Who we are

Fishes One Hook is an independent spearfishing and freediving journal published on Google's Blogger platform. Questions about these terms? Email contact@fishesonehook.com.

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the site, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. The site is intended for adults; if you're under 18, use it only with a parent or guardian's involvement.

Safety disclaimer — read this Spearfishing and freediving carry a real risk of serious injury and death, including shallow-water blackout. Our guides are educational and reflect our own experience — they are not a substitute for qualified, in-person training, supervision, or medical advice. Never dive alone, always dive within your limits, use a buddy and the right safety gear, check conditions, and follow all local laws and permits. You dive entirely at your own risk.

Using our content

Articles, photos, and guides are ours or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright. You're welcome to share links and short, credited quotes. Republishing whole articles, reproducing our images, or using any content commercially without our written permission is not allowed. We're usually happy to say yes — just ask.

Comments & conduct

Comments run on Blogger and are moderated. Keep it useful and civil. We may remove — and may block users who post — spam, advertising, personal attacks, hate speech, illegal material, or anything that encourages unsafe or unlawful diving. You keep ownership of what you post, but by posting you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, store, and moderate it alongside the relevant article. Don't post anything you don't have the right to share.

Gear reviews & affiliate links

Our reviews are independent and field-tested. Some outbound gear links may earn the site a small commission at no extra cost to you — it never changes our verdict, and we disclose affiliate relationships. We are not the seller of any third-party product and aren't responsible for those merchants, their products, or their terms.

Third-party links

The site links to other websites and embeds content (such as YouTube videos) we don't control. We're not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those sites; visiting them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

No professional advice & accuracy

Content is provided for general information only and is not professional, safety, legal, or medical advice. We work hard to keep it accurate but can't guarantee it is complete, current, or error-free, and we may change or remove content at any time. Underwater conditions are always yours to assess.

Disclaimers & limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are not liable for any loss, injury, or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content — including, above all, any diving or freediving activity. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Availability

We aim to keep the site up but don't guarantee uninterrupted access. Hosting, comments, and related services are provided through Google/Blogger and may change or be unavailable from time to time.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable at our place of operation, and any disputes will be handled by the courts there, except where local consumer law gives you stronger rights.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site grows. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use the site means you accept the current version.
