Hello all, my name is Aaron Baglietto and I am 25 years old.
I have been addicted to Spearfishing since the age of 6 and I haven't stopped practicing this magnificent hobby since.
It’s a really good sport as a hobby and you keep yourself fit at the same time you’re hunting your catches.
But it is a sport that you should practice with a partner and never alone.
You should have respect to the sea and always look at the conditions of the weather before going.
Most of all leave the small specimens to live and try and catch the big ones but the endangered species should never be caught as you can get a huge fine by the police.
I usually go two times a week with a friend to different locations in Gibraltar.
The location we choose will depend on the weather, the time of day and the tide.
For a junior who would like to start this hobby he or she will only need minimum kit, simple goggles and flippers will do, but for someone who would like to make it as a permanent hobby, then he or she will have to take into consideration the cost and what kit to buy.
In the summer you will only last one or two hrs without a wetsuit, but when winter comes a full wetsuit will be necessarily.
When it comes to using a spear gun he or she should be aware of the dangers and never mess about with it.
It must only be used when a good fish is in range. Here are some pictures of my catches :
