I have checked out a few places now, mostly south coast of London areas, I have checked with Scuba-dive shops as to where to dive, and they say "oh-yeah, diver here or there", then getting there finding that it's a JOKE! No vis, not fish, terrible conditions etc! Now I don't expect my home-land conditions, but COME-ON, there must be something worth slipping into!?

Marc, if you are in london contact the LIC (London international spearfishing club) and they will help you out, they are a friendley helpful lot!

Marc, almost without exception in this country Scuba shops are NOT spearfishing friendly as they might be abroad. Portland Oceaneering is one such exception plus they are based in a good all-round area for spearfishing. UK Spearo is right if you are based in London to contact London club - diverse membership, talented spearos, very friendly AND, through trial and error, know good areas.
I'll second Portland Oceaneering as one friendly bunch. Ben and Ade are exactly the type of guys you want to meet face to face for some good advice and even a rare amphibious assault on the fish from the http://www.dorsetdukw.co.uk/
Shame you missed the Spearo BBQ... http://www.busterlung.co.uk/spearfishing.htm, but they may have another sometime.
I think Dave at www.spearo.co.uk has good advice for Cornwall too.
