Does anyone know how to make a powerful underwater light to use whilst in apnea?
I have seen some Malta made one's and they are very good.
In Thanking You before hand
Mellieha
Buy a led lenser torch ;)

buy the beuchat led torch. Its not expensive and the batteries you will forget them
It depends what you mean by powerful?????
You mean for night?????????? >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Or you mean a powerful portable one, for cracks in the morning 8)
What I want is a powerful underwater light to use for night fishing.
I thank everyone for his help.
Night hunting (apnea) is illegal my friend. As emic can tell you it can be much nicer during the day and as producitve as night.
I hope you dont take this as an offence but you might not know and will now consider it again!
There is no sense in spearfishing during the night mellieha , there is no technique what so ever. There is more pride while spearfishing in day time .
I agree with FabrizioViper. ;)
me too no dive's at night i' don't see it a chalenge at night. spearfishing only during the day ;)
That's why I asked you Mellieha >:(
Do you think that here we are going to tell you how to break the law, and spoil our sport ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Call it what you want, but what you practice is neither spearfishing and not even apnea, and I really cannot undersatand, what satisfaction does it give you???
Anyway no offence towards you in person, but you must understant that we do not tollerate such things in this forum.
Take this as a lesson please.
Take it easy guys!! mabye mellieha didn't know that it was illegal!! now he knows guys!! we are hear to learn from each other
If I were you I wouldn't practice night underwater fishing Mellieha. Apart from being illegal, like Lapsi boy and others told you, it sometimes can become even dangerous to do. Besides, where's the challenge of the "aspetto" and all the rest?
blinding fish with a torch and shooting sleeping fish is not very sporty ...plus as the others said ...it's illegal.
Try daytime...you will be surprised of the satisfaction of the challenge.
You will find help on this forum on how to achieve nice catches during daytime.
Wow Mellieha you touched a delicate matter. I don't envy you my friend
hey mellieha do not get offended by the comments, we are just pointing out the law and the reason we take this so much to heart we do not want our sport to be branded as has happened with hunting in malta. quite a few of us take it very seriously and spend days on end training and fishing for just the pleasure of it.
Give this guy (mellieha) a chance to explain himself , maybe he didn't know that is illegal to go spearfishing at night,personally I go spearfishing for years and I've learned that spearfishing at night is illegal from a topic in this forum about two months ago and not from the autorithies who make the laws

this is why I didn t made any reply. Still lots of word getting around but no one and even the authority had ever came on me telling telling me the rules. We just go and pay.
But heared that this year while paying the licence the police is giving some papers regards the laws
Some members, (especially ones I do not know personally) ask some silly questions sometimes, and think that we will answer whatever they ask for!! Maybe he was asking us this intentionally!!!!!!!!!!
That's why I gave him a straightforward answer. Love me or hate me, I always express my genuine feeling.
And to tell you the truth, even if it was legal, I still find spearfishing at night cowardish.
Now if this guy, asked this question without knowing anything about this hot issue, i excuse myself with him for being so hard, but its nothing personal and he can continue enjoying the benefits of this forum freely. No heart feelings
damn right baghira
Baghira you are a thief...you took my role... :) LOL
I thought I was the raw and crude one... weep...weep
Anyways I can understand perfectly your feelings and the way you expressed yourself...cause that is exacly how I felt when I read this thread.
Dear Friends,
Sorry for asking such a non sense. What I know is that from experience I see many spearfishers at night. I never even imagined it was illegal.
Personally I have never tried spearfishing before apart from spearfishing from our boat for hniezer beneat my own cimi (kanizati).
As I previously tried to explain I am new to spearfishing due to cercumstances I had to adapt myself.
I was impressed by some comments, well let me say that some were justfied in the greater good of the sport but try to give others a chance to explain themselves.
If I may suggest why doesn't someone knowledgable of the laws post the laws in a permanent way on the web site. Not only the one's relating to spearfishing but laws pertaining to fishing in general. In this way someone like me would not have any excuses of not knowing the law. (although ignorance of the law is no excuse).
waiting for your replies
Mellieha
Adrian Cauchi
that s a good reply melliehi. As I said before no one had ever came on me telling the laws how they are. Hope some one can help better

I think it is a fantastic idea...
What do you think Skip???
Dear Guys,
I invite those of you will not believe my intentions to send me a pm to meet and explain better.
I would like to ask baghrija why yo think I asked that question intentionally?? Do you think I have some sort of hidden agenda?? Put your mind at rest that my only intention is to be able to practice spearfishing safe and soundly.
Being ignorant and asking A QUESTION IS BETTER THAN BREAKING THE LAW?
ADRIAN
ur right mellieha!! im sure you didn't do it intentionally!!
Intollerance and Doubt are the work of the devil..........as the good book said Bagira..'' dont do unto others what Spnotta did unto u'' and I hope that Spnotta takes this lightly otherwise I would have opened the gates of H....
Kidding of course.
At the forum we should never ever doubt or accuse anyone of something that we are not sure of. Its done its cleared lets move on. Rules can be posted if anyone has them like we did with the fish sizes. Although it still needs some tuning.
Peace to all at the forum.
Give baghira a break...it was just an emotive post...as he said he just wrote what he felt at the moment.
Shanook I like the anology :)
...I learnt my lesson...I get misinterpreted very easily and my real intention, opinion and feelings get lost. No beating about the bush...straight to the point :)
I am not justifying any of the posts but you have to look at the two sides...and understand the background.
Unfortunately time is not currently my friend...I really would like to contribute more in regards to regulations/directives and law. :)
Hopefully in the near future.
Naaaaaaaaa dont worry spnotta baghira has been here long enough to know that what we say is in good faith and between friends. He better otherwise we start pulling his leg (he pulls others most of the time anyways).
So any takers to get the rules for spearfishing sorted out.
baghira is a devil. if you are a woman you can understand better :D :D :D

Can someone please translate ;D ;D
Mellieha, as I clearly explained, I was clear enough and if you paid your yearly license fee, you should have seen the License conditions:
A harpoon may only be kept for the intended use as a fsihing implement.
A harpoon may only be carried outside premises for the use in conjunction with the fushing purposes and it is to be carried to and from the premises and the fishing site by the shortest available route.
A harpoon may not be used in conjunction with aqualungs.
A harpoon may not be used at night (between sunset and sunrise)
I did not offend anyone by any words, and I also excused myself If you took it hard, but I did not know you// or your intentions!! Now that I have a name, that's a better picture.......So topic is over.
You will for sure meet me, or write me in another post and see that i am more like ;D than >:( so..........................
Nice meeting you mate, and by the way (silvio is my name).
this is why i have tried to start new members with this topic.

Dear EmicMalta,
you are right I should have introduced myself better.
I will try to remedy to this mistake by writing something more about myself.
In Thanking All of You
Adrian Cauchi
I can confirm what Baghira said cause today I paid the license and the rules are written on the license paper. The rules are given by EU law regulations 932847
I should be buying a new harpoon this week and i nwill pay everything alltogether.
Thanks for the info.
Mellieha, I know you and your cousin and I can assure all our MFF friends that you're not one of those guys who fish illegally or catch small fish. I'm sure that here you will find a lot of friends who will guide you to start this new hobby in the correct and legal way.
take care and welcome in our Fantastic and helpful forum MFF ;D
I know bringing this up from the past is nostalgic but I feel I must say the following, I heard a while back:
