If you love snorkeling and fishing there is a good chance that you will enjoy spearfishing. A lot of people who get into the sport get hooked (pun unintended!) very quickly. The thing is though, rather than going out and buying the best gear that is out there for spearfishing and then finding out that maybe you don’t really like the sport, you need to get some starting gear. A lot of people already have snorkeling gear, and if you enjoy that as a sport there is a good chance the gear that you have will do until you start getting very serious with your spearfishing.
One of the biggest expenses with Spearfishing is buying a gun. You can buy Cheap Spearguns for under $50, but they often don’t work that well. Still, they are better than nothing and are often a good start. I learned spearfishing and got into the sport by using a Pole Spear, which is much cheaper and much less likely to go wrong. Sure, you might not be able to land huge fish with them, but they are enough to give you a taste of what spearfishing is like. I know the first decent gun I purchased blew me away. I could barely load it, and the spear shot very quickly.
The great thing about spearfishing is that it costs very little to go out each time, meaning you can justify spending a bit more on a good gun and a good wetsuit. These two things are the most important, and then your fins can be upgraded. You also need a good knife, a float or spearfishing reel, depending on what sort of fish you are trying to shoot. Spearfishing has had such a bad rap in the past few decades, when in reality it is one of the most ecological types of fishing, it doesn’t cost much to do and it isn’t overly risky either. I can’t recommend spearfishing more; its an awesome sport.
