Spearfishing in Djibouti.
I'll be deploying to Djibouti around March for close to a year. My HQ will be Camp Lemonnier among other places. Anyone know of any spearfishing opportunities in the area? I'll be bringing some of my freedive gear and a polespear. I've heard from some of the guys there right now that I'll have plenty of opportunities to go dive in the waters out there.
Thanks!

I've heard the fishing is wonderful there, now that commercial fishing interests are keeping their distance.

Re: Spearfishing in Djibouti.
I honestly haven't heard much about spearing in Djibouti until a couple guys sent me some PMs(THANKS!). I didn't think I'd be able to go spearing out there, but I'm actually pretty excited now, and I hope I can find some dive buddies out there to point me in the right direction.

Re: Spearfishing in Djibouti.
Send a PM to Daryl Wong. He has a couple of buddies that were over there for a long time. He may be able to put you in touch with them...

Yea the water may be nice but you're in the asshole of the world...Somali pirates will ambush you! Better off staying on base and drinking beer at "11 degrees north"

Re: Spearfishing in Djibouti.
Spearfishing is not allowed in Djibouti area.
You should get there in the nineties (before spear banning)... great captures and action. amazing freediving among fauna & flora...

Re: Spearfishing in Djibouti.
Jabroney,
Are you in DJ yet? I'm new to spearfishing and am definitely looking for a partner to show me the ropes. Snorkeled today off French Beach and it looked prime. PM me if you're here or if any other spearfishermen from DJ would be kind enough to take me under their wing. |

but when thing's get wrong with authorities it's pretty more complicated and dangerous if your not a local and could be worst in accordance of your nationality... unless you have strong/ reliable connections with local authorities there, you have better to be carefull!!... and not spear never trust a local fisherman or a cpt who makes big promises have experienced many of up and down spearing in Morocco, Algeria, Senegal, Togo, Comoros...
