Hand-built spearguns, wetsuits and dive gear shipped fast to Sydney and right across NSW. Every gun hand-built in Cairns and backed by a lifetime warranty.
Spearfishing gear built for Sydney and NSW conditions
Sydney offers some of the best temperate spearfishing in the country, with kelp reef, ledges and headlands right along the coast and clear bluewater a short run offshore. The gear that works here has to handle a range of conditions: variable visibility close in, clean water out wide, and a stack of hard-fighting fish led by the kingfish Sydney is known for.
For most Sydney divers a 90 to 110cm railgun is the sweet spot for reef and ledge work, with a longer roller or bluewater gun earning its place out wide after kingfish and pelagics. Pair it with a titanium-lined wetsuit to stay comfortable through the cooler NSW seasons, and a set of quality fins to cover the ground.
Every Aimrite gun is hand-built in Cairns and backed by a lifetime warranty, and we ship Australia-wide with fast dispatch, so your kit reaches Sydney and regional NSW quickly.
