I fly Continental down there from Houston or San Antonio and my guns packed in a gun case. Didn't have any problems. Customs guys didn't say a thing.

Re: Spearfishing in Belize

There was a thread here somewhere. Freediving only.

Thanks Speezio. I'm not sure what site to get the regulations from but they allow the use of spearguns, but only while freediving. The only other rule was that you can't spear in marine reserves, these are clearly marked on any map of offshore Belize. To my knowledge there aren't any species that are off-limits to spearing. You can contact David, the owner of the resort, with any other questions, his email address is somewhere in this thread, his screen name is Spiritwind. Have fun down there if you go!

I can only tell you about the barrier reef around south water caye, that's where we were. We didn't spend any time on any other reefs so it's difficult to recommend anything. I talked to some guys that hook and lined some 35lb muttons up in Ambergris caye but it was probably too deep to freedive; I heard about some amazing fishing at Glover's reef but there was some confusion as to whether Glover's is protected from spearing or not.

Thanks Roberto, I'm putting the finishing touches on a high-resolution video of my past year of spearfishing including my spearing in Belize, I'll send you some instructions on how to download it when I'm done, hopefully sometime in the next week or so.

Re: Spearfishing in Belize

Who did you guys go with? I'm going down for Thanksgiving and it's my dad birthday and I want to take my dad out and have a good trip. We will be on a Cruz's and it would be nice if the charter could also take us divi g because my mother will want to dive. Any advice would be great
