    As a guy who lives in the maditeranean i know how hard it is to spearfish in it . But for me , it was standard , I thought it was the same in every country ( ik stupid of me to think that ) , and I was so surprised to see someone going straight at a fish and it not escaping in other seas.

    The baracuda is a curious fish the best way to catch it is to hide between rocks and hit your gun barel in the rock or make sounds from your troat it the fish will came straight to you to see wat's going on and sorry if my english is little bit bad

    Epic mate, good effort finding the time to film everything/fly the drone. Hard enough to do it at home let alone in a totally new environment. Great editing and a good story. We are so spoilt here in Aus, definitely looks like a great place to challenge yourself over there. Look forward to diving there one day, love how soft the bottom looks everywhere!

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  6 лет назад +4

      The one man production crew is constantly being tested over here 😂 New drone basically flys itself and fits in my pocket just about so loving that. I’m looking forward to diving back home one day, I’ll probably just look and not shoot anything for the first half a day. Bottom was really soft, except for the occasional urchin.

There's a reason why there's almost no fish found in that damn body of water and this is not my personal opinion! If you do even the slightest bit of research you will find out this is true! The entire thing is collapsing, every species is down by a minimum of 30 to 60% in the last two dozen years! While many other bodies of water on the planet are actually recovering the Mediterranean is dying and that's just a fact this is not personal opinion its an actual measurable and well known scientific fact!

    After watching this video, where you as a professional diver who was spearfishing all around world and participated in many competitions have problems to catch something, I realised how hard spearfishing in Mediterranean and Adriatic sea actually is. As someone who is diving in Adriatic since childhood, and had many dives where I actually got nothing. I had no idea that there is something about the sea that makes it so hard.
    I hope you spear your dentex in Mediterranean, you deserved it!

  • @alazizaltahami4076
    @alazizaltahami4076 6 лет назад +1

    What an amazing video Dani! Cool experience and the Italians are very generous and sociable people I really like thier culture. I wish if my country (Libya) was safe so I could arrange for you an interesting trip there with my cousin and my friends who are a masterpiece in spearfishing. Spearfishing in the Mediterranean is mostly between the rock holes and the sand banks and it is difficult to find new places to fish in. Usually not all the places are full of fish. Therefore, almost the spearos in the Mediterranean dive in particular spots which are full of fish which they either discover or were passed from the previous generation to them, or by other spearo friends. I wish you good luck! your videos are amazing.

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  6 лет назад +2

      I’ve never met an Italian I didn’t like and Giuliano is one of the most generous men I’ve ever met.
      I’ve heard that only certain spots will hold fish and you just have to learn them. Like Toni knew the stones which the grouper lived in.

    Daniel thank you for this incredibly realistic and honest footage, must be one of the first of an Ocean/Australian/UK spearo coming to the Mediterranean. You said it right, fishing here is difficult and your experience has been absolutely normal, despite your good apnea times, the possibility to change spots easily with a boat and a quite rich sea like Ponza. 14:25 Corvina is of the fastest fishes you can find, nothing strange missing that shot.

      Well the thing is, in oceans fish do migrate. So even big ones not used to spearfishing as they travel a lot. However at Mediterranean fish do live in certain envoirement and at especially heavily hunted places fish do learn to scare more from divers. So here you have to go bottom of the sea, hide and then make a call for it. And still try not to be seen by fish, which makes it way way harder.

    I’ve always fished in the Mediterranean since is where I always go for holidays, and yeah these fish are not dumb around here!

      @deannelson9565 4 года назад

      Well that's because there's almost no fish left! The reason why it's well known to be the most overfished and endangered water body on the planet! You know it's pretty crazy when there's less fish there per area of water then there is off of f****** China!

    it always amazes me how there's little to no current where u guys dive. Here in my local Trinidad and Tobago, the good spots have RIDICULOUS current! The fact that you guys can dive straight down is insane to me!!!!

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  6 лет назад

      Other parts of the world I have dived there has been very strong currents. On the weekend just gone I dived a spot where the boat was moving 5 knots in the current with no wind.

    • @FaddaWolf
      @FaddaWolf 6 лет назад

      Daniel Mann oh yeah, that sounds about right. People think I'm exaggerating when I say this but on our east coast (best fishing, water most clear, most dangerous) the currents are ridiculous. You'll hear divers tell you stories of doing a 60ft dive and coming back up a mile or 2 from the boat if the current is particularly bad that day.
      On good days, we drop 300-500m before the spot, take a couple dives and get picked up after the spot. I can't wait to dive in water like what I see on RUclips. No huge waves, hardly any currents, pristine blue water.

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  6 лет назад

      Is that a mile away from the boat on a free dive? If it was a 3 minute dive to go a mile you'd be doing 32km/hr... Bit of a stretch!

    • @FaddaWolf
      @FaddaWolf 6 лет назад

      Daniel Mann oh buddy. Youd be surprised. There are columns of currents below. The last time we had a spear stuck we put a float on it
      The currents were so hard that the floats were pushed under water.
      There are a few international spearfishermen who frequent our waters. Even they call us crazy for diving on the east coast. When the currents rip. They RIP! a 60ft dive is like a 100ft dive because you think you're going straight down but you're really going at a hell of an angle.

    You should try the Azores islands, Portugal. You`ve got cheap flights, and the fishing is awsome. Just search for "spearfishing azores", and you´ll see what i mean. I live in Lisbon, but i go there every year to get my fishing on!

    • @PedroMartins-gp2ei
      @PedroMartins-gp2ei 6 лет назад

      www.azores38n.com/spearfishing-from-the-shore. This is the site of a touristic business owned by one of the best spearfishers in Azores. I usually fish in S, Miguel island, but Azores38 is based in Terceira island, both are good spots. Gui Bruges, the owner has various videos in YT. I think you should check it out. Btw, i don´t know Gui or am affiliated with the business at all, but i guess he would be a great guide to take you fishing. Also, in contrast with italian or spanish people, portuguese people in general have a good english knowledge, since we start learning english in the 5th grade, so comunication won´t be a problem at all.

    Great fascinating video.as a spearfising man in the Mediterranean I agree it is harder here than other places but sometimes when its too easy you loose interest and passion for spearfishing.Im allways amazed how clear the water are in Italy and Greece but I guess it is because of the long distance from the Nile.
