Hello everyone! I am currently a new diver and spear-fisher. I have a lot of questions about spearfishing in general and in southern California. This has now been a weekend hobby of mine and I thoroughly enjoy going free diving. I recently got into spearfishing from a buddy of mine in the same hometown in Palos Verdes, CA. I have been borrowing his gear whenever we have gone out to spear fish, however I now what to invest in some gear myself. What gear would be best to invest in terms of mask, wetsuit, speargun, fins, lead weights and all other necessities for a beginner free-diver/spearfisher? BTW I am 5'8'' 145 pounds. I have been looking into MAKO since they have good prices for the quality.
Next question...What are some other great spots to spearfish in Southern California other then Palos Verdes shores?
Lastly, where can I get more knowledge in order to get myself more experience in spearfishing or fishing in general. Any recommended audio-books or podcasts for my daily commute to work? I am glad to have found this site and look forward to using this forum to help with any spearfishing needs. Thanks!
