Check the configuration
Look at the Speargun configuration first so you can compare like with like. The product page lists the model's key specifications and included components.

Spearguns
Compare Speargun configurations and available lengths, then check each product page for specifications, included components and setup details.
Before you compare
Start with two grounded checks
Start with the Speargun type and the lengths available, then use the product page to compare the details that matter.
Compare the available lengths
Compare the lengths offered for each model and confirm the selected variant before ordering.
After the shortlist
Review the product in context
Check the product page carefully, then add the rigging and supporting equipment you need.
Check the model details
Confirm the selected length, configuration, included components and setup notes before ordering. If something is unclear, ask our team.
Complete the rest of the setup
Add rigging, masks, exposure protection and weights separately to build the setup that suits you.

Speargun guide
Choosing a Speargun
A useful Speargun comparison goes beyond picking the longest model available. Length, handling, power system, supplied components and the environment all belong in the same decision. Use the range to build a shortlist, then confirm the selected variant and every inclusion on the product page.
Length changes handling as well as reach
A Speargun's overall size affects how much room it occupies in the water and how readily it can be positioned. A shorter gun can be easier to handle where visibility or available space is limited; a longer gun may provide more reach when the conditions and intended use justify the extra length. Treat length as part of the complete configuration, not as a stand-alone measure of quality or capability. Compare only the lengths actually offered for the model, and remember that two guns carrying the same nominal length can still differ in layout and supplied components.
Band-powered and pneumatic Spearguns
Band-powered guns use stretched rubber to propel the shaft, while pneumatic guns use compressed air and a piston system. That difference changes the loading method, feel, maintenance points and the components you need to understand. Neither mechanism is automatically the better choice for every diver. Compare the actual model, available length, loading process and supplied equipment, then choose the system you are prepared to rig, use and maintain correctly.
Think about the complete Speargun setup
Confirm the shaft, shooting line and other supplied components on the product page before ordering. Replacement rubbers, bridles, line, crimps, clips, floats and float lines belong in Spearfishing Parts & Rigging. A suitable mask, exposure protection, planned weight system and accessible cutting tool may also form part of the wider equipment decision. Check whether a reel, line or loading aid is included, optional or purchased separately, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the exact mechanism.
Choose around actual diving conditions
Visibility, available space, water conditions, intended use and the rest of the rigging all influence what is practical. Avoid choosing from a rigid length chart or a target-species label alone. Start with where and how the gun will be used, compare the mechanisms and lengths available, and check every inclusion and setup detail on the product page.

Why Extreme Watersport
Speargun advice from a Melbourne dive specialist
Speargun choice is easier when the gun, rigging and intended diving are discussed together. Extreme Watersport supports Melbourne and Victorian divers from a physical Mornington Peninsula dive shop, with practical equipment advice organised around use and configuration.
More context than a length chart
Tell the team about visibility, available space, intended use and the configurations you are comparing so the conversation begins with the diving rather than one number.
The gun and rigging considered together
Extreme Watersport can help you review the Speargun alongside line, rubbers, floats, cutting tools and the supporting equipment already in your setup.
Speak with a Melbourne dive specialist
The Capel Sound dive centre gives Melbourne and Victorian customers a physical specialist shop where equipment questions can be worked through before ordering.

Speargun questions
Check the configuration, length and included components before ordering.
What should I compare first when choosing a Speargun?
Start with the product's configuration and the available lengths. Then review the specifications, included components and setup notes on the product page.
What length Speargun should I choose?
Compare the lengths offered for the models you are considering, then speak with our team about where and how you plan to use the Speargun.
Where can I find Speargun parts and rigging?
