    Very very interesting not only to see the black sea underwater but also how plentyful the fish can be there.
    Your videos are so relaxing, you manage it so well to catch and portrait the feeling of being silently underwater, everything is just slow and beautiful.
    Hope we will see some more soon.

    After years of spearfishing in Croatia I understand how magical it must feel to see such a large school of Mediterranean fish, but I have to say it was hard for me seeing them being shot because of just how rare they are here. Great video and diving technique, but I am certain humans have to start restoring the nature. (Keep spearfishing it is the most ethical way to get fist)

      Thank you! If you pause at 2:12 you can see it's not a death tuck as some people call it. Just the excess looped up under so if you pull the loose tag it it all comes undone. I do it also but I don't wrap it over the belt - that would be a disaster as you say.

      In Australia it's not needed for 99% of the spearfishing there to catch a feed. In Europe it's a way of being able to do things safer with less effort and therefore less fatigue. I know you won't agree but unless you've spent an extended amount of time fishing in the Mediterranean it might not make sense. Every technique has a time and place. The previous world champion I dived with said you should never variable weight dive to gain depth, only to make things easier once you have achieved that depth constant weight.

In my mind it's a dogs way of saying I'm not scuba diving. If you spend a lifetime truely earning your catch you respect the process and yourself. So in conclusion I'm against drop weighting and fkn shark shields. Thanks for a healthy debate

    A Daniel Mann video with no mention of dentex? That's like a David Seal video without the word 'sumptuous'. Corvino look very much like American black drum or aa redfish without the spot. Maybe even a whiting here in Florida.

      It's hard to say because they all offer so much aside from the spearfishing. I think Türkiye was up there because it was so far to drive to, great food, friendly people, history and the spearfishing was fantastic.

    Back in the ussr that fish was a prized target - you had to dive deep for it and sometimes it was very difficult to extract it from their holes. The biggest I saw was 5 kilos very shallow - I got so excited that I missed at point blank range. I never saw so many in a school. However outside of Corvina (Brown meagre) this place looks desolated. Did you see any mullet there?

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  7 месяцев назад

      I've heard there are much bigger Covina around the Ukraine coastline of the Black Sea. I saw mullets, snarpsnout sargos, wrasse and stingrays. They also get massive sea bass in winter, one of Valentin's friends shot one 12kg this year.

    amazing video, my all time fave is the legendary corvina (eskina in turkey). you've mentioned it's difficult to see large shoals in the med which is generally true but my experience in the aegean is slightly different. I would recommend you find a cove or bay downstream of large fish farm if you want to see shoals. but be prepared for bad visibility 🥸

    Heaven for Rapana eroding mussels if you did not tried yet you should try them nutritious and delicasy Back In my childhood I remember I had two handmade wooden spearguns was diving pretty much everywhere in Blacksea region back in Soviets still do so when I have time personally I prefer it over Mediterranean although our Summer residency is in Italy fish is not abundant although Im highly capable experienced freediver its tiring past 40 mt dives nowadays collecting mussels clams razor clams snail catching big octopus crabs and lobster with gaff hole diving with hawaiian sling so I switch my spearfishing life its much more healthy than just spearing fish😂 Safe Dives Bro.
