New Zealand Spearo Magazine #3

New Zealand is a world renowned spearfishing and freediving destination and is the ideal setting for a spearfishing and freediving magazine. Kiwi spearo's and freedivers have led the way on the international dive scene - it's finally time to lead the way with a quality local publication dedicated to the sports. While beautiful New Zealand is the inspiration behind NZSPEARO it's certainly not our final destination. We believe that the global spearo and freediving scene is hungry for new dimension of coverage: a Pacific perspective. That's how NZSPEARO will leave its mark.... Our editorial content strategy has been designed with both veteran enthusiasts and recreational or beginner divers in mind. We'll inform and entertain but most importantly we'll educate our readers. From pages dedicated to dive fitness and marine ecology to gear reviews and sumptuous recipes for enjoying your catch, we've got the New Zealand spearfishing and freediving scene covered. Spearfishing is not just about the catch; it's a lifestyle and it's an adventure. New Zealand Spearo magazine is all about putting local spearfishing & freediving on the map! So join us as we explore the sport and our marine playground in the style that it deserves...
