Interview with Michael Tropiano
Spearfishing Exmouth Western Australia
A bloody good chat with Marine Scientist, Eco-Tourism Operator, U/W photography enthusiast and mad keen Western Australia based spearo, Michael 'Tropi' Tropiano. We discuss Exmouth Western Australia spearfishing conditions, species and rules/regs.
Tropi came on my radar 6 months ago with a free e-book that he had created for people curious about spearfishing in his area (Noob Spearo Guide to Exmouth free). After checking it out, it was only a matter of time until I had to get him on the show.
