Hey Guys, I am working in FInland for a couple of weeks over from the UK. I have bought some gear and wondering how easy it is to get out spearfishing. I understand I need to buy plenty of licences and permits.... Does nayone have any suggestions of where to go, or is anyone going out this weekend or next and prepared to take along an Englishman?

Cheers,

Patrick

This weekend there is a competition in Korppoo about 4 hours drive from Helsinki so most of the spearers are there. We go quite often sperfishing just front of Helsinki, perhaps you can join if someone is going next week. Problem is that the visibility is poor at the moment - hopefully will be better in a week or two, also there is not much fish awailable at the moment. Licenses are easy to get and cost about 12eur for a week.

Are there any good places for shore dives along the south coast?
