I met these guys at DEMA and they are first class.   While they sell lots of spearfishing equipement, they also carry pretty much everything else you need to dive.  Your discount code is worth 10% off – Just add when you check out!   James 

Our company materialized in September 2007 under the name Excelsior Group Inc in NY. At the beginning we were involved only with picking some of the best products in the US, mainly rubber and wooden spearguns, and exporting to Europe.

In March of 2012 we decided it was time to try the other way around, importing the best of Europe and sharing with fellow spearos here in the US. At first it was carbon fins and euro spearguns and slowly expanded to a full line of products by various manufacturers in Europe mainly Greece.

In December 2012 we finally took the big decision to convert our small garage operation to an online shop under the name Spear America. We research, review, and evaluate various equipment throughout the world in order to deliver top notch products to our customers. We are a retailer and a wholesaler of top quality products and we have the capability and the connections to import any product our clients desire.

What you will find here besides your standard equipment is unique designs and technologies difficult for mass manufacturers to duplicate. We promise that our line of products will always be a step ahead.

I met Eric at the DEMA show in Orlando 2025.  There are lots of players in the watershoe market but Eric’s products really stand out.  I am the proud owner of his Tetra model and love it! Check out the website video of the water flowing out of the sole- I can confirm it works, no more damp footbed that holds water.  I wear it on the beach all the time and can verify that no sand gets through the micromesh liner.  Depending on your fins- you can use these directly as a diving bootie but one with much better support. Your coupon code will get you 20% off of this outstanding shoe.   I plan on bring these with me to the Spring 2026 meeting.   James

I met Paul from Argos at DEMA last year.  If you know now I like my beer, I was immediately drawn to his “most over engineered koozie.”  Keeps everything nice and frosty in the Daytona Beach heat.  His booties and gloves are in a class by themselves.  Extreme quality at each seam.   The dive and gear bags are also very well engineered. The gear bag is set up accommodate the long freedive fins with lots a pockets for all your gear.  It also has compression straps that work well for travelling and can double as a way to connect the dry back pack to the gear bag and carry both on your back.  It’s a design that I don’t believe anyone else has and can be a life saver if you need to walk for a while with all your gear.   Your ISAM member code is worth 10% off!  James 

Paul Byrd is the mastermind behind Argos Gear. He is an outdoor enthusiast at heart and has always had an appreciation for dependable gear. Paul’s father, Chuck, taught him to love adventure and how to fix things when they broke. Self-reliance and innovation are characteristics that Paul still finds important today.

In the 80’s Paul began to spearfish with a friend and his father. Back then, you had to make a lot of your own gear. You learned from someone else who knew about the sport because there wasn’t a local dive shop that had supplies for you to buy. Spearguns were shaped and made in garages, rubbers were purchased at medical supply stores, and having knowledge of knots was a must.  It didn’t take long for Paul to start to think about how to make all his gear better. In his spare time, Paul began to design the Stealth Watersport Bootie. He was determined to design the best soft-soled bootie on the market. All these years later, the Argos team and many happy customers have to agree that he did.

Paul and the Argos Team are excited to extend the line of Argos Gear products. Customers can expect the same great quality from any product that has the Argos name on it. We can’t wait for you to slip into an Argos
