What's in my dive bag for spearfishing?

  • I get questions all the time about what gear I am using when I go spearfishing. In this video I go through everything I'm currently using and why I choose to use it. I'm not sponsored by any spearfishing brand and all these thoughts are my own formed from my experiences using these products.

    A trick to making your dive gloves last longer is to coat the palms and fingers with 'tool dip', the latex or acrylic they dip the handles of pliers and the like to give better grip and electrical shock insulation. I used to get 20-30 dives out an untreated pair, and am on the same pair 8 years later after treating them. It also helps to keep my hands warm.

In the North Island we have bronze whaler sharks taxing our catch and in the South Island. we have Hooker sea lions and the occasional seal taxing our catch...not mentioning Great Whites further south. I also use inflatable floats - a 22l and a 35l for the tropics.

      I should say the gun was in the water, I was on land. But yeah, that's not something I ever do otherwise, never even have a loaded gun on the boat or on land. I can understand people being upset but there was zero risk to me of others otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

    Dove Northern California for a few years. I was a beginner for a while there and gripped rocks and everything too much, would destroy gloves. The best gloves you can get for cold water (52 deg ) would be 3mm Kevlar gloves... but the trick is to buy a can of plasti-dip and dip the tips of the fingers... They're awesome, trust me!

    Hey, was looking at buying some of the products you are showing, they come up with different names and at nearly double the price you say, this is from the links you have in the description. That's the mask and snorkel, have the brand names changed ? Thanks

    I Know that you love Polo Sub wetsuits, but when you go to Norway you Should take a look at "Frivannsliv Evo 2" Got it my self, and I can only recommend it! Hope to see a video from Norway with a Halibut size 180 cm. ;)
