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... %^$# 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

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.

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....

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.
