Recycle Your Speargun Rubbers - Support Remote Villages
Turn used gear into real impact
Help coastal families across Indonesia and the South Pacific by giving your old speargun rubbers a second life.
Give Your Old Gear New Purpose
Old speargun rubbers don’t belong in landfill — they can help feed families.
We collect used speargun rubbers and deliver them to remote coastal communities that rely on fishing for survival. What may be waste to us is a vital resource to them.
Why This Matters
In many remote coastal communities, access to basic fishing and dive equipment is extremely limited.
Local fishers often rely on handmade gear and recycled tyre tubes for speargun rubbers. Even heavily worn or broken rubbers are highly valued and can help provide:
• Reliable fishing tools
• Food security for families
• Safer and more effective spearfishing equipment
• Sustainable access to ocean resources
Your old gear can make a real difference.
How The Program Works
1. We Collect - When customers replace their speargun rubbers, we collect the old ones instead of sending them to landfill.
2. We Repurpose & Ship - We gather second-hand rubbers and usable parts and ship them to remote regions.
3. Direct Delivery - A live-aboard sailing family travelling through Indonesia and the Pacific delivers them directly to coastal villages.
4. Real Impact - These materials are reused immediately to help local fishers provide for their families.
Where Your Gear Goes
Your donated rubbers are delivered to remote coastal villages across:
• Indonesia
• The South Pacific
• Isolated island communities with limited access to equipment
Every item is hand-delivered where it’s needed most.
The People Behind The Mission
This initiative is supported by an Australian live-aboard sailing family who have spent over a decade exploring remote ocean regions and spearfishing daily for their own food.
While travelling through isolated communities, they discovered the huge demand for used speargun rubbers — and began delivering them directly to villages.
They continue to document the journey and share the impact with our community.
Environmental Impact
This program also helps reduce waste by:
• Keeping rubber out of landfill
• Repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded
• Supporting sustainable use of ocean resources
Better for people. Better for the ocean.
How You Can Help
You can support this initiative by:
✓ Returning your old speargun rubbers when replacing them
✓ Posting second-hand rubbers to our workshop
✓ Spreading the word within the spearfishing community
If you’re unsure whether your rubber is usable — send it anyway. Even heavily worn pieces can help.

"Just thought I'd let you know we've arrived at our first semi remote village and have been giving a few rubbers out which have been GREATLY received. So much so as we've started getting boats turning filled with coconuts asking for them haha Some guys were so stoked they are taking me out spearing now so I better go!" Nic
