Spear Shack is the place to go. Mark put together a spear gun, had two Hawaiian slings, and knives. He gave us a great run down on how to properly use everything, along with a couple good stories. Great guy and great shop. Thanks again Mark!

Did the two-weekend PADI dive cert with Cullen O. and had a great time exploring the shores of Catalina two weekends in a row with him and the team.

Mark is a legend! This spot is pure gold. Best advice and gear you can find in San Diego

Best Free Dive shop around! Mark the owner grew up circumnavigating the world with his family hunting fish, diving in waters most wouldnt consider for 7years. His family returned to San Diego where they acquired the shipchandelry Johnson & Joesph, one of the oldest and best originating in SF. They opened their family business James & Joesph named after the original Captain James Morgan. Mark is far beyond knowledgeable when spear fishing is concerned. He fed his family with his skills. His wisdom, kindness and story keep you wanting to go back to learn more, gear up and dive. If you didnt know, thank him later!

This place has everything for spearfishing. Mark is very knowledgeable about all aspects of spearfishing. He has all the special gear you cant find anywhere else. I love this place

Best shop Ive ever been to. Mark was great, he stayed open an extra hour for me so I could get there after work and get my gear. Has a wealth of knowledge and more than willing to help you out. He gave me rock bottom prices on everything, helped me with an issue on my gun, and gave me advice on how to tune my gun in the future. Best shop Ive ever been to hands down!

Mark is the best! Down to earth. Connected with the sea and knowledgeable about free dive/ spearfishing and paddle boarder to boot. Small quaint shop and reasonable prices. Check it out!! Tom H.

Of your into spear fishing this is your last stop

I live in OB and I love going to local places but this guy is NEVER open literally 12 o’clock on a Wednesday afternoon not open. Not the first time I’ve gone and has been disappointed.

Mark always hooks me up with great gear, customized for my needs. Every piece of freediving gear I have has come from the Spear Shack and I am very happy with all of it. Mark is the best!

Mark is as cool as it gets and went way above and beyond helping us out.

Spear Shack & Mark are the very best! Knowledge, customer care, products, prices, gear selection.... All get A+, 5 Stars, and many other kudos.

I love the spear shack! Its not just a store, its also a cool place to hang out, tell fish stories and meet other spearfishermen! Mark is awesome, and can set you up with whatever you need! If you need spearfishing gear or advice, this is the place to go!

Great, Got Both Spear Guns Fixed With New Bands. Also Got a Starter Spear Pole👍🏻👍🏽👍🏿

I went on a Sunday (06/30/19) around 3pm and it was not open while it says that it closes at 6pm. Can you guys change your available hours on google so people know when you are truly open?

Due to a motorbike accident I have two differently sized feet. He helped get me into proper fins for my skill level, a different size for each foot, no questions asked. I live in Canada, and I intend to purchase from him again.

Finally got to Spears Shack when its open. Mark replaced the bands on my speargun and threw in a spear tip sharpening. He was chock full of tips for a novice spear like me.

Great shop. Definatly worth going to for all your spearfishing, kite boarding and SUP needs.

Mark, the owner is a spearfishing legend. Anything you need he has and with priceless advice and service. A real spearfishing store.
