Why choose Spear Gods along with The Inside scoop…
Spear Gods has quickly become one of the largest spearfishing stores in the USA in less than a decade! We have done this through knowledge, exceptional service, top-quality gear and finally, selection. Our staff and advisors have over 150 years of combined knowledge/experience in freedive spearfishing, scuba spearfishing, international spearfishing, spearfishing repair/manufacturing, technical spearfishing, tournament spearfishing and commercial spearfishing.
We have well over 100 google 5 star reviews as testament to our dedication to service and treat each and every customer like they deserve to be treated.
We work with, not against, other manufacturers, local dive stores, tournament organizers, charters and instructors to promote the sport of spearfishing. We work with, not against, fisheries regulators and scientists to promote good science and the sustainability of spearfishing.
Selection… We are an authorized dealer for Riffe, Koah, Salvimar, Rob Allen, Cressi, Hammerhead, Garmin, Shearwater, Ermes, Red Tide Spearfishing, Deep Apnea, Ocean Rhino, A.B. Biller, Hammerhead, M85 Manufacturing, Neptonics, Gannett, JBL, Spear-Pro, Sea Pearls, Gili Gear, Sea-Sucker and many, many others. We also carry custom guns from artisanal gun builders like Tuso, Charlies Spears, and Death From Above along with exclusive merchandise that only we make.
To become an “authorized dealer” in the dive industry, you have to have what’s called a “Buy-In”, which is a large $$$$.$$ initial order that weeds out small shops and an “Annual Maintenance” amount, which is an annual purchasing amount that must be maintained in order to keep your dealer status.
We often get asked “why don't we carry a certain item from a certain vendor”?
The answer is simple, we carry what we know works/lasts and we are large enough to have the ability to be very selective about what we buy.
Unlike smaller shops, we are large enough to NOT be married to any single brand or forced to carry an entire merchandise line. Frankly… almost every manufacturer carries some dog excrement, and we refuse to carry turds.
For example… we carry a couple of very inexpensive spearguns for those tight on cash or just testing the sport. Spear Gods carries (in our opinion) one of the best quality, low priced spearguns on the market! You usually get what you pay for, and our philosophy is to carry the best quality merchandise and/or the best quality at a given price point.
There are some brands we simply refuse to carry due to poor quality, lack of service, poor interchangeability, or poor reliability.
Just last year we stopped carrying a very large and well-known European manufacturer due to repeated poor-quality merchandise (who puts plated parts on a speargun?!). Our parting words to the owner of that company were that “he needed to shove one of his spearguns up the backside of his Quality Control guy and our customers deserve better than your crappy guns, your crappy masks, and your crappy fins".
Are we worth the drive? Hell yeah, we are! Come on by and see nearly 4000 square feet of spearfishing history, manufacturing and merchandise under 1 roof!
