What is this page best for?

This page serves as the ultimate destination for spearfishers looking for a cohesive gear system. It is best for those who require technical equipment that balances freedom of movement with essential protection. Our collection includes everything from the core Wetsuits required for thermal stability to the accessories that enhance safety, such as shark deterrent options and robust gear bags. By bringing together Men’s Wetsuits, Women’s Wetsuits, and Kids Wetsuits, we ensure the whole family is equipped with gear built for the unique demands of breath-hold diving and underwater hunting.

Choosing the right thickness

Selecting the correct neoprene thickness is critical for maintaining your core temperature without sacrificing the mobility needed for a successful dive. Our spearfishing range offers several options to suit Australian climates:

• 1.5mm Wetsuits: Best for tropical northern waters or peak summer sessions where sun protection and wind-chill resistance are the primary requirements.
• 3/2mm Wetsuits: A versatile choice for temperate regions, providing a balance of warmth and high flexibility for year-round use in many parts of Australia.
• 4/3mm & 5/4mm Wetsuits: Engineered for cold-water performance in southern regions or winter missions, delivering maximum heat retention for extended time in the water.

Warmth, stretch and durability

At SALT Of The Sea, we understand that spearfishing gear must be tough enough to handle rocky entries and abrasive reefs while remaining flexible enough for a comfortable surface interval. Our Element two-piece suits utilise GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched) seams to create a watertight seal, while integrated Hexcore reinforcement adds superior durability to high-wear areas like the chest and knees. This combination of thermal efficiency and rugged construction ensures your gear performs season after season. Furthermore, our low-volume masks and hydrodynamic fins are designed to reduce drag, helping you conserve oxygen and move silently through the blue.

FAQs

What are the benefits of a two-piece spearfishing wetsuit?

Two-piece suits offer superior water sealing by eliminating the long back or chest zips found in surfing suits. They also provide modularity, allowing you to mix and match jacket and pant sizes or thicknesses to suit specific water temperatures and body shapes.

How do I choose the right size spearfishing mask?

A good fit is essential to prevent leaks. To test, hold the mask against your face without the strap, inhale slightly through your nose, and see if it stays in place. Our masks feature soft silicone skirts designed to create a reliable seal on a variety of face shapes.

How should I care for my spearfishing gear?

Always rinse all equipment in fresh water after every use to remove salt, sand, and organic matter. Dry your gear in the shade to prevent UV damage, and store your wetsuits on wide-shouldered hangers to maintain the integrity of the neoprene.

Do I need a weight belt for spearfishing?

Yes, a weight belt is necessary to offset the natural buoyancy of your wetsuit, allowing you to reach your desired depth with less effort. We recommend silicone Marseille-style belts for spearfishing as they stay secure against your body as the neoprene compresses at depth.
