Bring a big pipe gun if you have it. I'd recommend something from 100-130cm. The fish are all small and smart on the reefs there. You don't need a license like CA, but grab a book of fishing regs from a fishing store when you get there. They are pretty simple, compared to CA, but still important to know.
I was actually welcomed very kindly by all the local spearos I met, some local divers took me out and showed me some great spots on Maui. I would try to hook up with some local guys. There doesn't seem to be much animosity towards outsiders like you get with surfing, at least in my experiences.
yo kevin,
I am heading to maui and kuia soon. Hoping to do some spearing. mostly beach dives just to get a few fish for campfire dinners. what do you recommend as far as gear and spots to target? I don't want to break any laws or piss any one off. It seems like theres a lot of hostility towards people going out and spearing so I want to avoid that. hope your doing well.

Hey Kevin, i also would like to get out there with you, i just moved to cambria after living in lasvegas for over 20 years. i have alot of freshwater diving experience but little in the ocean, let me know when/ if you wana go out.
Hey Kevin! If your down for getting in the water soon that would be cool. I would like to go Sunday, I'm pretty sure that you said you work weekends? I go to Cuesta on Tues. Wed. and Thurs. now but during the evening so I got the weekdays till my class at 6.
