Choosing your setup

How to Choose Spearfishing Gear

The best setup depends on where you dive, the species you target, your experience and how each item fits together as a complete system.

Choosing a Speargun

Choose a speargun around local visibility, target species, dive environment and your experience. Length and configuration affect handling, loading and suitability for different environments. Check that the gun, shaft, rubbers, shooting line and reel are compatible before changing individual components.

Spearguns

Choosing a Spearfishing Wetsuit

Choose a wetsuit around water temperature, time in the water, entry method and whether you prefer a one-piece or two-piece design. A close, comfortable seal helps reduce water movement, while loading pads and reinforced high-wear panels can suit regular spearfishing use.

Spearfishing wetsuits

Choosing Fins & Foot Pockets

Spearfishing and freediving fins use longer blades to support efficient movement underwater. Blade material and stiffness affect how a fin feels, while foot-pocket fit is critical for comfort and power transfer. Match your fins with suitable socks and your diving style.

Spearfishing fins

Floats, Lines & Rigging

A float system improves surface visibility and gives you a platform for flags, accessories and selected catch-management setups. Float lines, reels, shooting line, crimps, bridles and rubbers should be compatible with the rest of your equipment. Inspect rigging regularly.

Spearfishing Rules & Safety in Australia

Spearfishing closures, permitted equipment, licences, protected species, bag limits and size limits vary across Australia. Check the current rules for the state or territory and the exact area you intend to dive before entering the water.

  • Never spearfish alone. Dive with a capable buddy and agree on supervision and recovery procedures.
  • Use a highly visible float and flag, and keep clear of swimmers, boats and other water users.
  • Check weather, currents, access, marine park zones, species rules, size limits and possession limits before entering.

Spearfishing questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful starting points for choosing equipment and preparing to dive. Speak with the ADRENO team for advice based on your local conditions and experience.

What gear do I need to start spearfishing?

A beginner setup normally includes a well-fitting mask, snorkel, fins, exposure protection, a suitable speargun or hand spear, weights, a visible float and float line, and a cutting tool. Exact requirements depend on local rules and where you dive. See our beginner spearfishing gear guide.

How do I choose the right speargun?

Choose a speargun around your experience, local visibility, target species and the structure you dive around. Length and configuration affect handling, loading and suitability for different environments. Ask the ADRENO team to check gun, shaft, rubber, rigging and reel compatibility before changing a setup.

What thickness spearfishing wetsuit should I wear?

Wetsuit thickness depends on water temperature, dive duration, wind, entry method and personal cold tolerance. Fit is just as important as thickness because excessive water movement can reduce warmth. Compare our spearfishing wetsuits or speak with the team about your usual dive location.

Do I need long fins for spearfishing?

Long-blade fins are popular for freediving and spearfishing because they are designed for efficient movement through the water. The right blade material and stiffness depend on your technique, body size, depth and diving style. Correct foot-pocket fit is essential for comfort and power transfer.

Do I need a float and dive flag?

A visible float and flag can help identify your position to other water users and may be required in some areas. Requirements vary by state, territory and location, so check the current fisheries and boating rules before diving. A float system can also support float lines and selected accessories.

Can I spearfish anywhere in Australia?

No. Marine parks, closure areas, permitted equipment, protected species, licences, bag limits and size limits vary by jurisdiction and location. Review the relevant government rules and local notices before every trip, even when you have dived the area before.

How should I care for spearfishing equipment?

Rinse equipment with fresh water after use, dry it away from harsh direct sunlight and inspect rubbers, bridles, shooting line, crimps, shafts, buckles and straps for wear. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions and replace damaged or heavily worn parts before the next dive.
