Recreational spearfishing (sport fishing with a spear gun / podvodna puška) is legal in the territorial waters of Slovenia but tightly regulated. It is allowed only as breath-hold (apnea) diving using one's own force, only in daytime from sunrise to sunset, and requires an annual sport fishing permit with a spear gun issued exclusively by the Sea Sport Fishing Federation of Slovenia (Zveza za športni ribolov na morju Slovenije, ZŠRMS); the applicant must be a member of an affiliated sport fishing society. A diver may use at most two spears or two spear guns. Use of underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) is prohibited. A signal buoy of at least 10 litres tied to the diver is mandatory. Spearfishing is prohibited in protected areas (notably the Strunjan Landscape Park / Nature Reserve marine area, the only state-protected marine area in Slovenia), within 200 m of marked marine aquaculture facilities, within 50 m of marked bottom-set nets, and at ports and bathing sites between 1 May and 30 October. The legal framework is the Marine Fisheries Act (ZMR-2) and the Rules on Recreational Sea Fishing (Pravilnik o prostočasnem ribolovu na morju, Uradni list RS no. 64/2008).

- AizsargātsEndangered/protected species may not be caught; immature (undersized) fish must be returned to the sea. Specific minimum landing sizes and the protected-species list are set by separate fisheries and nature-protection regulations and were not retrieved verbatim - verify with the Fisheries Research Institute of Slovenia / ZŠRMS.
Minimum landing sizes per species are governed by separate regulations referenced (but not enumerated) in Art. 14 of the Rules on Recreational Sea Fishing; exact size tables were not obtained from an authoritative verbatim source and are left for verification. The Sava Hotels source also notes that living vertebrates and natural baits made of endangered/protected animals may not be used.

Prasības
- Same annual spear-gun permit and affiliated-society membership requirement applies regardless of nationality - spearfishing requires membership in a society affiliated with the Sea Sport Fishing Federation of Slovenia
- Note: shore-based rod/line recreational fishing does not require a permit, but spearfishing (spear gun) always requires the annual spear-gun permit
Ierobežojumi
- All national spearfishing restrictions apply: breath-hold only, daytime only, protected-area bans, distance rules
The law does not distinguish by nationality; the binding constraint for non-residents is obtaining the annual spear-gun permit via society/Federation membership. Practical access for short-term visiting tourists is therefore limited.
Rezidenti

Sport fishing with a spear gun may be carried out in the territorial waters of the Republic of Slovenia on the basis of an annual permit issued by the Sea Sport Fishing Federation of Slovenia, subject to all equipment, daytime and protected-area restrictions.
Annual spear-gun permit + society membership required; breath-hold diving only; max two spears/two spear guns; signal buoy mandatory; no scuba; keep 200 m from aquaculture facilities and 50 m from bottom-set nets.
Reported as the only stretch of the Slovenian coast with conditions well suited to spearfishing/sea fishing; most of the Slovenian seabed is muddy/loamy, which limits good spearfishing elsewhere. (Secondary tourism source; not a legal designation.)
Note part of this area lies near/within protected coastal sea around the Piran/Fiesa coast; standard national spearfishing restrictions apply. Verify exact protected-area boundaries before fishing.
Aizliegtās zonas
- Strunjan Landscape Park / Strunjan Nature Reserve (marine area)landscape park / marine nature reserve
The only state-level protected area in Slovenia that includes the sea: a 200-metre belt of coastal sea and the entire Bay of Strunjan as far as Pacug, including the central Marine Reserve (Holy Cross Bay / Sveti Križ and the Ronek area). Spearfishing falls under the prohibition on fishing in protected areas; in the park, sport fishing is only allowed from the shore in designated areas, and navigation/anchoring are banned in the central Marine Reserve.
- Cape Madona Natural Monument (Piran)natural monument (marine)
Marine natural monument off the tip of the Piran peninsula, an area of high marine biodiversity; falls within protected areas where spearfishing is prohibited under the general ban on fishing in protected areas.
- Portorož fisheries reservefisheries reserve
Fisheries reserve where commercial fishing is prohibited; only non-commercial sport/recreational fishing from the shore is permitted. Spearfishing is barred under the protected-area / fisheries-reserve restrictions.
- Strunjan fisheries reservefisheries reserve
Fisheries reserve where commercial fishing is prohibited; only non-commercial sport/recreational fishing from the shore is permitted. Spearfishing is barred under the protected-area / fisheries-reserve restrictions.
- Ports and bathing sites (seasonal)ports / designated bathing areas (seasonal closure)
Spearfishing is prohibited in ports and at bathing sites during the bathing season, from 1 May to 30 October.
- Debeli rtič Landscape Park (marine protected area)landscape park / marine protected area
Krajinski park Debeli rtič at the tip of the Ankaran peninsula (NW corner of Slovenia's coast, bordering Italy/Muggia), established by decree (Odlok o Krajinskem parku Debeli rtič, Uradni list RS 2018) in June 2018. The park covers ~340 ha of which ~160 ha is a marine protected area (a 250-450 m wide belt of sea) with a flysch cliff, natural shoreline and an underwater reef harbouring nearly 700 marine species (including protected species: fan mussel, long-snouted seahorse, Mediterranean stone coral, loggerhead turtle). Per the park decree (Art. 11) recreational fishing (negospodarski ribolov) is prohibited except angling from shore, and collection/removal of wild marine organisms is banned in both protection zones; breath-hold spearfishing (conducted from the water, not from shore) therefore falls under the prohibition. NOTE: the official eUprava national fishing-restrictions FAQ does NOT list Debeli rtič by name; the fishing prohibition is established by the park's own founding decree, which should be checked for exact marine-zone boundaries and any in-park exceptions before diving.
- Sečovlje Salina Nature Park (marine area)nature park / marine protected area
Krajinski park Sečoveljske soline (Sečovlje Salina Nature Park) at the SW end of the Slovenian coast around the Drnica stream / Sečovlje saltpans and the Bay of Piran near the Croatian border. The park includes a marine area divided into conservation zones. Per the official Slovenian e-government (eUprava) fishing-restrictions FAQ, sport fishing is prohibited in the park, and in the first protection zone all water sports and recreational activities are banned; spearfishing falls under the national ban on fishing in protected areas. Verify exact marine-zone boundaries before diving.

Pētnieka piezīmes
Slovenia has a short (~47 km) Adriatic coastline. Recreational spearfishing is legal but heavily restricted and gated behind an annual spear-gun permit issued only by the Sea Sport Fishing Federation of Slovenia (ZŠRMS) to members of affiliated societies, which limits casual access for visiting tourists. Core rules come verbatim from the Rules on Recreational Sea Fishing (Pravilnik o prostočasnem ribolovu na morju, Uradni list RS no. 64/2008) and the Marine Fisheries Act (ZMR-2). Key constraints: breath-hold (no scuba) only; daytime only (sunrise to sunset); max two spears/spear guns; barbed spears or non-explosive harpoons; mandatory 10 L signal buoy tied to the diver; 200 m clearance from marine aquaculture and 50 m from bottom-set nets; prohibited in protected areas and at ports/bathing sites from 1 May to 30 October; daily catch limit ~5 kg. The marine portion of Strunjan Landscape Park / Nature Reserve is the only state-protected marine area and is the principal no-spearfishing zone, together with Cape Madona and the Portorož and Strunjan fisheries reserves. CONFIDENCE/LIMITATIONS: Verbatim Slovenian article text (Arts. 2, 3, 6, 15) was obtained via the Uradni list official gazette page through a fetch summariser rather than a directly downloaded PDF, so exact punctuation/wording of the daytime and catch-limit clauses should be re-checked against the full consolidated text before any official/legal use. Per-species minimum landing sizes and the full protected-species list are set by separate regulations (referenced in Art. 14) and were NOT retrieved verbatim - they are intentionally left empty/flagged rather than guessed. Prohibited-zone coordinates are approximate town/peninsula centroids, not surveyed boundaries. Permit fees are as listed on the SPOT portal and may change.
