Spearfishing Equipment
When somebody has decided they want to start spearfishing, one of the first questions they always ask is, "what spearfishing equipment do I need?" Well there is a huge range of equipment available so choosing the right gear can seem a little unnerving. Hopefully, the following list will give you some idea of what is required to get started.
You can buy all of the stuff on the list at most dive shops or online.
Like most things in life, spearfishing equipment can cost a lot, so be careful what you buy to avoid paying too much.
This Is The List!
•Dive Mask and Snorkel
With a dive mask you can see underwater while breathing at the same time through the snorkel. Basically, you can't go spearfishing without these. I'd suggest something around $40-$80 would be ideal for a decent mask and snorkel. They are available in a combo or seperate.
•Stingersuits and Wetsuits
You need to wear a wetsuit or stingersuit underwater as you spearfish. They are an integral item of spearfishing equipment. A wetsuit insulates the diver against the cold and the stingersuit is useful in warmer water to prevent you getting stung by jellyfish as well as sunburn.
•Spearfishing Fins
Fins give divers the power to propel themselves through the water. There are two types of fins; the long bladed type that you slide your foot into, and the short blade type that has a strap for your heel to keep the fin on. Most freedivers prefer the longer blade type as they give you more power.
•Gloves
You need some of dive gloves or spearfishing gloves when you start spearfishing.They should definately be a part of spearfishing equipment. Fishing gloves are simple cotton gloves that have added grip to allow a diver to grap fish. The gloves are relatively cheap and do what you need them to do, however they do stretch after a few uses so it's best if you buy several pairs at a time. You generally only pay around $3-$5 for a pair.
Or you may wish to get yourself a decent pair of dive gloves. Dive gloves are made from much sturdier material and will last you for way longer than the basic fishing gloves. However they are more pricey than the cotton fishing gloves.
•Dive Knife
No spearo should go spearfishing unless they take a dive knife. Once you have speared a fish the dive knife is used to kill it so it is also a necessary piece of the spearfishing equipment puzzle.
•Speargun
The spearfishing tool of trade is the speargun.
Rubber powered spearguns are the most popular type of speargun, favoured by most spearfishers. Spearguns are available in a range of sizes suited to different underwater terrains and fish sizes. The bigger the fish you are targeting the bigger the speargun will need to be.
This list is by no means a full detailed assortment of every bit of spearfishing gear, it is a guide to help you get started.
