BigJoe’s buying guide

Snorkel, Dive & Spearfishing

Start with a mask that fits

Press the mask to your face without the strap and breathe in through your nose. If it stays on, it fits. Low-volume masks are easier to clear and equalize when you dive down.

Pole spear or speargun?

A pole spear is cheap, simple and perfect for lionfish and close shots. Spearguns reach farther for snapper and hogfish. Learn the local rules first: in Puerto Rico, spearfishing with scuba is not allowed and many reserves are closed to all fishing (they're marked in red on BigJoe's maps).

Be seen, dive with a buddy

Always tow a diver-down flag on a float so boats keep clear, and never free dive alone. A knife on your leg cuts you free of line or nets.
