About the Book and Noob Spearo

Spearfishing is a sport that has one of the steepest learning curves imaginable.

“Turbo and I both encountered lots of obstacles getting started spearfishing and so we created the Noob Spearo to help people overcome their own hurdles” (Shrek)

“When I got started spearfishing, I knew nothing, no one, had terribly ineffective equipment, and had heaps of drama with everything from equalizing to losing big fish. I enjoy learning and sharing with others clever ways around problems.” (Turbo)

Noob Spearo’s Vision

  1. We aim to help reduce spearfishing deaths (too many young spearos lose their lives in preventable situations)
  2. We aim to help in the development of the next generation of environmentally aware spearos
  3. We aim to help spearfishing grow as a lifestyle sport by developing community and relationships with spearos all over the world.
  4. We aim to help our readers shoot more fish and have fun

Noob Spearo Blog

The Vault is the home of articles on everything from how to get started shore diving to how to hunt, shoot and land Spanish mackerel. Guest contributors, along with feedback from our listeners, community, and our own experiences are fuelling an ever-growing catalogue of tips, tricks, hacks, DIY guides and articles for the aspiring spearo.

Core Values

We don’t believe in big-noting and speaking to new or up-and-coming spearos like they are a new kind of bacteria. Forums and social media are full of spearos abusing and disrespecting one another. We don’t go for that at Noob Spearo. We like to share a laugh, tell real stories, and share lessons learned while inviting the next generation of divers into a healthy, safe, and sustainable relationship with this epic sport we enjoy – spearfishing.
