1 X 6ft aluminium handspear.
1 X Goggle & Snorkel Set
1 X Set of fins that are comfortable, not tight, not loose.
1 X Wetsuit or Boardies and suncream.
Them's be your basics.
Now find a few headlands with rocky rubble around them and have a snorkel around. Probably best off going in without the spear for the first few times if you're new to snorkeling/diving to get comfortable with movement & breathing.
google shallow water blackout and do some research.
never hyperventilate before you dive or exhale before you reach the surface.
dive with a buddy. dont be scared, just be aware of the risks.
dont pull the trigger till you're sure. nothing worse than hurting a fish and then letting it go.
enjoy.
