This is great Ryan. It’s hard to find educational info on spearfishing, and I love that part about your regular videos. So it’s awesome to now have videos/podcast episodes that go deeper into that piece that the regular youtube vids provide as a secondary piece and don’t go into nearly as much. Keep em coming 👍🏻
OMG, question no1 is where I am at. I have been searching for a roller kit to see whether I can convert my 100 rail gun into a roller gun, I just went to the Adreno store in Alexandria last Saturday to get advice on this project. I am new to this sport and I agree with you, I shall more practice and focus on underwater hunting skills rather than seeking bigger/better pieces of equipment. Thank you for this video.
Yeah mate this was fantastic. I'm a country boy so it isn't often I get to the coast. When I do, I go by myself and do shore dives and I never last long, so you answered that straight up. Thanks heaps.
Ryan, you have hit the ground running (water swimming) with your latest format idea. Love it. Congratulations! You don't know how many people you are going to help with sharing your cancer story .Don't forget to reinforce it with video of you "lathering up" in your prep. Nothing has to be said, just seeing you, Sam, Justin or who ever is diving with you doing the same is going to pay great dividends. Mahalo
This was a great format, nice and chill, no ego, just good solid info. Really enjoyed it. I would have liked a little demo of the knot you mention. Get well and diving soon.
I like the format. Your channel is the best on YT for learning diving and spearfishing techniques. I recently saw on Daniel Mann's channel a world champion justifying leaving the snorkel in the whole dive and the reason was very compelling. I'd like to know your thoughts on the topic.
Oh wow! Was curious about that bump. Had the same procedure done on my lower eye lid. (Fun!) Glad you got it handled and hoping for a speedy recovery. And selfishly, more videos!
Pretty cool to just be able to listen to your thoughts on all these questions. Maybe just add a couple photos for additional info on some of the stuff you're mentioning. Keep up the content, its super fun to watch and all.
Nice Ryan podcast this is great just know ur content never disappoints always learning action love the catch & cook with samagram Mrs.Myers beautiful diving super good knowledge on the hunt . Keep at it MAHĀLO 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾💯
With you on the gun size and wrap. I’ve moved to a single wrap and I’m downsizing gun soon also. Technique has allowed me take all the other questionables out of it.
Mr myers the platform is a very interesting project I like it I enjoy every diving videos I watch with u and I’m totally learning something new from each dive
Hi Ryan, could you possibly demonstrate how you grunt, best times to grunt, length and volume? I’m never sure if my grunts are loud enough, not loud enough, too aggressive and if I should be looking at the fish while doing so. Mahalo
One more question that I can’t seem to find answers to online. What’s a good static flasher set up? I have no idea how to rig one or what they even consist of. The podcast style is killer btw and stoked to see how the new guns turnout. Are you taking preorders?
Thanks Ryan for the amazing information. And hilarious to be answered on a video! 1.8-1.9 dyneema shooting line, Got it! Your tip definitely changed the game for me regarding shooting line! Mahalos from Kauai, HI! Stoked on the podcast!
I liked the format as an occasional option (still like the spearfishing ones the best). Can you show that shooting line knot? I know you had it in another video, but I searched a bunch a while ago and didn't find it.
Aloha Ryan! Love the podcast style video and you’ve been an inspiration to my dive buddy and myself. We’ve been spearfishing in O’ahu for a while and we’re looking for resources to track currents and dive safely. Do you have any suggestions?
Ryan hows it going mate why don't you come to Western Australia and come to the south west region this place has plenty of cool fish and beautiful eating fish , I love the vids keep it up
Hi Ryan. I’m Juan from Barcelona, Spain. Oh yes, you reach Spain!😊 I found this video very interesting specially the part of equalising. A few months ago, talking about diving with a friend of mine, who is a doctor, the subject came up. I do hands free equalising and I asked how was it possible biologically speaking. He wasn’t really sure but, if it helps, he said I was probably able to bring some air from my lungs to my mouth and then push it up mi nose cavity and ears with the back of my tong. I don’t know if that’s how I do it but I think it is, I can do it even without a mask. Hawai is on our bucket list but, as you said, we’re on a budget and I would never leave my wife and kids apart for that, surprisingly!!😂😂😂😂 Keep it up!
I also use dynema on my gun and since I am from Brazil, we do a lot of hole hunting for dusky groupers. So here it is pretty common for divers to suffer accidents or even die because they got tangled on dynema in a hole. What’s your advice to avoid these situations? What is the best way/technique to cut strong lines such as dynema? I am a fan of your channel!
Awesome dude, glad you're healing from your surgery, I have a question more on the emotional side of spearfishing. Whenever I dive I inherently have a preference for targeting fish that are less intelligent from an emotional standpoint, because it makes me feel less bad to kill them, although I still shoot the smarter more solitary fish. I don't dive too often anymore because I live in NYC now, but in California where I'm from, I feel bad when I shoot a Sheepshead which to me have way more personality than a fish like an Opal Eye or small surf perch. Do you feel an emotional preference to target certain fish? I also appreciate the sport of targeting Uku and smarter and faster fish, I enjoy it too, but in general I tend to try and go for the dumber more schooling fish.
Hope you doing great man. Skin cancer gave me the scare and you usually put on sun screen when you dive. Any ways love the vids and this podcast you’re trying! 🔥
I really find that fins sticking up is due to the diver not being fully relaxed on the bottom. Try getting to the bottom, closing your eyes for a few seconds, and focus on letting go of any and all tension/constriction of hamstring muscles. You'll notice your fins will slooooowly start to fall. Often times, divers (myself included!) think they're relaxed and they may be. But, searching for and finding those deeper layers of relaxation lengthens our dives, heightens the beauty of our experience underwater, and....drops our fins!
Ryan, I love this kind of video! I would love to eventually see this kind of stuff on Spotify. Not sure if you will see this but I have a question. How would you recommend a new Spero to network within the spearfishing community? With me being so new I am a bit too shy to reach out to other speros because I don't want to be a burden for them. Any tips?
I understand weights on a belt is different for everyone, and different for each diving situation. But for pros like you and Justin, how thick are you wetsuits? On average, how much weight are on your belts? What factors are considered to reduce or increase the weights on your belts?
Did great. Awesome info anytime you bring Justin or Sam it’s good as well. Being a haoli who lived and surfed in Hawaii for 15 years, it’s always interesting how your relationship with Justin is. Obviously, Justin is an awesome dude and I love to see the relationship between you two because it is really two different cultures. They really don’t want no part of the mainland mentality, which is for the best. I love the local way and many of my closest friends were locals rather than mainlanders. It takes a bit, but is very genuine. Shoutout to lifeguard and dive buddy TJ Ho awesome dude who didn’t see color.
Aw man Stop hatin’ on the bromance. 😂Justin is a salt of the earth fella and Ryan is a hell of a waterman. Real recognize Real. You’re corny AF with that take. “That’s an interesting relationship…” 🤓
I want to get into spearfishing, however, I'm from central Alberta. I trades some stuff and got a pretty nice pole spear that is from Hawaii. My goal this year is to try and spear a whitefish or burbot. Any tips for cold freshwater lakes?
You should go all diving education. Or somebody should. All other industries have instruction up the yin Yang on yt, not sure why spearfishing is the laggard. I would seriously consider it. Your channel would blow up I bet. You’d make some enemies but that’s true in every industry that now has quality yt instructionals
Hey Ryan, I know in the past you've been on trips to Florida, I have been watching dive videos from a guy out of Key West, Was curious if you know Key West Waterman(Aaron Young)? A Collab video with the both of you would be a good watch.
hahahahahhhhh, You said "30 ft of vis or anything less than that." 10 ft of vis is a great day here, 20 ft is rare. We watch your videos, Love them, they're great, but it's hard to relate. I use a 65cm gun.....I have a 90 and can't see the end of the gun most days. We can't even usually see the shadows of the rocks on the bottom in 20 ft. You should come to NJ and shoot for a few days....
Only problem with what is out already. is you already have a place for short videos. But it would be nice if you had clips from those off days. you could put in at the end of the podcast. Maybe like bloopers or one fish day clips things like that. Get feeling better brother
wow I wish I saw this before experiencing spearfishing for the first time, I just dropped my first vlog on spearfishing and would love for you to check it out!
What Island you on? I was stationed on Oahu if i ever come back can i go out there with u? How can i pm you? Hawaiians called me the Red Lobster 🦞 because i got burned so bad!!!
when is samahgram going to make a page for her cooking!?

Love it can’t wait for more! Would love an in depth tutorial on how you rig your gun and how you tie that knot you mentioned
This was a great format, nice and chill, no ego, just good solid info. Really enjoyed it. I would have liked a little demo of the knot you mention.
Get well and diving soon.
I don't have friends in diving so I'm pretty much self taught. My breath hold is in the 1 minute now and consistent in the 20-50 feet.
First rule,dive Alone..die alone bud. I'm SOLO too, please be careful ❤
Cool gamer tag, come call of duty mobile 😂😂❤❤
I like the format. Your channel is the best on YT for learning diving and spearfishing techniques. I recently saw on Daniel Mann's channel a world champion justifying leaving the snorkel in the whole dive and the reason was very compelling. I'd like to know your thoughts on the topic.
Just watched that as well, very interesting. Tried it a couple times, swallowed water. Not used to it for sure LOL.
Thank you so much for your info, please make more! helped me a lot.
Oh wow! Was curious about that bump. Had the same procedure done on my lower eye lid. (Fun!) Glad you got it handled and hoping for a speedy recovery. And selfishly, more videos!
Loving this style of video. It’s nice to hear all your tips and tricks. Keep up the great content.
Great video ! Tons of info ! Wondering what your thoughts are on breath hold time , what’s a good baseline for spearing in around 30ft ?
Glad to see you go the podcast/ Q&A style videos!!! Can't wait to see what the future holds an what I learn.
Pretty cool to just be able to listen to your thoughts on all these questions. Maybe just add a couple photos for additional info on some of the stuff you're mentioning. Keep up the content, its super fun to watch and all.

Thanks for teaching us a ton already, and now dialing in specific q&a! You're the best!
Thank you a lot Ryan for all the tips
Great answers to questions we hear a lot as well!
