Best spearfishing wetsuits – Buyer’s Guide
Do you swim with a wetsuit? For people who enjoy freediving, surfing, swimming in the ocean’s deep waters, snorkeling, and spearfishing, a wetsuit is a valuable tool. Because ocean water is cold, wetsuits insulate a swimmer and help to retain body heat.
When a swimmer retains body heat, he or she avoids the dangerously low body temperature known as hypothermia. Hypothermia can kill a human because the body’s core temperature falls below the normal temperature of 98.6 Fahrenheit. When the body falls below normal temperature, vital parts of the body are in danger of ceasing function, including the heart, brain, lungs, etc. In short, hypothermia can kill you.

Best Spearfishing and Freediving Fins – Buyer’s Guide
The biggest problem of freediving is the lack of equipment you need. A good freediving mask and longer fins to propel you faster and deeper are all that is required!
Spearfishing and freediving fins are different from other fins. The first difference is their extended length. They generally have a longer, less complex design than snorkel or diving fins. They are designed for more efficient propulsion. They are thicker and more rigid near the foot pocket than the other outer end of the blade. Their flexibility also helps you go deeper without expending any more oxygen and energy than necessary. In general, the longer the spearfishing/freediving fin is, the greater resistance moving through the water it has. Less energy is needed to move a greater distance as a result, thus conserving breath during your dive.
