License for Malaysia
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Apply to the Royal Malaysia Police for authorisation to own/import a speargun (treated like a firearm; applications reported as difficult to obtain). Recreational angling charters fall under the Peninsular Malaysia Marine Department, but such permits do not authorise the use of fishing equipment such as spearguns.
