Wow- what a great video. Crazy to see all those salmon and the rockfish/cab me on activity. My goal is to eventually sustain off everything I fish so to see you do it and be local to PNW is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
No worries man and thanks for the comment. That's a great goal man and totally possible where we live. More people need to adopt that way of life. Good luck man!
Thanks man! I think this in my favorite one too. The edit wasn't a difficult one with that footage though. That salmon dive was something else! Thanks for the support man!
@@PNWSamson so, you ARE an artist! I was born an artist - I couldn't change it if I wanted too! What I know is that there is NO art I can create - I can only bring my own interpretation and presentation to what the Creator has already created. I worship the Creator, not the creation! God bless you!
Cheers man and thanks for the support. I hear the great lakes have some cool wrecks to explore though. Apparently they last much longer in fresh water so some are quite the sight. I'd love to dive around Ontario one day, but spearfishing is pretty sweet too.
I agree! The whole vid was good but the River Salmon was GREAT! Funny thing I thought about though, I picture myself on the bank with fishing rod debating with my fishing partner about, whether we should move, cause there's no fish here today. Mike
How did you get started in this? Sure must have taken a long time learning everything it takes to do this......so many things involved to be great at this such as yourself. We do not get to see the amazing and terrific West Coast so personally like this. I feel there isn't enough of this to show and teach of our West Coast....... Would love to see you fill the hole on this type of knowledge and protection of mother nature. Prayers up to the Creator for you. Much needed and incredibly majestic. Great job!
Amazing, that means a lot to hear. And I agree, the more people who are aware of the beauty of our ocean, the more people there will be who respect/protect it. Freediving was pretty easy for me, but I was already comfortable in and around the ocean. I think that's where most people struggle at first. I'm not a professional by any means but with a little practice some people can dive 20m or so. Getting some education is important and also practice with people who have experience. Or did you mean the filming editing? Haha
Cheers! Kelp beds come and go with the seasons. Unfortunately many are disappearing along our coast. East Sooke, Renfrew and Ucluelet are usually pretty good though. Diving in kelp is unreal.
Hey Chris, All your vids are just a wow! I was freediving with the salmon last Sunday, September 6th in Nanaimo River by the bridge. Same place you dove a couple of times. Not as many fish as in your vid, though, but still pretty impressive and unexpected.
It's pretty amazing isn't it. I love that spot too. I saw a couple of salmon when I was there too. Only two and they were deep and swam away before I could get close. Are they spring salmon or pinks in that river? I'm not sure myself. Cheers;
@@PNWSamson I think they were pink salmon. They were circling and maintaining distance from me. Only on my third dive they came really close. I had to be really patient and lied motionlessly on the bottom. The deepest spot in that area is 9.7 m according to my comp. That’s where the fish were.
@@PNWSamson that's a new saying to me and it makes sense haha! I have no clue where to start other than my overall fitness and maybe diving practice. But once I get that down I guess all I need is a spear 😅 I know it's a really tough hobby. But I will try it!
@@PNWSamson Been diving into Garden Bay lake to get over my fear of the darkness, no gear but now I keep my eyes open, I think the blurry makes it less scary lol. Dove into Earl's Cove today, the jelly's are out.. and yah lesson learned don't open your eyes in salt water to avoid jelly's... it hurts! Ok I need a mask now. What did you start with?
WOW WOW WOW, there has to be grants out there to help you grow. Have you thought of Environmental, Art, Media, Grants that may be available to you in order to grow what your doing? Would love to see your visions become reality. Truly stunning and magical.
Haha I never thought about that! It's just a hobby but some help to make it something more would be amazing. Film school or some editing courses would even be a good start but between work, diving and being a dad my time is limited. I should make some time though!
@@PNWSamson i totally hear you....it's brutal right now for us all. That's why I love channels like yours.....I can be with nature and passion. I would look into it forsure. I know there are many and even just to help you upgrade your equipment, pay for more marketing of your channel, etc. Maybe some indigenous communities also would connect with you.....so much is changing and developing, love to see someone like yourself and a family to feed be blessed for such passion and love of nature.
No worries! I took my freediving training with Oceanoid. They are great people. There is also Luca with sea to sky freediving. Those are the only two locally at the moment but keep an eye out for ocean pro divers. Apparently they are going to be teaching freediving soon too. Can you make it to Vancouver Island at all? If so my buddy Josef with NW freedivers teaches or Bottom Dwellers
Hey! See you are wearing a Mako suite. Im looking to get the same also im in Vancouver island. Do you wear a 5MM or 7 and if you wear a 5 do you find it warm enough?
No worries! 7mm for sure. You'd get away with a 5 in the summer but you can't go wrong with a 7mm. The island west coast stays pretty cold even if the summer so yeah, 95% of us dive with 7mm!
Hey bro, love the videos,. Could you raise the volume on your voice just a tad? Sometimes it’s a hard to hear you over the background. I am local to the area and love your work. I feel lucky to live this island life.
Yeah man the island is a gem! Haha I'm pretty amateur with editing and I'm struggling trying to get the volume right. It's other to quite or when I turn the volume up on the mic the sound gets distorted. I have a blue yeti which is apparently a really good mic that I can't figure out. Thanks for the feedback though, hopefully I can master it one day soon!
Thanks bro! I'm on Vancouver Island now plus there is not much to harvest around Vancouver besides crab. If your on the island though feel free to hit me up. I'd recommend getting some freediving experience/training before grabbing a gun though. Freediving alone is a fairly steep learning curve for most.
What would be the best gear to get for free diving (if long list thats okay, just dont waste your time spelling it out) and what place would you recommend for good first time diver training around vancouver.
Great content man! Im diggin this 💯 Do those Cabezon skins taste any good? Also you gotta tell me how that puget king crab tastes. Stay safe out there brother
Thanks man! I just eat the Cabezon meat. I fillet and skin them. I love Cab though. They are slimy but super tasty once cooked. As for Puget, also delicious. Right up there with Dungeness!
@@PNWSamson I’m trying to get as much harvesting/ experiencing the coast done before I move to Idaho next month! Wish they had a season over here for those king crab! Glad to see you’re doin well! Stay safe
Hey Sam, great vid! I'm looking to get into free diving, I'm curious, if you're going to buy a new wet suit, how thick would you go 5/7/9 mm for diving in Vancouver Island? Thanks and keep it up with the vids.
Hey man, no problem. Not sure if you watched this video but I talk about wetsuits, thickness and quality. I personally would go with 7mm if I were you. m.ruclips.net/video/P2FWEtyDIOE/видео.html
Haha hopefully one day! I had flights booked in May but that got cancelled. And if I go now I would have to self isolate for 2 weeks. Taking 3 weeks off work for 1 week vacation isn't worth it. My wife is there for 3 weeks, I'm pretty envious haha
I'm originally from Washington, and recently got into freediving and have gone a couple times when I visit family. Could I ask the details about your wetsuit? I was looking at a 5.5 mil freediving open cell and was thinking that would be sufficient. I can't last long with old 3/2 surf suit with a 2 mil vest underneath for layers.
Awesome. I use a 7mm farmer John open cell suit made with Yamamoto neoprene. You would definitely be warmer with a 5.5mm and probably be good in the summer but if you want to dive all year I would look for a 7mm. I would also recommend a farmer John suit not a waist cut because it will double the amount of neoprene you have over your core. Plus look for a high quality neoprene, like Yamamoto, as your suit will be warmer, more stretchy plus an added bonus of being eco-friendly.
@@PNWSamson I heard that 7mm was too restrictive and you end up needing too much weight, so I was trying to stay as thin as possible.

@@calvinh208 those are valid points. The thicker the suit the more restrictive and the more lead you will need. If you can afford it, get both. That's what I did. If you are looking for an overall suit for winter/summer I would just get 7mm. If you are a summer diver a 5.5mm should do fine. I sometimes rock 5mm bottoms with a 7mm top. You might want to consider that. Regardless of the suit, just make sure it's a high quality neoprene or it will compress to a 3mm after a few dives. I had a 7mm long John in that video. Honestly, Vancouver Island west coast has been cold this year. I was shivering in some areas with a 7mm. It's a tricky call.
@@PNWSamson suits are expensive...maybe I should just do the 7mm so I can use it if I go back to Alaska. This feedback has been very informative. With this level of quality vids, I would guess you'll see you're subs spike. Thanks again!
That was a black rockfish! One of the more abundant and fast going rockfish. Super delicious and comparatively sustainable from other rockfish species.
Delos for life! They are a huge inspiration. My wife and I lived on a boat for a year due to their inspiration. When we had Sayla the goat had to go though. The Fraser River is a dangerous place to raise a kid haha. It was fun while it lasted! And yeah man, I only eat seafood I harvest. It motivates me to dive plus I know my fish are sustainably caught.
@@PNWSamson Very Cool. We are currently saving for a Catamaran to move onto and sail away for a while. We want to circumnavigate with our son. Show him cultures he wouldn't other wise see. it has always been my dream to do the pacific crossing from the Ecuador to the Marquesas. I have friends who have been in Fiji living on boats with other kid boats since the start of the pandemic. So that is something we want to foster in our son. Exploration and more family time. I would not want to raise my child on the Fraser either. I wouldn't mind moving aboard while we are in Victoria though. Spearfishing i've been motivated to start because of Brody Moss from YBS youngbloods, Riley and Elena from Lavagabonde, and more recently by you.
Aaah I hear ya man. We moved back to Nova Scotia for 5 years when I was younger. We couldn't wait to move back the second we left. It made me appreciate BC that's for sure. Ontario has some pretty nice wreck diving though! Winter diving in crystal clear water looks epic.
@@PNWSamson im right on the north shore or lake Superior. Can be great diving if your dressed warm enough. The cold makes it pretty desolate though. No where near the life you see in the oean. BUT if you are a wreck diver and histroy buff, this is your JAM without a doubt.
