My sister is down your way. I havde cancelled plans for the end of the month to visit, but pandemic permitting, the girlfriend and I might do a little April Road Trip down that way visiting the fire affected towns along the way.
Only in pencil at the moment, but if it goes ahead, the wetsuit, fins and gun are straight in the car!
And likewise if you're ever up this way, drop me a line. Some beautiful spots to dive all along this coastline, very easy place to fall in love with.
I have fallen in love with it. The freediving aspect of it is a real kick for me, the fresh fish at the end of it is the icing. Just love being in the water! Also the things you see, was in Boat Harbour this past weekend and there was a sea turtle with a missing fin and a tracker on it, beautiful big spotted wobbegongs, curios little Port Jackson sharks, crays, octopus, eagle rays, etc.
There's practically no by-catch because you're identifying everything before you take it and it's very quick death. Even if the shot isnt a stone kill, it is seconds from a shot to spiking the fish. Also means that the flesh doesn't fill up with blood from having the fish struggle, so it's a one way trip to flava town when the cooking starts.
You can pick up a hand spear pretty cheap (good quality one is QUOTE]
