Je regrette que je ne peux pas parler français. J’espère que vous n’êtes pas offensés si je commence en anglais.
I’m currently traveling through France with my girlfriend and we will be staying in Nice May 11-15. I brought freediving gear and I’m very excited to try diving the Cote d’Azur. I would love to meet up with any spearos in the area for a dive. I did not bring a speargun and I have no expectation of hunting, but if someone is willing to take me out and loan me a gun that would be simply amazing. It sounds like the fish will be smarter than me here but it would be fun to give it a try.
I heard about this site through deeperblue.com, which I heard about through spearboard.com. Your site has been really helpful for finding spots to dive – if no one is able to take me out I’m thinking to try Cap Gros or Cap Martin. Thanks for the great info so far!
About me: I’m 28 and I’m from California (grew up in San Diego, now living near San Francisco). I’ve been spearfishing since I was about 12 years old and I am a total addict. I’ve been lucky to be able to dive some great locations outside California including Hawaii, Indonesia, Guadalupe/Benitos/Cedros Islands (Mexico), Texas and Rhode Island. Currently I’m comfortable diving to about 25m, but shallower is always welcome!
Finally, if anyone is ever headed to California and wants to try diving in the kelp forest let me know! Alternatively you can expect a warm reception on spearingforum.com. Check out my brother and my youtube videos to see what it’s like:
