ADVERTISING DISCLAIMER

This Agreement was last modified on Feb 9th, 2025.

First off, you’re all legends. And so is spearfishing. Max Spearfishing is a labor of love, created to share the best gear and products for the sport we all can’t get enough of. Everything you’ll find on this site has either been personally tested by one of our team members or is something we genuinely, wholeheartedly recommend. The kind of recommendation you’d give your best mate or your little brother. No fluff, no rubbish—just the good stuff.

That being said, we sometimes earn a small commission through affiliate programs. These commissions help support the time and effort we put into keeping this website running and delivering the most useful content possible. And don’t worry—you don’t pay anything extra by using our links.

Here’s the full breakdown:

Affiliate Disclosure

Back in 2015, the FTC released rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are designed to ensure transparency, so viewers of online content—like you—understand when there’s a financial relationship behind a recommendation.

In short: websites like Max Spearfishing are required to disclose if we earn money through links, endorsements, or sponsored posts. We are fully committed to compliance with these guidelines, so please assume that any links to products or services on MaxSpearfishing.com are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission—at no additional cost to you.

What’s an affiliate link?

Think of it as a little thank-you note from the retailer. If you love one of the products we recommend and decide to buy it through our link, the retailer sends us a small commission from that sale. You pay the exact same price as you would otherwise. Whether you purchase through an affiliate link or go directly to the site, the price is the same for you.

On our website, we participate in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:

• Adorama (via Impact.com)
• Scuba.com
• ShareASale
• House of Scuba

These affiliate programs are advertising platforms that allow us to earn fees by promoting and linking to their products. What does this mean for you? If you click on a link to one of these sites and make a purchase, we’ll earn a small commission. These commissions help keep our website alive and kicking so we can keep sharing the best spearfishing advice with you.

How Affiliate Links Look on Our Site

You’ll spot affiliate links throughout the site. Sometimes they’re full URLs, like www.scuba.com/ or www.houseofscuba.com/, and sometimes they’re shortened links, like shrsl.com/ or bit.ly/. No matter what they look like, if you click one of these links and buy something within the tracking period (24 hours for Scuba.com, for example), we may earn a small commission from your purchase.

Specific product affiliates:

Many of the spearfishing products, training courses, and gear we recommend include affiliate links. These work the same way: if you click and buy, we earn a commission. This doesn’t affect the price you pay. In fact, using our affiliate links helps support Max Spearfishing without costing you a cent. Thanks for helping us keep the lights on.

What about sponsored content?

From time to time, we may publish sponsored posts. If a post is sponsored, we’ll clearly disclose it at the very beginning of the content (and use hashtags like #ad on social media). We’re all about transparency. Sponsored content will also only feature products or brands we believe in—stuff our team uses or would confidently recommend to our families and mates.

On the right-hand side of our website, you’ll also notice a section for paid sponsor ads. These companies pay for placement here, but again, we only feature products or services that align with our mission to provide the best spearfishing advice.

Our Commitment to You

Our ultimate goal is to help you have an epic time in the water. Whether you’re spearing your first fish or chasing trophy pelagics, we want you to have the right gear to get the job done. We’ll never recommend anything we don’t believe in. Every speargun, wetsuit, and piece of equipment we recommend has been tested or carefully researched so you can focus on what matters—catching fish and loving the sport.

Thanks for supporting Max Spearfishing. Every click helps us keep this site running, so we can share our love of spearfishing with legends like you.

Happy spearin’!
