UAE Spearfishing/Freediving Trip 2008

[island_sands]

Mate,

I started this thread as we are planning a large spearfishing/freediving trip next Spring.

You are welcome to join us, when I get prices and plans together I will let you know.

Safe spearing, and always with a buddy I hope.

Cheers
Sara

A friend has a boat and its constantly in the work shop or there is something wrong at some point. Only managed to take it out a few times and that too was for conventional fishing trips.

I'm looking into buying myself a 4 m inflatable boat/dingy with a small 15-20 bhp engine. It's not too much but will do the job. Possibly by next year.

You have been saying that for 2 years now my friend Did you find my mask or were you busy polishing your gold ?

You... %^$# of course i didn't find your mask as it's not with me. Take another look. I will look at walts place as he has a small dive bag. Will check today and call and let you know. I am not polishing anything as of yet. But if you feel the need to go ahead and polish your teeth and other parts ie. YOU KNOW WHAT...then please feel free and don't let my lack of polishing get in the way of your enjoyment!

speak soon

As with all my stuff that I lend you it goes missing...*sigh*....are you getting a gold plated spear-gun as well and fins?? I heard that Prada make masks encrusted with diamonds so you can buy one of those for yourself....metro-man :girlie

Will call you after lunch.

Hey Oz75
I'm also considering buying a RIB or Zodiac style inflatable for pretty much the same purposes as you - inshore fishing/spearing. I've never speared b4, but dived for several years and fished since I was a kid. I live in Al Barsha. I'm just about to start shorefishing now it's cooling down, so if you wanna meet up some time, give us a shout.

Hi guys I thought this thread was about a spearfishing holiday!?

 

[island_sands]

hi Guys
I tend to agree. Can we keep this discussion on the spearfishing holiday I am planning. I will do more on it after Ramadan

Point taken on thread hijacking.

Is this trip still going or not?

Thanks,

[island_sands]

Gerhard, due to absolute life turmoil i was unable to get this organised. HOWEVER, if you immediately have 10/12 interested people, i have a luxury boat set up with a dhow that follows you for fishing, with chef, crew, the works... 10K AED per day, so between 10 of you its a luxury fishing trip, the boat will take you out to Bin Sir Nair island which has intact coral reefs etc etc etc.

Interested? Let me know....

 

[Gerhard101]

Thanks,

Will keep it in mind,

My Company might be interested to entertain clients and do some fishing...

Usman have all your mates got short arms and deep pockets? there is no discount i'm afraid, and it will happen whenever you guys book it and pay up front

Off topic I know, but I happened to see this thread and wondered if any of you can recommend any particular spot for a snorkelling/ scuba hol for a family ( self and wife + 2 boys, 16 and 14) in the Red Sea? Been looking at Shram el Sheikh Thomas Cook packages.
