About Us
Welcome to Spearlust
It’s Not a Sport, It’s a Lifestyle
Born from the sea and built for those who chase the blue. Spearlust delivers technical spearfishing apparel and gear designed by freedivers, for freedivers — products that perform as hard as the people wearing them.
Captain Austin Cerkleski
Founder & Head Spearo — Key West, Florida
Growing up in Key West Florida I was surrounded by the lifestyle of living off the sea. At a very young age I grew a passion for the ocean and everything it offers. Spearfishing was one hobby I especially grew fond towards. After getting my first speargun at five years old I developed an addiction to be the best Spearo I could be.
This love for the ocean and spearfishing influenced me during my college years to pursue a business that kept me connected to my roots. I brought up the idea to two of my best friends to design and produce our own personal spearfishing apparel. The dream team became official and ideas started flowing. That’s when SpearLust was born.
All of our products are built for supplying ocean lovers with comfortable after-dive wear. Designed to not just look awesome, but to be very comfortable and durable — gear that survives saltwater, sun, and time.
