I have just moved to Melbourne and would like to give Spearfishing ago (I can scuba dive but I realise the 2 are different).
I could only find one place which did a course on Spearfishing but apparently the instructor is out of action with a lung infection.
After reading a few comments on here I thought I would just give it a go. Is that a good idea?
I have heard that Brighton and Black Rock is quite good for spearfishing and that I need a wetsuit,fins, snorkel and mask (which I already own) and I was going to buy a speargun. I guess I need something to keep the fish in (if I am lucky enough to get near any thing).
Any comments/suggestions? (even if it is don't do it, do the course first).
Cheers,
Adam
