Safety Equipment

Safety Equipment is a key consideration when Spearfishing because it is an inherently dangerous sport. As such, it is a good idea to have the correct safety equipment for your diving and to help protect your dive buddy.

Whistles and mirrors are usually essential for spearfishing competitions and can be attached to your dive float, which is also essential for your safety. In rough conditions though, it is often not easy to see a float, even with a high vis colour and a flag as floats sit low in the water. That's why it's worth investing in a safety sausage that can be easily inflated and held high in the air making it easier for boats to spot you.

It's also advisable to dive with a spare knife for instances such as having your knife knocked out of your hand by a fish doing circles around you.. Shortly you'll end up in a know without any means to cut yourself loose.
