As an avid spear-fisherman this is one of the best spearfishing videos on RUclips. It has a bit of everything. The vast colors and abundant marine life is what Baja is all about, untouched. To me this is "real" spearfishing.
Thanks, I really enjoy spearfishing because it is both a challenge and a meditation. I use the fish for personal consumption and I love to cook for my family and friends. Fresh fish is like nothing else. Top quality! I am grateful.
I scuba but have been practicing my free dive skills and have been following Kimmy Werner. Love this brother! I also eat what I catch and share with those that can't make ends meet. Pretty rewarding to see people smile. That is thanks enough! I love this vid. Thanks for the Stretching tip Dan! You and Al, good on ya both!
Friend thanks for coming to mexico, I lived in Mexico and I was born in mexico baja California original. I respect the tourists .... welcome friends great video!!!
I used to do low level diving 15 years ago when smoking- spearfishing and just couldn't stay down so long , I was about 43 then . Gave up smoking 5 years ago , but haven't tried to dive in this time. Wander how long I could last now, probably a lot longer. Your video has lit a spark of interest again, fantastic , just beautifull down there as well .
Man, these places you've been to...they're like the Garden of Eden of the Sea....what a bounty! Your equipments are great!!!! I love the clarity of your videos too especially the underwater scenes.
I love spearfishing, there is a big element of fun to me, but my primary reason for spearfishing is to harvest the fish for food. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing where your food came from, what it ate, how it lived it's life, what it's migrations patters are, and catching the fish in the most sustainable and difficult way possible. Spearfishers take less than .01% of the fish taken in the world. I release what I don't want by not shooting them, and I only catch what I want to eat!
Love the videos brings back memories of spear fishing in the old days with low tech equipment we made our selves. before reals we ran flourencent floaring nylon ropes several hundred feet long for large fish with floats attached and a fish ring hanging down from the floats(japanese net floats and life guard floats).
Much better eco way of fishing Dan! Love to dive the area you show on videos,water looks so clear and warm! I dive mainly in Cornwall or West Wales United Kingdom waters warm in summer time,wish we had fish like that in our shores fantastic,have fun and stay safe keep the vids coming enjoy!
I just got back from Lanai, HI where i went spear fishing and lobster hunting for my first time. I've never been in to fishing but this a whole new level!
this video is extremely inspiring, I used to spearfish in costa rica off the point in garza! It was amazingly beautiful I wish i could of gotten video !!! This is amzing keep the videos comming!!!
Great video! I enjoyed every shot! I spear in the Dominican Republic but usually here people don´t spearfish in blue water or pelagic fishes, they fish at the reefs.... I´d love to do what you do. Once again...great video!
Awesome video. First time I see a profesional Spearfishing in salty waters. I use to spearfish with bike spokes and rubberbands in river at San Bernardino CA. These a huge fishes you are catching great job. I just love that Speargun, had never seen one with reel. Keep up the good work Dan. Im actually from Baja California, now in Mexicali. I love fishing no matter how i catch them. Take care amigo.

It is difficult to describe why spearfishermen enjoy doing what they do. You just have to try it. It is not for everyone, but experiencing the death of your food can really give you full appreciation of what you are eating.
Thanks for responding, I know it's a different world under water. And to see God's creation and you being among them in that way and giving us footage is amazing. Again, Thanks
exelente buceo,A ver sinos das informacion de peces del lado del mar de cortes en baja california sur y como poder capturarlos.Ya quehace poco un familiar mio pesco uno grande yselo estaba llevando ademas que no tiene mucha experiencia conel arpon nuevo que compro,que es igual al que usas,podriasdarnos orientacion?
man great video, i hope sometime in my life i may be able to try this, but up here in the arctic circle there isn´t to my knowledge any place were you can do this and it is quite expensive to travel to baja from were i live, and i also wanted to ask you if you have any good tips for a beginner, like what equipment to use and stuff like that.
That is a great question. I package all the meat into coolers to bring home. I vacuum seal and label by grade then freeze for the next 6 months of consumption.
Freediving is one of the most demanding sports known to man. On a physiological level it is about as good as it gets for a workout! Add spearfishing to the mix and you have a massive adrenaline rush that will rival most drugs! Hard work, but very exhilarating.
Dan. Awesome. Where exactly in Baja is this? sea or pacific side? Isla El Muerto, Isla San Luis? San Isidro Basin? where does Al Schneppershoff operate? thanks
@cashbutton7 , I have been having fun with my Manny Puig pole spear and I have been using the stock band that it comes with. What type, thickness and length band do you use on yours?
Thanks for the info. And I wil, most definitely get trained before I try this. And two other question- Oxygen tank? And do you sell the fish sometimes or just eat it with so e buds?
Great video man! Have always wanted to spearfish since I was a little kid. WoW...you guys got it all down pat too. Awesome stuff boys & Thanks for the show on how its done!
Liquid Image adds collar correction and white balance correction to the firmware. Every once in a while, the red would not adjust quick enough and it would result in a red surface for a split second. Since then they have fixed the problem and updated the firmware. I have not seen this issue since then. I was using a prototype at the time.
@divemakings , Yes, I took both the level 1 and level 2 classes from FII, and now I am actually a freediving instructor for FII, certified to teach both level 1 and 2 classes.
Can you make an all halibut video. I love shooting them but never have gone anywhere they are very big like that one. Im in the marine corps. They don't let us go to mexico. Where in SoCal would you recimend?

6:30 is amazing! I can't wait to take your Apnea and Spearfishing classes!
parabens, belos peixes !
Man, these places you've been to...they're like the Garden of Eden of the Sea....what a bounty! Your equipments are great!!!! I love the clarity of your videos too especially the underwater scenes.
that's just astonishing....you have such a privilege to do that for excitement and hunting.
thank you
OMG the bass in the song...
Great video LOVED it!
awesome...brings back the caveman instinct.
Your ability to hold your breath is incredible!!
Seriously what a beautiful seascape. You would think you can only see this kind of beauty on the Discovery Channel but it's out there!

TREMENDO!!
this guys spear placement is insane. I've watched a few of his vids now and I've never seen so many fish stoned in my life...

Awesome vid Dan. Your website is now top of my favorites list. Wish I had the warmer Baja waters up here!
God, this is one of the coolest thing Ive ever seen!
ive watched this guy so many time, and i havent seen him miss his shot ever
hey thanks for posting and giving info. Videos like this people pay for. Keep it up.
Epic video
El mejor vídeo que he visto hasta ahora, enhorabuena !!
I just got back from Lanai, HI where i went spear fishing and lobster hunting for my first time. I've never been in to fishing but this a whole new level!
Thanks for the response! I love your videos and hope to do some spearing down in the Keys in about week!
arent there any sharks that is drawn to the blood smell ?
It depends on where you are. Where I mostly dive, it is not an issue.
oh okay
Dan Silveira How do you know the areas that don't have shark problems ?
nope
Flip111000 I know this is an old comment but if you get a good shot the fish doesn't bleed much until you take the spear out
i couldn't imagine i would like a video like i did with this one , really awesome ...
heaps of butterfly effect, legend! Representing the Aussies!
Yes, that is one of the best parts of the fish!!!
Damn, Dan! Your footage and skills are off the chain... Wicked sweet videos and tips, thanks so much for sharing.
this video is extremely inspiring, I used to spearfish in costa rica off the point in garza! It was amazingly beautiful I wish i could of gotten video !!! This is amzing keep the videos comming!!!
These fish are very strong and will take you for a short ride. I have been freediving for over 20 years. I was a child when I started.
Badass video... Like the way you filmed it. Felt like I was there.
Yes, it is much different. It is more like accurate pointing than aiming. It takes some getting used to, but at least the shots are close.
Great video! I enjoyed every shot! I spear in the Dominican Republic but usually here people don´t spearfish in blue water or pelagic fishes, they fish at the reefs.... I´d love to do what you do. Once again...great video!

Yes, I am holding my breath.
I have 3 answers:
2 min or so when diving leisurely
3:30 when diving at peek performance.
6:30 static Apnea
I also love Bay of LA. Very cool place. Yellowtail are there in May, then in the summer, you can shoot get small grouper and dorado. Have fun!
I have to say, spearfishing looks fun as Hell.
SWEET..THATS BADASSS.......LOOKS LIKE LOTS OF FUN

Epic Spearfishing ! Great footage. Cool trip!
me pueden decir que tipo de ejercisio hacen para mantener tanto la repiracion bajo del agua ?
Badass video, This is now a dream of mine. Thank you. With the same song too.

Great vid! Enjoyed watching it, thanks
GREAT GREAT GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like you found my youtube site. Good to meet you.
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the video.
they look like inshore size fish till you haul em up on the boat !! great vid looks like a relaxing time !!
Fantastic footage and nicely edited. Subscribed!
Nice catch, it's great living off nature in a sustainable way.
This was awesome man keep it up!
man great video, i hope sometime in my life i may be able to try this, but up here in the arctic circle there isn´t to my knowledge any place were you can do this and it is quite expensive to travel to baja from were i live, and i also wanted to ask you if you have any good tips for a beginner, like what equipment to use and stuff like that.
Sounds like a lot of fun, and I am planing to visit some time soon.
Hey man this was awesome to watch. I dont have the ability to do that right now but you definetly made me intrested. thanks!
Nice man, I went spear fishing in Mag Bay and the islands surrounding it in Baja a few years back. Had the time of my life, definitely a dream spot.
That is a great question. I package all the meat into coolers to bring home. I vacuum seal and label by grade then freeze for the next 6 months of consumption.
beautiful halibut at 13:00. keep up the great work. love your videos.
at 12:00 that was the most perfect shot ive seen..congrats...those fish are very strong and make it difficult to pull them up if not shot correctly

12:03 Awesome shot!
@cashbutton7 , I have been having fun with my Manny Puig pole spear and I have been using the stock band that it comes with. What type, thickness and length band do you use on yours?
Yes, I do enjoy good visibility!
wonderful video looked like great fishing.Turtle was almost food. Fantastic closeup shot.
woah. blood looks cool underwater
What sort of fins do you recommend? And perhaps you there is a budget minded alternative you know of?
Good stuff.
Have you tried any of the ARDs (air restriction devices) to train your lungs for longer breath-holds?
question, is aiming a speargun underwater different from when you are on land? just concern about the perception underwater.
Thanks for the info. And I wil, most definitely get trained before I try this. And two other question- Oxygen tank? And do you sell the fish sometimes or just eat it with so e buds?
Great video man! Have always wanted to spearfish since I was a little kid. WoW...you guys got it all down pat too. Awesome stuff boys & Thanks for the show on how its done!
That is why we use a reel or a float line attached to a buoy. Good luck!
Yes, very exciting.
I am not afraid, but I have great respect for them, and I never underestimate their ability to inflict harm.
hey dan i was just wondering if you had a color filter on your lens causing it to look somewhat purple or if that was just an effect you added on

Too Cool! Great Video!
Muchas gracias para este pelicula magnifica
What kind of fish were those bright orange ones? That looks like a great place to go. What does it take to get into spear fishing?
Beautiful flounder at 12 minutes. What types do you catch there?
@MrNonickdude , Yes, the gun is among my all time favorites. The power, accuracy, and maneuverability is unmatched by any gun.
@divemakings , Yes, I took both the level 1 and level 2 classes from FII, and now I am actually a freediving instructor for FII, certified to teach both level 1 and 2 classes.
Great video!!! where in baja do you go to spearfishing??? i've been in some places and i dont recognize that one
Absolutely brilliant video. One of the best spearfishing vids I've ever seen. That crayfish was a monster. What did it weigh?
what size gun do you normally use for wsb and yellows?i was thinking a 110cm do you think that will do the job?
good shit, Im glad you mentioned at the end you enjoy the fish as well as hunt them.
That gun is good, i have a omer 110 and never missed a shot with it, a friend of mine told me to buy it a few years ago and i'm glad i did.
any advice on how to avoid ear pain while free diving or is that something ur body gets use to ?
awesome bro, whats the name of the last soundtrack?
The keys are a great place to spearfish. Have fun!
This is beautiful!
does that flat fish around 13:10 taste good? sorry dont know the name if it
Yeah I was thinking the same thing? You would think there would be at least one shark cruising around looking for some action?
Can you make an all halibut video. I love shooting them but never have gone anywhere they are very big like that one. Im in the marine corps. They don't let us go to mexico. Where in SoCal would you recimend?
