Spear Fishing in Australia

Spearfishing in Australia gives you clear water, vibrant reefs, and rich bluewater. From tropical coral to cool southern kelp, the coast offers many styles of diving. You pick your path, stay selective, and take home a true underwater challenge.

Common reef targets include Coral Trout, Snapper, Mangrove Jack, Bream, and Parrotfish. In open water, experienced divers look for Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, Yellowtail Kingfish, and even Sailfish when conditions line up. Species change with region and season, so every dive feels new.

Most trips use freediving. You glide over reef edges, sand holes, and bait schools, then make short, calm drops. A simple kit works best: mask, snorkel, fins, and a speargun or polespear. Your guide will explain safe shot placement and how to handle fish at the surface.

Guided charters reach reefs, islands, and drop-offs fast. Shore dives are possible in sheltered bays and headlands when the swell is low. Beginners can learn in protected water, while skilled spearos can chase fast game fish offshore. Bring a well-fitting wetsuit, gloves, and sun protection. Expect plans to adjust to wind, swell, and visibility.

Across the country, broad hotspots include the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea in Queensland, Ningaloo Reef and the North West Cape in Western Australia, the rocky headlands of New South Wales, the gulfs and peninsulas of South Australia, and Tasmania’s clear temperate reefs. Each area has distinct species, structure, and seasons.

Rules vary by state and territory. Check if you need a fishing license or permit, and review local seasons, size and harvest limits, and restricted zones before you dive. Respect marine parks, protected species, and cultural sites. Your captain or guide will help you follow current regulations.

Australia Spear Fishing Seasons

September to November are some of the best times to target Marlin. Pick a calm day and get out on to the deep waters. You'll have a great story to tell after a long fight with these predators!

    Awesome Trip

    Great day out with my 2 sons, first time on the outer reef. Shawry was excellent, put us in the right spots at the right times and helped us with his knowledge and expertise all day. Caught a good variety and good size Coral Trout and Emperor’s for tea. Thanks Shawry, can’t wait for the next trip.
