Top considerations when buying spearfishing wetsuits online

Purchasing a spearfishing wetsuit isn’t necessarily straightforward, especially if you’re just starting your spearfishing journey. Let’s take a look at some of the top considerations to keep in mind when buying a wetsuit for spearfishing.

One piece or two

Typically, entry-level spearfishing wetsuits come in one single piece. The higher-end suits come in two pieces: a jacket and long johns or high-waisted pants. The configuration that’s right for you will depend on your budget and personal preference.

Colour

We stock a whole range of spearfishing wetsuits in a broad spectrum of colours, black being the most common. We also offer green and blue camouflage wetsuits, which may be preferable depending on where you dive.

Thickness

Spearfishing wetsuits come in thicknesses ranging from 2mm to 5mm. The thicker the suit, the warmer it’ll keep you. Generally speaking, a 3mm is a good option for those fishing in Queensland.

Open or closed cell

Open cell spearfishing wetsuits have no material lining on the inside. These suits are super grippy and can be a real challenge to get on when dry. In fact, many divers and fishers use a lubricant when putting their open cell wetsuit on. Closed cell spearfishing wetsuits are lined, making them much easier to pull on.

Buy spearfishing wetsuit: FAQs

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about spearfishing wetsuits.

Do I need a wetsuit to go spearfishing?

Yes. It’s a good idea to wear a wetsuit when spearfishing. Wetsuits protect you in several ways:

• Wetsuits keep you warm and regulate your body temperature
• Wetsuits protect your skin against cuts and abrasions on rocks and reefs
• Wetsuits help keep you sun safe and can prevent sunburn if you are fishing close to the water’s surface

Do I need a camouflage wetsuit to go spearfishing?

While not essential, if you are a serious fisher, a camouflage spearfishing wetsuit is a valuable investment. A camouflage wetsuit will help break up your body shape under the water, so you are less likely to spook fish before they come into striking distance.

How do I care for my spearfishing wetsuit?

Clean your wetsuit after fishing and allow it to dry completely before you store it away. Don’t fold your wetsuit, as this can cause irreversible creases. Over time, these creases may tear. Instead, hang your wetsuit or lay it flat.
