Presuda dolazi iz sedam čimbenika vode i sigurnosnih blokada — a ne iz deset kartica. Ići ili ne.
Kako ocjenjujemo more
Naš vlastiti model
Naš vlastiti motor prognoze — nije widget treće strane. Vaga ove čimbenike vode u jednu presudu «ići ili ne» za ovu obalu; brojčanik od 0 do 10 upravo je ta presuda, iskazana brojem.
01
Valovi i pamćenje mora
Visina, period i smjer valova, uz trag nedavnih oluja — stara oluja još muti vodu, a motor to pamti.
02
Vjetar i udari
Brzina i udari, sat po sat — jačina vjetra i pritisak s pučine razbijaju površinu i režu vidljivost.
03
Faza plime
Vrijeme i raspon plime, kalibrirani po obali — velike sizigijske plime vuku presudu prema oprezu.
04
Temperatura mora
Temperatura površine — izrazito hladno more stavlja veto na zelenu presudu.
05
Struje i istjecanje
Smjer i snos struje — nosi te i vuče mutnu priobalnu vodu onamo gdje roniš.
06
Oborine i prozirnost zraka
Kiša muti vodu uz obalu ispiranjem s kopna, a magla i sumaglica režu vidljivost na površini.
07
Oblik obale i izloženost
Kako je obala okrenuta prema valovima — zaklonjena uvala drži vodu bistrom; izloženi rt na udaru dobiva kaznu.
Sigurnosne blokade
Prognoza grmljavinskog nevremena — trenutačno crveno, bez iznimke.
Službeno upozorenje (MeteoAlarm / IPMA) — žuto, a na višim razinama crveno.
Nedostaju ulazni podaci — moguće zeleno spušta se na žuto umjesto da se precijeni.
Snažno neslaganje prognostičkih modela — zeleni dan vraća se na žuto.
Noćni sati — gdje je noćni podvodni ribolov zabranjen zakonom prozor je prisilno crven; gdje je legalan (Australija izvan NSW-a, Novi Zeland, Južna Afrika) zaustavlja se na žutom, nikad zeleno.
Sve se svodi na jednu ocjenu od 0 do 10 i jednu presudu: ići ili ne.
Prognoza, ne jamstvo — zadnju riječ ima more.

Što je to
Pomorski instrument, idi / ne idi za solo lov.
spearo.app spaja vjetar, val, period vala, vidljivost, plimu, temperaturu vode i rizik u jednu ocjenu — idi na točku ili ne. Računa 7 dana unaprijed iz otvorenih pomorskih modela (Open-Meteo, IPMA), bez registracije i računa. Napravljen za solo podvodni ribolov sa stijena, gdje svaka greška skupo košta.
Uživo: 3016 točaka na 406 dionica obale — kopneni Portugal, Madeira i Azori.
Modeli određuju prozor. Hoćeš li ući, čita se tek na vodi: broji setove, prati udar mora na ulazu. Ako sumnjaš, ne ulaziš.
Ulazne točke
Gdje ući sa stijena.
Izviđene ulazne točke, obojene prema današnjem danu. Boja je stanje mora na točki, ne jamstvo: zapljuskivanje i sklizak ulaz procjenjuješ na licu mjesta.
Forget the level, it moves centimetres. The cape is about current: water squeezes past the point and speeds up there, and it does not always run the way the surface suggests. Throw the buoy in before you kit up and watch where it goes — if it walks away from the boat faster than you can swim, the day is over.
zaklon
A cape on the southern side of Agistri, with the island's wooded ridge at your back. That ridge is what shelters you: the summer meltemi out of the north crosses Agistri and drops onto the far side, leaving the southern faces workable. The cape itself sticks out, so one side of it is always more sheltered than the other.
uvjeti
North and north-east are the days to come. With a settled southerly, and especially anything with west in it, the swell wraps round the point and both faces churn — that is when the cape stops being a spot and becomes a washing machine. Even a moderate wind matters more here, because you will be working in current.
opasnost
The real risk is being carried off the point into open water with nobody watching — work with a partner and keep the boat following you, not anchored. Our map pin here is approximate, so read the shape of the cape on the day rather than trusting a coordinate. Grouper is one fish per day, and the daily cap is 5 kg.
pristup
Boat only, and a boat that stays with you: this is drifting work, not anchoring work. From Skala or Megalochori it is a short hop round the south of Agistri; Perdika is the other side of the channel. Coordinates for this cape are approximate, so give yourself time to run the shoreline and pick the point by eye before you get wet.
Cape wall/slope with strong currents and resident big fish, boat; advanced, a current caveat. Coords approx.
Tide is not a factor — a few tens of centimetres. Depth is: the bottom drops away right at the rock, which is why boats moor here in deep water. The current across the narrow strait between Doroussa and Agistri is usually mild, but it sets along the hull, so it will carry your float away from you while you are down.
zaklon
Doroussa is an uninhabited rock south-west of Agistri, split from it by a narrow strip of water. Agistri's pine ridge stands between the site and the north, so the south-western face where the wreck lies keeps its lee through the meltemi. Open the other way: anything from the south-west runs in across open Saronic water.
uvjeti
North and north-east are your days — the ridge holds and the water over the wreck stays clear enough to see the hull shape from the surface on a good morning. With south or south-west the site closes: chop over deep water, the boat will not sit on the mooring, and you lose the reference you need on a deep drop.
opasnost
The wreck is deep: the bow starts around 17–18 m, the propeller sits at 41 and the bottom of it reaches 48. On a breath-hold you have the shallow end and nothing more — no penetration, ever. The plating is corroding and drops from ceilings, the edges cut, and a man died here in 2004. Scuba with a gun is banned in Greece anyway.
pristup
Boat only. From Skala or Megalochori on Agistri it is a short run round the south side; from Perdika it is longer, across open water. Use the permanent mooring buoy on the wreck rather than dropping an anchor into the hull. If you come down from Piraeus, remember that all fishing off western Salamina, spearguns included, is banned year-round.
Rocky islet off Aponisos plus the modern Avantis III wreck (2004) ~25–30 m, boat; wind-sheltered SW, a modern hull, spearable.
The level here moves a few tens of centimetres and means nothing. What you actually plan around is the current in the 500 m channel between the cape and the islet: it builds through the day, runs hardest off the two tips, and after several days of meltemi it keeps pushing even when the surface looks dead.
zaklon
Moni sits about 500 m off the Perdika cape and works as its own breakwater. The bulk of Aegina stands between you and the north, so the summer meltemi passes over the top and leaves the south and west faces of the islet flat. Anything from the south-west arrives with nothing in the way.
uvjeti
Go with north or north-east, right through the meltemi: Aegina takes it and the islet's south side stays workable with the good visibility the place is known for. With south or south-west, stay home — the swell wraps both ends of the islet, the rock face churns and you lose the clarity that makes the crossing worth it.
opasnost
Moni is a declared protected natural area — a park with deer and peacocks, run with organised landings. No blanket ban on hunting the water sits in our register, but check with the Aegina port authority before you go and do not step ashore. Stay 200 m off the organised beach and its swimmers.
pristup
Realistically this is boat work: your own hull or a RIB out of Perdika, ten minutes across, twenty from Aegina town. The passenger kaikia will not take you out with a gun. Drop in on the outer side, away from the beach, and let the boat hold the buoy line while you work along the rock. Aegina Divers in town is the landmark.
SW off Perdika (~500 m off the cape), vertical rock, a seal cave, building currents, good viz, boat; the S/SW summer lee and best Aegina structure, high boat traffic.
The one thing that moves here is the channel flow between the Perdika headland and Moni, and it runs right over the reef line. On a windless morning it is the only current you will meet, and it is enough to walk your float off the reef head you were working. Level itself is irrelevant, as everywhere in this sea.
zaklon
This is the reef band running out from the Perdika headland towards Moni, and its shelter comes from two directions at once: Aegina behind it against the north, Moni ahead of it against anything the channel throws back. It is more exposed than the village beach, though — out here you feel a wind the shore does not.
uvjeti
North and north-east days again, but the tolerance is narrower than on the beach: a moderate southerly already makes the boat snatch on its anchor over the reef, and once you cannot hold a stable position above a reef head the fish see you first. Sea bream and gilthead sit tight when the water is stirred.
opasnost
This strip is the busiest water on the island: the Perdika–Moni kaikia cross it all day, plus water taxis, day-cruise boats and yachts running for the anchorage. Your buoy is mandatory and you stay inside 50 m of it. Never surface in the middle of the lane — from a fast hull a head in the water is invisible until it is too late.
pristup
Out of Perdika harbour it is a few minutes in a small boat or a RIB, and that is how this one is worked. Anchor on sand between the reef heads, never on the reef itself, and put the boat where an approaching hull will see it side-on. You can swim out from the coast, but the crossing puts you in the boat lane and it is not worth it.
SW Aegina fishing village, reefs toward Moni; sea bream and gilthead, boat traffic.
Level does nothing here. Two other things do: after a few days of meltemi the water pushed round the island comes back along this shore as a slow drift, and after rain the runoff from the village road lays a brown, warm band over the shallows that can take a day to clear. There is also a light pull at the mouth of the small bay.
zaklon
The village shore faces south, straight at Moni, with the whole island behind you. That mass is the shelter: the north wind that closes the far side of Aegina never reaches the water here. What does reach it is anything from the south and south-west, coming in across the open channel with no cape to break it.
uvjeti
This is your bad-weather fallback: with north or north-east, even a hard one, the water in front of the village lies flat. With south or south-west it is the opposite — the shore break works the rock and sand shallows, the sand stays in the water, and on three or four metres of depth you end up looking at your own hands.
opasnost
The village quay is where the Moni kaikia load, and you have to keep 200 m off harbour works, moored boats and anyone swimming. Local fishermen set nets along this shore and mark them — 200 m from the marks as well. On a shore entry the buoy is not optional: a small boat coming into the bay will see it long before it sees you.
pristup
Nine kilometres of asphalt from Aegina town brings you into Perdika; park in the village and walk to the water. There is no wide sand here — you get in off rocks and slabs, so wear boots and pick a slot you can climb back out of with fish in your hand. Everything worth working is within a slow swim of the entry.
SOLO je najveći rizik: pod vodom možeš izgubiti svijest od nedostatka kisika, tiho i sa smrtnim ishodom, bez nikoga u blizini. Solo nikad nije stvarno «sigurno». Ispod su najbolji vremenski prozori; nosi bovu, nekome reci plan i vrijeme izlaska, i pri bilo kakvoj sumnji — ne idi.

Zakon
✓⚠️ MAY — a TOTAL spearfishing ban for the whole month, every year (ΠΔ 373/1985, art. 3§1α). This is law in force, not a draft.
✓No licence required: the was abolished in 2014 (Ν. 4256/2014) — every standing prohibition stays in force all the same.
•Recreational-fisher registry (ΟΣΠΑ / Μητρώο Ερασιτεχνών Αλιέων): Reg. (EU) 2023/2842 obliges member states to register recreational fishing, and the Greek registry is described as being prepared. We found neither an act in force nor a working registry as of 08.2026 — not confirmed. Check gov.gr before you travel.
✓Age: 16+ (under-16 spearfishing is forbidden; ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§1γ).
✓Daytime only: sunrise to sunset. Night is forbidden (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§1β).
✓Freediving only: scuba/any air-supply apparatus is banned — it may not even be carried aboard (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2γ).
✓Distances: ≥200 m from bathers, harbours, moored vessels and marked nets; no hunting in fairways or harbour entrances/exits (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§1δ/ε).
✓Buoy MANDATORY: a yellow float + a yellow flag with a red diagonal stripe and the letters «Υ.Δ.», visible from ≥300 m; stay within 50 m of the buoy (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§3).

✓Load the speargun only in the water — never keep it loaded out of the water (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2β). Underwater light while hunting is forbidden (art. 3§2ζ).
✓Sea urchins — 20/day per person and 30/day per boat (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 2§2). Nets at any stage of the hunt are banned, and you may not take the catch out of somebody else's gear or nets (art. 3§2). Sponges and corals are off limits to the recreational fisher (art. 1§6).
✓Pneumatic and band guns are ALLOWED (a myth in English guides). Only spears with an explosive/chemical charge — — are banned (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2δ).
Min. sizes: seabass 25 cm · gilthead 20 cm · white seabream 23 cm · grouper 45 cm · octopus 750 g (ΠΔ 62/2024). Any fish — not under 150 g (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2στ). No-size species (dentex, amberjack, barracuda, parrotfish) — the 150 g minimum only. See the species card.
Sigurnosni protokol
Setovi: prati nizove valova ≥15 min prije ulaska; Hmax ≈ 2×Hs, zapljuskivanje može ići 50 m dalje od linije pjene. Zatišje >10 min uz period >12 s = veliki set koji «kasni», NE ulazi; uđi odmah nakon što prođe cijeli set i provjeri ponovno u 30. minuti.
Izlaz PRVO: nađi izlaz I rezervni prije ulaska. Na kamenitoj obali ili obali s gromadama porast mrtvog mora od 0,5 m može onemogućiti izlazak — ostati zaglavljen/bez izlaza glavni je ubojica.
Struja na rtu: na izbočenim rtovima često postoji stalna topografska povratna struja, bez obzira na model — lociraj je, ulazi/izlazi s privjetrine, nikad ne plivaj protiv nje.
Hladnoća: neopren prema prikazanoj SST; prvi drhtaj = skok metabolizma i pad apneje → izađi na prvi ustrajni drhtaj. Ispod 15 °C ograniči izlazak na 45–60 min.
Disciplina u solo ronjenju: bova gore; nekome reci lokaciju i vrijeme izlaska; konzervativna apneja (nikad ne forsiraj u hladnoj/mutnoj/uzburkanoj vodi); vidljivost <3 m — ne ulazi.
Poslijepodnevni vjetar: na mnogim obalama vjetar jača od podneva — planiraj izlazak iz vode do podneva; kad se digne kratki val — izlazi.
UV 11:00–15:00 (UV indeks ≥6): krema za sunce i pokrij se u pauzama na površini.
Solo je temeljni rizik (hipoksični gubitak svijesti bez partnera). Bilo kakva sumnja = ne ide se.
Česta pitanja — podvodni ribolov u Aegina
Gdje se roni u podvodnom ribolovu u Aegina?
Aegina ima ulaze sa stijena poput Moni islet, Doroussa islet + Avantis III wreck i Cape Skilomaga (S Agistri). The easy Saronic day-trip island: mixed rock/sand 3–20 m, viz 10–15 m, forgiving grounds good for learning. Ispod je svaki punkt (pristup, zaklon i opasnosti) i današnja prognoza.
Koja je najbolja sezona u Aegina?
Long season, June to October (May is the national closed month). The sheltered Saronic opens on most calm mornings; peak is high summer.
Kolika je temperatura mora u Aegina?
Warm mediterranean water (~24–26 °C in summer, ~15 °C in winter), tideless; clear over rock but murkier near Athens' shores.
Je li podvodni ribolov u Aegina pogodan za početnike?
Easy access and mostly sheltered water — a good place to start, with rocky capes and islets a short hop from the city.
Treba li dozvola u Aegina?
No paid licence is needed in Aegina — the amateur one was abolished (Law 4256/2014), but a free ΟΣΠΑ registration is being introduced (check gov.gr). Breath-hold only (no scuba), a mandatory «Υ.Δ.» buoy, 16+, daytime only, and the whole of May is closed. See the guide.
Which fish can you spear in Aegina?
The species cards list 22 species with real presence in this basin; the strongest here are šarag, hobotnica, kirnja glavulja, zubatac, pagar i orada. Minimum sizes in Greece are NATIONAL, not local: šarag 23 cm · kirnja glavulja 45 cm · pagar 18 cm · orada 20 cm · lubin 25 cm · ovčica 20 cm · konj 25 cm · hobotnica 750 g. Species with no EU size carry the 150 g floor only. Grouper (Epinephelus) — max 1/day, not banned (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 2§2).
Is spearfishing banned in May in Aegina?
Yes. May is a TOTAL spearfishing ban for the whole month, every year, across Greece (ΠΔ 373/1985, art. 3§1α) — so in Aegina too. It is law in force, not a draft, and there is no local exemption. Plan June to April.
How many kilos of fish may I keep per day in Aegina?
The daily limit is 5 kg, or one trophy heavier than the limit (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 2§2). Grouper (Epinephelus) — max 1/day. Every fish must be at least 150 g (art. 3§2στ), and selling a recreational catch is prohibited (art. 1§7). The limit is national — in Aegina it is the same as everywhere in Greece.
✓Full ban on taking: Pinna nobilis (πίννα), corals and sponges (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 1§6 + Habitats Directive 92/43).
✓Invasives: taking the lionfish (λεοντόψαρο) is encouraged — ⚠️ venomous spines. The silver-cheeked toadfish (λαγοκέφαλος) ☠️ DO NOT EAT — deadly toxin (TTX), sale banned (Reg. 853/2004, Annex III Sect. VIII Ch. V(E)), it bites. The rabbitfish (γερμανός) is edible — venomous spines.
✓In ANY declared underwater archaeological site, and in the submerged historic sites, spearfishing is BANNED — the act names ψαροντούφεκο in so many words (ΚΥΑ ΥΠΠΟ/ΓΔΑΠΚ/ΑΡΧ/Α1/Φ41/11228/1865, ΦΕΚ 336/Β/2004, part Α §2 δ + part Β). It reaches the sites our map does not draw, too. Do not touch antiquities (Ν. 3028/2002). Map of the zones — the ENALIA geoportal (thalchor-2.ypen.gov.gr/layers/geonode:ENALIA).
•The national marine parks of Alonissos/N. Sporades and Zakynthos (Laganas): spearfishing is BANNED in the park. But Alonissos zone Β4 is not solid — ΦΕΚ 1741/Β/2011 reopened four stretches inside it (the N shore Αγ. Δημήτριος–Άκρο Απύθμενο, Μηλιά–Σπαρτίνες, όρμος Κλήμα on Περιστέρα, the Μεγάλος Αδελφός shore), while the same act creates the ΕΕΑΧ Περιστέρας, where fishing IS banned. Our layer paints the park whole, i.e. stricter than the act. Check the limits with the park authority.
•The Southern Kynouria/Arcadia diving park: Ν. 4688/2020 establishes underwater parks, but we have not read a spearfishing prohibition inside it in the act — we treat that as NOT PROVEN rather than as confirmed. The park's boundary is not on our map either (the act publishes no coordinates). Ask the Leonidio/Tyros λιμεναρχείο before you go.
•Local bans: on top of the national rules, every port authority issues its own (ΓΚΛ/ΕΚΛ and λιμενάρχης decisions). In the ΛΣ-ΕΛ.ΑΚΤ registry we counted ~163 of them that reach a speargun, across 48 ports — our map does NOT draw them. Check your own port: alieia.hcg.gr/prohibitions/local/local17.php.
•Locally STRICTER than the national rule: Corfu (Kerkyra) — from 01.04 to 31.10 spearfishing is banned within 200 m of the shore, even where nobody is swimming (απόφαση Λ/Χ Κέρκυρας 2141.1/2939/2024, ΦΕΚ Β΄3269/2024). In practice that closes shore entry on Corfu for the season. We read the act in the registry, not in the ΦΕΚ — confirm with the λιμεναρχείο.
•Locally STRICTER: Lefkada — 300 m instead of 200, and not only the speargun: ψαροντούφεκο, nets and longlines are banned within 300 m of those sea areas, beaches and shores of the port district THAT ARE USED BY BATHERS (απόφαση Λ/Χ Λευκάδας 2131.13/1477/2022, in its own words «όπου χρησιμοποιούνται από λουόμενους»). The act ran to 30.09.2022 and we found no extension; an expired act is not proof that the ban is gone. Ask the Lefkada λιμεναρχείο.
•Locally STRICTER: Symi — from 15.06 to 15.09 fishing BY ANY MEANS is banned within 200 m of beach areas and in inhabited coastal areas WHERE BATHERS ARE PRESENT OR GATHER (απόφαση Λ/Χ Σύμης 2131.13/882/2016). Separately, year-round: fishing by any means is banned inside the port and its sea zone, except line/rod fishing from land (ΓΚΛ Σύμης, art. 151, ΦΕΚ 362/Β/2004). The acts were copied from the registry, not checked against the ΦΕΚ.
•Locally: inside the ports of Lavrio and Kea spearfishing is banned across the WHOLE port water, not merely under the 200 m rule; separately, in front of the hotel beaches (ΓΚΛ Λαυρίου, art. 240, ΦΕΚ 460/Β/1978). The act was copied from the registry, not checked against the ΦΕΚ.
•Coming: two new national marine parks are being created (Ionian + South Cyclades, ~27,500 km²). NOT yet in force (ΠΔ under review, mid-2026). Once live — a trawl ban + a seasonal coastal closure 15.04–31.05; in the strict zones spearfishing will be banned. Check before the season.
⛔ Pinna nobilis (πίννα, fan mussel) — full ban on taking/killing (Habitats Dir. 92/43 Annex IV; critically endangered).
Rules change, and the local Λιμεναρχείο (port authority) may impose local restrictions. Before heading out, check the current rules and the declared archaeological zones (ENALIA).
Can I spearfish on scuba in Aegina?
No. Freediving only: scuba and any air-supply apparatus are banned — they may not even be carried aboard (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2γ). In Aegina the rest of the national frame applies too: 16+, daytime only, ≥200 m from bathers, harbours, moored vessels and marked nets, and a mandatory «Υ.Δ.» buoy you stay within 50 m of. Pneumatic and band guns are allowed; only powerheads are banned.
