• Your speargun is a deadly weapon; treat it as one.
  
  
  
  • NEVER point it in the direction of other divers
    
  • load it underwater
    
  • unload it before surfacing
    
  • stay away from other divers
    
  • know the range of your gun and only shoot when you can clearly see that well past that range is clear
    
  
  
• Know your Prey
  
  
  
  • If you don't know what it is don't shoot it
    
  • Know & respect the Fish & Game limits
    
  • know where to shoot for the kill
    
  • know how to subdue the prey quickly (usually tearing out the gills).
    
  
  
• Respect Your Prey
  
  
  
  • Only shoot what you will eat and no more.
    
  • Keep the meat in top condition
    
    
    
    • clean and/or gut it ASAP
      
    • refrigerate or freeze it immediately
