Hey Dude george,
I was trying to send you a PM about this, but dont seem to be able to. I was hopeful that you might be able to help our with some local knowledge, not about fishing spots, but about regulations. I'm coming down to Barbuda, on April 5, to kitesurf and learn to sail for a couple of weeks and would love to get some spear fishing in. It's been very hard to find any current information about the regulations. Is it possible to spearfish around Barbuda? (Outside of the protected areas, of course). I'll be travelling with a polespear and wont be diving much past 30 feet as I'm new to trying this sport without tanks.
Keep up all the great posts, they've been keeping me stoked through our winter months.

Hey everyone, firstly wanted to thank everyone for all the great info on this site. I've been lurking for awhile and used alot of information on this site to purchase my gear.
I'm new to freediving, but was spearfishing with scuba while I lived in the Dominican Republic. I tried to get into it when I moved back to Vancouver, but 10 years ago spearfishing seemed to be frowned upon locally. Between that and the Drysuit/weight belts, I just didn't enjoy it as much as in the tropics. But I have a group of friends who are all interested in pursuing it here and between that, freediving and converting back to wetsuits, it's way more enjoyable again.
Also picked up my first pole spear, and have decided to leave the speargun at home for awhile... wish me luck!
