License for Spain
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Apply through the fisheries authority of the relevant coastal Autonomous Community (online or in person). A medical certificate of fitness for underwater/free-diving (issued by a doctor qualified in hyperbaric/underwater medicine), or a valid federation licence covering the medical, plus suitable accident insurance, is generally required. ID (DNI for citizens; NIE/passport for foreigners) and payment of the regional fee are needed. Then install the MAPA PescaREC app, which is gated on holding an Autonomous-Community licence, and declare catches within 24 hours of the end of each session. MAPA publishes no closed species list: the app itself flags which species are declarable in the zone you are fishing. The separate 'autorización específica' for Annex II species is NOT required for the submarina mode (only for fishing from a vessel).
