First time diving in Spain - World Spearfishing Championship

  • In the beginning of September, the world spearfishing championship were hosted in Spain, and I was representing Norway.
    We had a couple of days with scouting before the competition, but the conditions shifted to the extend that we had to relearn pretty much everything. Also I've never dived south of Norway before, definitely not an advantage.
    Still, competitions like this is a great way to gather new insights in the sport, and meet old and new friends. Had an absolute blast, and its a memory I'll think of for years to come.
    Hope you enjoy it!

    Respect. It is not easy visiting a new environment and competing with the locals.

      Definitely not, which made the silver from NZ and bronze for Tahiti incredible to witness! Gonna have to take the hole hunting with me this winter in Norway, ling is too good to only catch once a year;)

    It's the 'taking part' that counts. Well filmed and good story telling. 👍

    una bonita experiencia y excelentes condiciones en el Cantabrico, un fusil monogoma de 90 es lo ideal en esas aguas

      Sí, fue tanto hermoso como desafiante. Suena inteligente, pero el mejor fusil es el que has usado más, ¡y este lleva 5 años resistiendo! (translate)

      @@AkselOrstavik indudablemente, pero seguro que Santi pescó con un 90 o 80, salvo que vayas exclusivamente a dentones o corvinas, los 80-90 son los más polivalentes y prácticos en esas aguas

      Gopro 9 med undervannshus:) kan fås ganske rimelig på Finn! Klokka er en Garmin Descent Mk2s, kombinert dykke- og sportsklokke som jeg svidde av dimmepengene på noen år tilbake:)

      It’s called Sporttube, they’re amazing for diving gear. Got it from Frivannsliv in Norway, but I think you have to buy from the brand itself from the states
