I really appreciated this video. This wasn't a mindless list, you shared insights into situations one may encounter and why. Including things like a little bit of water in an untreated mask, not great but it's something. I've never heard anyone else mention multiple knives (especially considering the kelp, I never even thought about that). I'll be sure to get a visible suit if I find myself purchasing something. I've spent the last couple months learning about reel and rod fishing, but I've been meaning to pivot the experience into spearing. Thanks for a very quality video!

Absolutely agree with the visibility advice. Camo is absurd. Everything goes grey at depth. Pick a color and a pattern your dive partner can see, because the fish don’t care.

Great insights! Love from Hawaii. Hoping to land a job in Orange County and try what SoCal and Baja has to offer

Instead of burning, I'm using Fairy, the dish washer liquid, very cool, last for the whole dive session

the safest way to spear is when using a reel gun attach it to a belt that it is also attached to a float line with a longer line so If iget tangled I gust drop the belt and pick everything up later this only worse in open ocean though and your float line wont pull your gun when aiming

Just found your channel, Hello from Aussie, nice tips. Re Wetties, I try not to look like a Seal or a Turtle myself, and I have a yellow snorkel which is a great vis tip for your buddies! Really enjoyed the video just subbed to see more, cheers for sharing it, Dive Safe!

What’s one spearfishing mistake you’ve seen during your dives?

A mixture of baby shampoo and water is the best anti fogger in the world. Put it in a bottle and spray a mist on your lenses. Never have fog again.

What’s the brand of your camo weight belt ?

Great video. The ocean swell and kelp will test your abilities to reload your gun.

Dont sharks see in contrast? Which means you want to avoid uneven tanlines and bright colors?

I have camo suit and will prob always use that pattern because I like it. I do have a bright orange snorkel and the one 2kg lead on my belt placed on the middle of my back is siliconised in bright yellow. The rest is just normal metall with no coating.

This way when I'm belly down on the bottom my buddy will be able to see my yellow lead on my back and for boats the lead and snorkel will be visible.
