Terms of Use

By using islandspearco.com you agree to these terms. They’re short and written to be read.

What this site is

Island Spear Co publishes reference information about spearfishing: regulations summaries, gear data and comparisons, calculators, and guides. It’s provided free, as-is, for general information.

Not legal advice — verify before you dive

Regulations summaries on this site are researched carefully and cited to official sources, but they are not legal advice and can become outdated the day an agency changes a rule. You are responsible for confirming current regulations with the official agency before you fish. Island Spear Co is not liable for citations, fines, or other consequences of relying on a summary instead of the primary source we link to.

Safety

Spearfishing and freediving are inherently dangerous activities. Nothing on this site replaces proper training, a competent dive buddy, and your own judgment. Never dive alone; never dive beyond your training.

Affiliate disclosure (FTC)

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, Island Spear Co may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. As an Amazon Associate and as a participant in other affiliate programs, we earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate relationships never change what our data says: comparison tables and regulations are compiled the same way whether or not a product earns us anything, and we disclose affiliate links where they appear.

Your use of the site

• Content is for personal, non-commercial reference. Don’t scrape and republish the database wholesale as your own.
• Quoting with attribution and a link is welcome — that’s what the site is for.
• Don’t abuse forms or attempt to disrupt the service.

No warranties

The site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Island Spear Co disclaims liability for any damages arising from use of the site.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site grows (for example, when the digital guide goes on sale). The date above reflects the latest revision; continued use after changes means you accept them.
