There is no such rule or regulation in Qatar about Spear Fishing. It's been controversial for a past 10 years here in Qatar but still a lot of people do spear fish while using scuba gear. A lot of environmentalist complain about it including BSAC/DSAC and our group Pinoy Divers http://qa.pinoydiver.org . In short sad to say it is legal....
It is not really fair if you use Scuba Gear while spear fishing, it's like stabbing a person on back!
For us in group we are trying to orient scuba divers not to spear fish while using scuba.
But still it's not to late if we can organize as one and make a complain to the Qatar Government and do some posting in news paper maybe this time they will listen and support us for this campaign.
If any guys are interested let me know my num is 5086973 and I will bring me entire group to support it.
