Hi, did you contact that guy i suggested?

It's a quick thing to get the licence... bad luck...

If people are interested on some Azorean pics and footage maybe I can post some stuff (I usually don't...) but maybe wait for brauny's stuff...

Good luck

Yes I did! I talked to Gui! He even has a spare Gopro mask mount for me to buy! I can't wait to get it mounted and get in the water! Thanks for all your help!

Oscar, I know right now I don't have a very good breath hold. But I will do my best to get you some pictures of the bottom and reef structure and hopefully a few fish!

Finally hooked up with someone who is going to take me out and teach me how to spearfish! So today I went to get my spearfishing license for the Azores and what do you know. Their computer systems are down! :frustrated2: I wanted to hopefully dive tomorrow! Hopefully I'll be able to get it tomorrow and dive in the afternoon! Keep an eye out! I'll have my gopro and will hopefully be able to throw up a picture of my first fish that I ever speared!!

Can anyone PM marginatus for me? I keep trying to but it says I don't have permission to send private messages? I am just trying to get into contact with him so I can start learning how to spearfish! Thanks!!

Brauny, send me a PM with more information (when, for how long, what you need, etc) and I'll help you out...
I'm not in Terceira but know people that are.

cheers

Marginatus,

I'm not able to private message you. It says I don't have the privileges to send messages yet. But I will be in Terceira for a year. I have all my gear (fins, mask, wetsuit, weight belt, gun, etc.) I really just need someone to show me around at some of the places to dive, if there are shallow reefs or just bluewater diving. And most importantly, I need a dive buddy! Safety Third! (Rule 1. Always follow rule three. Rule 2. Refer to rule one. And Rule 3 is always Safety! lol) Thanks for your help!!

And thanks everyone else that jumped in on this too! It's good to know that there are people looking out for even an extremely new guy that wants to learn how to dive!

Is there anyone on here that is in the Azores? Hopefully on Terceira if I'm lucky! I'm want to learn how to spearfish and freedive and I'm hoping someone would be able to show me how and teach me. We can maybe meet up someplace or just get in the water and learn from there. Thanks so much!!

Welcome - Azores, Wow. New post on Azores should be of interest "Inhale."

That was actually the very first spearfishing video I watched! And it just made me more excited to get there and try and learn! I just hope I'm not a complete bust at this haha.

Awesome video!! This is the first video I watched when I was first researching spearfishing. I can't wait to get to the Azores and start learning!

How's it going everyone? I am a complete new guy when it comes to spearfishing. I am in the military and recently found out I'm moving to the Azores. I thought a great hobby and new skill to learn would be freediving and spearfishing. I was browsing around and I saw there is A LOT of knowledge around this forum and I'm looking forward to picking some of your brains and doing a lot of learning! Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
