears and used to live in Kuwait. Try contacting him.

Here's a few suggestions:

Nile Divers from Egypt

Contact us Wasseim Zein of Hayaari From Abu Dhabi UAE

QatarSub from Qatar

[mishu1984]

The Hall of Fame has had its latest update. If you haven't looked lately there are some great new entries with pictures and stories aplenty. New featured catch is a Halibut, no less. http://forums.deeperblue.com/spearo-board/82043-deeper-blue-spearfishing-hall-fame.html

Some members, however, have been missing out by falling foul of the rules. Make sure you take pictures and most importantly weigh your catch then with a little luck and some skill you too could join the ranks of the famous Hall of Fame DB spearo's.

al-sabeeh is also the dealer for Omer products. but you might find it cheaper to ship your stuff than buying it in kuwait.

[lafona00]

Anyone still reading this post?

Anyone has a better understanding of the spearfishinig law in Dubai?

I have a 120 RA... I hope to be able to do it from mid march... waiting for my RA to tunr up with my house hold move...

I would be a new spearo in Dubai. If anyone wants to meet...

 

[Abu_Ayyoub]

In the UAE it's not clear but you can spear (fact). In Oman even some Emiratis have been caught with speargun, they got it confiscated + fine. I have been spearing in Oman though, so it's possible, like someone already said make it discret and don't upset the fishermen...

hello guys/gals
Fishing laws in general are unclear in Dubai.... the following was posted June 6th.

gulfnews : Dubai fishing licences for residents only

It mentions that you need a fishing licence to engage in any form of fishing activity in Dubai. Spearfishing would fall under that.

Having said that, I know for a fact that spearfishing on any man made structures is prohibited ... that includes all wave breakers, palm islands oil rigs etc ...

As mentioned earlier, the laws about spearfishing are unclear.... spear guns are sold widly in UAE.

best thing is to be descrete!!!

good luck to all you spearo's ouut there!

Anyone went to Fujeirah/Khor Fakkan recently?

I am going there this week end

 

[Jewan]

I'm suppose to be there this Sat. at 6am

 

[lafona00]

Hi Jewan

Are you there for spearfishing?
If yes we could meet.

It is my first trip to this part of UAE, therefore I have no specfic plans (except spearfishing ;-)

Where are you going?

I am going to try to look at Google Earth to see where I want to go from the shore and/or boat.

I have the name of a company who rents boats for around 300 a hour.
