Still looking for a partner

That is crazy. I would have been scared sh*tless!

Come out to Oki. I am looking for a buddy

Awesome. Thanks for the tip.

I went out over the weekend, mid afternoon about (when it was convienent for my wife and I to get there) and went out at a random empty beach not far from the house. I went straight in right off the shore but the visability was not good at all. This could be due to the fact I did not go too far out and/or it was the waves kicking up the sea floor.

I am still activly looking for a buddy though. I know there are sharks all over this island, and although attacks are not frequent here, I dont want to be treding this water alone while I am spearing...especially if I get lucky and nail a fish that sends blood everywhere.
My neighbor was telling me about one of his friends that used to go out and he attracted a bullshark. :@

I am just anxious to start

And lion fish are great to eat. Just be careful handling them.

Wow, Really!?!? I always read that they were among the most poisonous creatures on the planet. They dont seem like it would be worth the kill of a beautiful animal though; not much food?

Before I forget to mention it, I have a long spear with a band. Not a speargun, those are illegal to use for fishing out here.

To answer you first, Dude George, I am just interested in getting something big enough to eat. From what I understand most of the fish out here are edible; except the obvious ones like Lion Fish ect.

To answer you, Hank, I have a Wetsuit, fins, mask, snorkel, gloves, and knife. I am looking into getting a stringer and no weight belt; at least not yet.

I am very new. I have gone suba diving once a few years back. I am going to get certified this coming summer when my wife can go to classes with me. Out side of that one experience and some basic snorkleing, not much experience. That was why I had hopes someone else on this forum was still on Okinawa

Are you still on Oki?

Hey gents,

I have just arrived on the island. If you are still on island I would love to go out with you sometime. If not, could you direct me to some hot spots for fishing? I would like to start making some large catches and bring home some healthy food for my wife and I

That is okay. I am happy to at least be apart of this forum. Is there any tips you could give a noob such as myself?

Forinstance, how far out do you go?
Can you go right off the beach, a few meters out?

Hey all.

My wife and I are brand new to Okinawa Japan. I am working on Camp Hansen and live off base in Ginoza. My wife and I are both from Arizona, so I am ready to start my adventure of the ocean. I figured what a better way then to get into spear fishing.

I would like to meet someone that would like to go out every once in a while and spear fish with me. If anyone is interested, please send me a message.
