Walking into a spearfishing store to find the best speargun for beginners is hard. Especially when you’re new to spearfishing, there are so many options, so many different types, made with different materials – it’s all somewhat confusing. So in this spearfishing guide, I want to share my thoughts on the best speargun for a […]
What’s the best speargun you can buy? It’s a question I get asked a lot, considering I’ve spent the better part of the last 30 years in the water, chasing countless fish around with a speargun. And with spearfishing getting more and more popular, I want to help you get the best spearfishing gear. So […]
When I’m travelling, finding the best roof racks for spearguns to keep mine close, secure and out of sight has always been a challenge. And after getting two guns stolen from our camp a few months ago, I wanted to build a permanent solution that’d securely pack these away at night. Because the jackals had […]

I used to have all sorts of trouble finding a beginner’s spearfishing mask. You’d be shocked at how many I went through when learning to spearfish. Because I really struggled to find a mask for beginners with the perfect fit. Perhaps I’m just fussy (or a little like Goldilocks). But I’d rather replace a wrong […]
I started spearfishing with a pole spear, a mask and a pair of snorkeling fins. These days, I have a lot more spearfishing equipment, but I also catch a lot more fish. For a beginner, the amount of spearfishing gear you need to go spearing can seem overwhelming. Then there’s all the different brands, and […]
Catching a fish is one thing. But it’s not really yours until you’ve made it back to the boat or dry land. In the meantime, you need to use a spearfishing stringer to secure your catch. When I first started I always used a net bag. It was only a few dollars from my local […]
The first time I strapped a dive knife for spearfishing to my leg I felt invincible. I was 15 years old, and it was a second-hand blade I picked up at a garage sale for $2. Unlucky for me it wasn’t actually all that secure in the sheath, and it promptly slid out to be […]
