Bringing this thread back to the top. It's been a long while but facebook sucks and maybe a few will follow back here.

Hello everyone!  New to the board, and just started spearing up in my homeland (the U.S.).  I'm a member of the OC Spearos.  

I have family in Governors Bay near Lyttelton, and I'll be visiting this upcoming Christmas 2019.  

Anyone here open to adding a visitor to a spearfishing/cray-dive outing?  If so, what is the proper NZ etiquette for arranging a meet-up?

I'd prefer shore diving, but boat is fine by me as well, and I'll happily offer up a portion of my catch as a gesture of gratitude to anyone that will allow me to join.  I'm even willing to camp! 🏕

Looking forward to hearing back and hopefully getting to know a few of you.

- Luke

Hey Spearos! I'm in Chch currently visiting and really keen to get in the water and add some fresh food to the Christmas lunch.

Im thinking of heading up to Kaikoura early tomorrow (20th) and would love to jump in with someone who knows the area. Either that or around Akoroa if the conditions are suitable (?)

Please drop me a message if youre planning to jump in, I'm keen to get involved and have my gear with me.

Thanks!
Matt

Hey all,

I have been pulling together some gear for diving and finally have a good full set up. I'm planning on coming to dive trainings from next week to meet a few other local spearo's. If anyone is looking for a dive buddy or a tag along on a trip for some pertol money I'd gladly come.My girlfriend also likes bottom fishing, so if that's a possibility she's happy to petrol money in too. I'm not overly experienced, but there's only one way to fix that. I'm free most weekends. Look forward to meeting you all at some point.

Thanks, Nick]]> Tue, 15 May 2018 20:13:44 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49949&PID=1726902&title=canterbury-spearos-thread#1726902 <![CDATA[Canterbury Spearos Thread... : awesome thanks Barxi will be in...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49949&PID=1726878&title=canterbury-spearos-thread#1726878 Author: Lukek

Yep, training is every Tuesday night from 745pm at Graham Condon pool. All welcome. We do a range of lung expansion exercises, plus in pool training for breathhold, technique, fitness, aerobic, and safety. every weeks different so you'll get lots of good experiences that will make you more effective and safer when in the salt.]]> Sun, 06 May 2018 21:37:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49949&PID=1726096&title=canterbury-spearos-thread#1726096 <![CDATA[Canterbury Spearos Thread... : Lukek wrote:Hi Barxyou lot...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49949&PID=1725627&title=canterbury-spearos-thread#1725627 Author: Phantom Menace

Barx is still going strong.  They've formed a more "official" club and run safety inductions etc. now (to make sure they maintain access to pool space).

Don't think he's on here much lately but have a look for NZ Spearo Community on FB.  (or let me know and I can connect you with him)

Thanks Brenden, not over often - a couple of times a year at most. My GF is from Christchurch (we are in Sydney). We are planning our next trip and was trying to work out if Kaikoura should be on the list as the Banks kind of put me off. Great to hear that Kaikoura is better!! 

If I get there soonish I will definitely send you a text, but it might be around Easter. 

Cheers
Matt
