# Spearfishing/Freediving in PNG Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
jkuenzle95 17:10 UTC 30 Apr 2016 | Hey! I am interested in visiting PNG to spearfish. Is this possible? Where is it allowed? Are there any areas you could recommend to dive? If spearfishing isn't possible, I would just freedive. I can't find any maps of dive sites online or any information. Thanks! Jack |

So you can probably do it anywhere, subject to permission by local landowners. Obviously, if you choose to stay at a diveresort or similar tourist establishment, they may not be happy if you started killing fish on their housereef. | 1
