In this blog, we dive into the top 10 must-have spearfishing accessories that we feel everyone should have.
Dive Knife:
Every spearfisher needs a reliable dive knife. From cutting through fishing lines to prying open shellfish, a sharp and durable knife is an essential accessory for safety and versatility.
Float and Flag
Be seen, be safe! It's so important to increase your visibility in the water with a bright-coloured dive flag attached to a buoyant float. Not only does it signal your presence to boats, but it also serves as a marker for your dive spot.
Float Line
This is your link to the surface! Make sure you ensure a secure connection to your speargun with a float line. This accessory not only aids in retrieving your gear but also adds an extra layer of safety during your dives.
Reel:
A spearfishing reel adds control and flexibility to your missions. Manage your catch more efficiently and minimise the risk of losing your catch.
Gear Bag:
A must have to keep all your gear and accessories organised.
Weight Belt:
Achieve the perfect buoyancy with a customisable weight belt. Adjust the weight according to your dive conditions to enhance your comfort and control underwater.
Freediving Watch:
Having a dedicated freediving watch can help you to track your dive time, depth, and surface intervals to enhance your performance and safety.
Wetsuit Hanger:
After a dive, your wetsuit deserves proper care. Invest in a wetsuit hanger to air-dry your gear, preserving its quality for many more underwater adventures. ( Read our blog on 'how to extend the life of your spearing equipment'.)
Spare O-Rings: Small But Essential
These are small, but essential. Don't let a faulty O-ring ruin your dive. Keep a set of spare O-rings in your gear bag to quickly address any potential leaks in your speargun.
Dive Light:
You can extend your diving hours and explore further with a powerful dive light. Whether you're hunting at dawn or dusk, a reliable light source enhances visibility and safety.
