No Bluewater Spearfishing

Till my arrival I asked for three thinks, bluewater spearfishing, freediving and finding
the guys from the Youtube video I saw, harpooning Mahi Mahi.
Best price for spearfishing was 150NZD for 3-4hours, driving from FAD(Fish aggregation
devices) to FAD. Still expensive, but compared to others, 400-600NZD still a good deal.
Problem was/is that the waves are very big at the moment and everyone is telling me,
that this will not be fun. So still waiting for better weather.

For freediving, the only chance is doing the passages (tried some in the south, but again
the current was strong and its not worst it I thought) going out dedicated (the diving operaters
will charge me 100NZD) or going with some scubas on the same trip. For that thy will charge
me after some bargaining, 30NZD. For nearly three hours, absolutely fair.
But the problem with the last option is, only one dive operater is offering me that
and he had no customers at the moment :(

And the harpooning thing... What I found out is that one of the guys left the Island back
to New Zealand and the other one, Kevin "Salam/Salan", I did not reach/find.
Nearly everyone knows him, I also got his phone number, but seems to be not my week,
finding him. But even if I will find him, same with bluewater spearfishing, very choppy###
outside.
