Spearfishing

Spearfishing

Min number of participants 1
Age 16+ yrs.
Safety support by adult Required
Min duration 1 h
Cost Medium
Environment Outdoor

Dive beneath the surface with a spear gun or pole spear, hold your breath, and stalk fish in their own environment — a primal, patient form of underwater hunting that rewards skill, stealth, and ocean knowledge.

The Essentials

Rules

  • Never dive alone; always use the buddy system with a partner watching from the surface.
  • Only breath-hold dive within your trained limits, and never spearfish while scuba diving in most jurisdictions, since combining the two is illegal in many places.
  • Check local regulations for licensing, protected species, size and bag limits, and marine protected areas before you go.
  • Only take a shot you are confident will be a clean, immediate kill to avoid injuring fish that escape.

Tips

  • Practice breath-holding and equalization on land and in a pool before attempting open-water dives.
  • Move slowly and stay low in the water, since sudden movement scares fish away long before you get in range.
  • Keep your speargun pointed at the seabed, never at another diver or boat, at all times.
  • Learn to identify local fish species so you can distinguish legal game fish from protected ones.
