Dude, slow down (IMO). Walk before you run. Get a lot of recreational dives under your belt before you spear. Spearing throws a lot of additional factors into the mix. FWIW, I'm Rescue Diver certified.

Same here.

Hold off on buying BC, reg, etc. until you know you're going to be into it. A lot of cost there if you're only going to do it occasionally. Just my 2 cents.

100% agree with this. I'm also S&R certified, but spearfishing is an entirely different level of danger.

If you do get into spearing, always remember, you can buy a new gun. Don't die for the sake of being a cheap bastard.
