That wreck loads up with wahoo in December. I've taken them on fly rods. The Araby is getting dived pretty heavy by commercial divers now. It gets hit weekly when the weather is good.
Had a feeling you were going to thump that big Reef Donkey. I ve been watching your channel again and I like to see what species I can spot and I D. I have a few friends that rec. dive and have asked them questions coming from watching your channel with limited success. I really didn't know it was possible to dive the depths you do using scuba gear. I've wondered if you have to use different gas mixture such as helium mix after certain depths and some dives it appears you are alone and does it not worry you something could slip in on you as you are occupied with searching for next target. I guess if you were you d have a partner or like me be watching someone else diving LOL. Awesome spearing Stay safe .
He goes after Gags 1st , and then other types if he has the time . The Gags will disappear fast from any location so you got to be selective or they are gone . On the deeper dives he normally only has about 3-4 minutes MAX on the bottom to get whatever he can , or it adds lots more stops to decompress on the way back up .
Buen video amigo anq en el minuto 3:23 seteestaba untando un negrio grande en la barilla y no le disparastes me hibiera gustado busiar ahi y sacar todo ese pescado sañudos desde sisal yucatan mexico
@dan I was pretty shocked when I saw you were diving the araby.. you drove your boat all the way south for that? I love fishing that wreck usually a lot more Africans and blacks on it .. every heard of a wreck called the phosphate ?
Dan, are you going to the St Pete Open? I'm going up with a couple crews from Ft Myers and we all want to meet you if you will be there! lets get in touch
Hello Mr. Dan I am a person who loves diving fishing and I have been following you well for years. May I ask you a question to inquire about something you use in fishing while diving... What is that piece that you attach to the tip of the spear and hit the fish with? Does it contain a specific detonator to do this fast effect on the fish? Please answer, and thank you very much
He uses a Powerhead loaded with a 7.62x54R rifle cartridge . That is a .30 caliber bullet but he has the casings he has made for him honed to .32 caliber so it will not cause as much damage to the fish . He has a local machine shop make his Powerhead casings for him , and he adds the rest needed to make the Powerheads himself . With the big rifle cartridge the Powerhead will still have enough balls to work great even on his deeper dives .
You never know what will be down there until you show up . Dan keeps records so he will know what HAS BEEN down there on previous dives to same location , and he does not visit the same place again for some time .
Man, great video but we ALWAYS want to see the fish on the boat!

Damn y'all didn't go after none of those Big Cabreras nor Scamps.. I couldn't pass them up.

I've seen the Araby absolutely carpeted in 40# blacks, and seen it a ghost town. Cool dive regardless.
Smooth AJ delivery 🤙🏽
Why don’t you harvest the snapper?
Did anyone see the African Pampano at 8:22?

Dont you want other fish accept grouper ?
love that wreck
Are you out of commission for some reason? Why no new footage? Love all your stuff.
Yeah, lets see some recent video.
Rumor is he sold the boat and moved to Tennessee
What size bullets do you use for those explosive tips
762x54
Didn't know you guys went that far south. We're you in Steinahatchee?
Is Black Margate good market value or tablefare? I see them quite often but never take, not sure if I'm missing out.
Only had it once but it was similar to mangrove snapper
Is the motor still kicken on that shipwreck 🤣
Good Day Sir ‼️ What kind of Speargun/Spear/PH are you using ⁉️
What was that noise around 4:50, was it the dive boat?
didn’t go for that AP??
When Randy Batts is on the boat, I know I’m about to watch something cool die!
only thing that blows my away was that aj pays better than a cubera insane lol
Dan with a dive like this with not a nice catch...for this depth of diving is that an "expensive dive"? Im asking cause i dont do scuba.
You never know what will be down there until you show up . Dan keeps records so he will know what HAS BEEN down there on previous dives to same location , and he does not visit the same place again for some time .
three tanks... ? i thought tri mix was around even in the 90's.... yah, i don't dive, why 3 tanks?
..those fish you wanted to shoot were not black margates. they are white margates..
show us the Araby maid ...racism
