License for Hong Kong
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Apply to the Arms Licensing Section of the Hong Kong Police Force for a licence for possession of arms. Recreational sea fishing itself needs no fishing licence; freshwater reservoir fishing (not spearfishing) is licensed separately by the Water Supplies Department.
