Hi all, this looks like an amazing forum with a lot of experienced spearos and quality gentlemen. I am very new to spearfishing, but plan on doing a lot of it in the near future. I am from Minnesota, the wife is from Brasil. We are going to Brasil for 3 months very soon. We will be staying near Ilha Bella / Maresias for a couple months and traveling to the north of Brasil at some point. We are hoping to stay every winter, possibly start a business there in the future after this trip.
I have been hunting (big game and birds) and fishing my entire life. I did a little pole spearing last time I was in Brasil and fell in love with it. I know I have a lot to learn about the sport, but am really looking forward to picking up the skills. I've got most of my gear, but think that I am going to get my speargun in Brasil (Divecom Elite) is what I am leaning towards from my research. Any advice or reviews are very welcome on spearguns, places, and maybe contacts in Brasil. I look forward to learning your beautiful sport!
