ebay is really good for cheap stuff i got my first wetsuit off there for £20 (just a surfing suit and i bought a hood seperate) and im a huge fan of d.i.y for instants im using a bicycle inner tube for a weight belt (saves £10-£20), also http://scubastore.com/ http://www.spearfishingstore.co.uk. there are some good kit lists on this forum as well.

you wont need to buy a spear gun for that just yet as its good practice to do one gun between two one up one down (so you dont get mistaken for a bass hahaha)

Oh, I see. No I have all the standard freediving gear, wetsuit, weights, etc etc, what I lack are the bits for spearfishing itself
