Re: Spearfishing colombia
Very nice report the place looks beautiful. Prices for trips out of Atlanta are really cheap on Spirit Airlines.

They have the best accommodations, the place is really clean and you might be able to get a cabin in the middle of the jungle which they have. check it out online... The owner's name is Elicardo and his number is +57 313-667-4936. Let him know that you are going to meet Absalom to go Spearfishing and they will take really good care of you. I hope you guys enjoy the place dive safe and post some pics. |

I'd like to contribute to the post also. I got friends that go Spearfishing in the Northern part of Colombia, La Guajira (Atlantic Ocean) and it's along the same lines. They hire a local with a panga to take them out, stay at The fishing is excellent, big Snapper, monster Hog Fish, big Groupers. They do Scuba and freedive, they bring a compressor with them. The weather is kind of rough up there, but the fishing is worth the adventure. I'm gonna try to snag a couple of pictures from my friend's FB.

This shreds us to pieces. Us Colombians haven't touched these forests and for some foreign company to come in and make a desert out of our land makes me furious. They went and Bamboozled the natives, nickle and dime them onto signing a 25 year lease to Cut down "harvested" (these forest are not harvested !!!! they are thousands of years old and untouched by anyone, plus each tree is a home for many different other animals...) forests. I wanted to let everyone I possible can know about this... Hopefully we'll be able to stop this from happening. Here is an article about it. http://www.allaboutcolombia.com/thre...es-of-Colombia... And here is a Facebook group with over 4500 people protesting about it. http://www.facebook.com/pages/RECHAZ...12968378716941 |

Re: Spearfishing colombia
I was down on the Pacific Coast of Colombia (Bahia Solano) for a few weeks in Novembr and fell in love with the place. The prices are increduibly cheap and the fishing was Awesome! The flights down are cheap on spirit.

Re: Spearfishing colombia

Re: Spearfishing colombia
I just wanted to give an update on El Valle after spearing there the last 2 weeks. Specifically, Absalom. As I understand it, Absalom is the only freediver/spearfisherman in the town. Unfortunately, he has a serious drug problem and I believe he may be losing his mind (I have spoken with several of his friends in town and they seem to be aware he is having problems). Long story short, he ended up taking my money and 2 days of my time and we didn't go diving. In my opinion, he should not be trusted.
There are plenty of other captains that should be able to take you to some good spots. As I am on a tight budget anyways, I spent the two weeks shore diving which proved very successful. This area has a lot of nice fish that can be accessed from shore. |

Re: Spearfishing colombia
Im based in Bogota, if there is anyone planning a spearfishing trip to Colombia's pacific coast and looking for a dive partner with some local savvy I would be interested in joining. I speak spanish and can help with the planning.

Re: Spearfishing colombia
Hi Evoluto,
Thank you for your very informative (if not ancient) post! I plan on visiting Colombia soon and I have a question about water temperature. It appears that the surface temp of the ocean is consistently around 82F (80 in Feb, 84 in June). Can you comment on the water temperature at depth? It doesn't seem like you have any wetsuits in your pictures. It would be nice not to have to pack the suit! Thanks! Elliott |
