    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.
