Last day of Grouper Season 2024
Today is the last day of grouper season. Wildlife screwed us this year and only gave us 45 days to catch 1 grouper per person, 2 per boat. Very irritating! Well enjoy this beautiful dive on a new-to-me spot!

Clearest dive in NC - Normania
มุมมอง 2.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This weekend we dove twice at the Normania. It was the clearest dive I've ever had. We caught our limit of lobsters, and groupers, and got to kill off some lionfish as well while trying out the Aquatic Hunt container and spear. This will be the last time we dive the Normania this season.

2nd dive of the season. Our first with the scooter. I learn how to use it while catching some yummy lobsters. I'm also adjusting to several pieces of new equipment in this dive so don't consider this to be anything near an expert dive :)

Hungry shark sighted at Normania Wreck, Wrightsville, NC, 7/24/22!
มุมมอง 482ปีที่แล้ว
This is a short clip from one of our dives at the Normania wreck. On the way back up during our safety stop we encountered a good sized shark that was very aggressive with multiple attempts to come towards us until we got into the boat. Shark came close enough that I nudged it away with my speargun. Shark appears to be missing the top half of it's tail. Enjoy :)

8/29/21 - Dove several spots and managed to find quite a few hogs to spear! One of the best weekends of diving we could have. Got to try on a new set of flippers that made a big difference in how quickly I could move around too.

During this dive I caught a bunch of lobsters but couldn't find any fish worthy of the spear. All the Lobsters you see me let go of were females with eggs. Caught 2 good sized males and made them into some awesome Lobster Bisque! Another beautiful visible day of diving off North Carolina!

Welcome to this single-take tour of the Normannia. We had amazing visibility on this dive with a drastic thermocline but unfortunately no fish worthy to catch. This was a beautiful dive with somewhat challenging currents! Enjoy! "The Normannia is one of the prettiest wrecks off of North Carolina. Generally, it lies on it keel and is contiguous. The bow and stern are relatively intact and provid...

How deep was the wreck?
Your spearing skills are horrible
Scuba is lame, learn to hold your breath
We are diving relatively close. I go out of Southport a few times a year. Just a suggestion, if you don’t want to freeshaft. Push the spear all the way through the fish, like free shafting, and unclip the shooting line from the gun. Pull everything through your fish. You didn't seem to struggle with that fish too long, but it may be faster and easier than fighting with a flopper. The other thing you could do is use an oring to keep then flopper down. Safe diving.
Good ideas. I thought of that too while doing it. The flopper was down but kept hooking on the flesh at the end of coming out. Probably would have been faster to pull it through and remove the ring like you said for sure. Thanks for the feedback!
The line is on your gun backwards the rubber goes by the gun
Yes the rubber on the shaft side is not normal but not sure it hurts anything. May wear out that piece a little faster because it's absorbing more shock being closer to the fish and getting rubbed up against ledges and wrecks.
To note, the owner of Lobster League told me they do have better material to handle these bigger lobsters and he is helping me get that taken care of. Those guys are awesome! :) Definitely the best snare I've used yet, and the only one I've seen where the builder actually backs it. Check them out here: www.lifeleaguegear.com/collections/lobstering-collection-2024
Great customer service is everything. Thank you. Cant wait to send you the other loop we would recommend using in the Carolinas!
I am interested in a Carolina version of the lobster snare.
Do you ever bring other divers out?
Yep every time. I've met quite a few new folks over the past year.
@@carolinaseahornets very interested in going.
I was quickly scrolling through the video thinking, 'Spearfishing with a scuba tank isn't really spearfishing.' I paused at 21:46 just to witness someone missing a sleeping lionfish with a pole spear tfifteen times in a row. Not exactly impressive.
I agree, not impressive. The worst spear I've used, yet. Hopefully I'll be getting better shots tomorrow with my regular spear and a full box of lionfish.
Man that is great viz. I wish we had that here in Myrtle Beach. Our viz has gone down a lot lately. Great fishing.
Looks like the eddy is moving south as well as the better vis. Our vis this weekend has gotten worse. So maybe you'll get better vis as the season moves on.
I have 2 comments 1st- what are the leash like things you wear on your ankle, I also scuba dive out of Wilmington and haven’t seen those before. 2nd- you said that you wear shark shield to protect against sharks. What is that?
You answered #2 with #1 :) It's a shark shield by ocean guardian. Very well worth the money. I've got at least a few videos on here proving it.
@@carolinaseahornets does it give off an electromagnetic pulse like the sharkbanz or just a deterrent
It is a battery strapped to your ankle on a 6' wire lead. If it touches you a certain way, it shocks you with a pulse. It sends out electrical waves. Sharkbanz is a completely different product. I used to use sharkbanz forever ago. I couldn't tell it did anything.
@@carolinaseahornets Awesome, Thanks
Whats the reason for passin up on the other lobsters? They looked decent sizes
Our limits are ridiculously low. 2 per person per day and I had my limit. I wish they'd let us catch more like Florida!
@carolinaseahornets ah right that makes sense. Yeah 2 per person is definitely the lowest I've heard of
What great visibility! A couple of great dives. I appreciate your narration. Would love to hear even more comments about what you were seeing and thinking as you went through your dive, and identifying some of the other 'shootable' fish that come into view of your camera. I am learning a lot from other divers like yourself right now and beginning to implement it into my own diving. And for those who are not spearfishermen and just watching because they love the underwater, having you point out various kinds of fish would make it more enjoyable and educational. Thanks!
I'll try that on some future videos. I figured people didn't really want to hear me speak so much and rather enjoy the views.
usar los pulmones..
Please continue your voiceover during the dive. Great dive.
Btw I absolutely loved the shark fishing coming up! Very interesting technique 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊
You need to work on your breathing skills! Relax!!! Slow and steady! Your body needs to buy proper fins, relax his legs movements, and adjust his tank height because the BC is way too high!!! See how the valve hits his head restricted neck movements? Also, his buoyancy needs to be adjusted! Another 2 lbs of weight would have done it! Long free diving fins are not intended or any good at all for the kind of diving you are doing! Try the military scubapro heavy turbo fins! You will improve everything with the right tool!!! Plus a million other problems hard to not have had noticed! I have been an instructor trainer with over 3000 certifications worldwide since 1985. Also, I have 17 years of working as a commercial diver under my belt! Take my advice tobthe bank! 😊😊😊😊
I've tried 4 different sets of fins, a couple different ones were scubapro. The best luck I've had are with my freediving fins. I have the least amount of leg cramps and I'm able to go the furthest on them without getting as winded. I agree I definitely need to work on my breathing. I always do. It's definitely gotten slowly better year after year though.
Verrygood youcan odit
I would love to know what wreck that is. Great video. I dive out of Murrells Inlet mostly.
Nice Dive, glad you got your reup on the cobia! I have been tempted to try out the Carolinas for spearfishing myself. Any charter or areas you recommend? Thanks in Adv!
There's a few good groups in our area, Aquatic Safaris, Wetsu, Carolina Beach Scuba. and some others. It can be challenging here!
Awesome dive and nice shot on that cobia! That wreck isn't too far from the lobster wreck is it?
That electric motor sound…. Are you riding an underwater “Rascal?” The terrestrial equivalent being the the scooter of the same name. They’re usually located near t he entrances of Walmarts/K-Marts, (or insert your version of soul-crushing establishment here). Just jokes brotha😎Looks like an insanely rad day in the water. Pretty amazing shots with the Cobia/rays overhead🤙 I feel your pain deeply re: gun on safe💩💩🤬🤬 Been there done that too many times. Hard to find a trigger that will reliably reset for a second shot versus locking up post sonofabitch safety shot. Stay safe brosef, no worry too much about da Manos 🦈Looks like a healthy spot, marine life behavior looks to be consistent with being well fed. Keep enjoying life, time flies on by🤙😎
Beautiful amazing but I have not the patience
I'm gonna be calling Dr Davis "Captain Joe" from now on when I go in for my back adjustments ;-)
Way cool. I need my own boat to do some lobstering here in Myrtle Beach. Charters dont take us to ledges like that.
As an aspiring NC scuba diver working towards spear fishing, I really appreciate the extra work of you going back and adding narration. I'm definitely planning on adding the Ocean Guardian to my equipment list! Thanks.
Such a nice boat. Congrats on that! Looking forward to this season's videos. And so glad to hear your report on the lobster population. That is something I am looking forward to experiencing, maybe by the end of summer or this fall.
Look forward to your 2023 season
That shark was just trying to make an appt with Dr. Davis to get his back adjusted!

Yall got room for one more? Just moved out, and this looks super fun!
Dude, just moved here and didn't know this was a thing. Awesome video!
Dispatch them fish Yr quality of fish would be so much better and it’s the humane thing to do
If I don't stone them with the spear, I brain them as soon as possible with my knife. Once on the boat, I bleed them. I prefer not to bleed a fish while 100+ft under water.

Nice video my friend, take care ang god bless,,,
friend your video is very beautiful and sea life is very beautiful So interesting that one gets lost in it
Does this lead you to think about investing in a Shark Banz or something like that? I see a good number of divers wearing them on videos.
I have used their shark banz2 bracelet for years. After 2 dive trips I had this season where we encountered unusually more aggressive sharks than normal, I decided to buy their Freedom7. Since then I haven't even so much as seen a shark whereas I'm used to seeing at least one or two most dives. The only downside to the Freedom7 is it's very common for me to shock myself, especially while on the bottom trying to catch a lobster. That part sucks, but I will still continue to dive with it regardless.
Cool. We are not allowed to use tanks here in NSW Australia. Bummer dude.
Hello dear,I'm newbie on your chanel😍🤘
Great video. Nice music.
Appreciate your ‘introduction’. Enjoy your videos. Did my first diving off Wilmington in July. In time hope to duplicate some of your adventures. Would love to see a few details added (depth, type of fish harvested, etc.). Would enjoy a list of your equip used, as someone building out their own kit. Thanks. Look forward to more vids.
We hope you enjoy the video! Let us know what you think! I'm also thinking of doing some reviews on the gear we use, and possibly even some cooking videos on the awesome food we make with these catches. Just last week I made an amazing white wine lobster bisque that was amazing! For my office Thanksgiving party I made a lobster mac-n-cheese that was gobbled up very quickly.
I always wanted to start diving, but not anymore ! The music down there is just too loud . 😂
I wonder if it had anything to do with the sushi platter hanging off your belt...
You have to love a hog that watches a shaft go by and the hangs around to see if you have another one to send his way... :)
What are you wearing around your left ankle?
That's a sharkbanz 2. Most people put it on their wrist, but it gets stuck on my knife, or gun, so the ankle is the most convenient.
Cool Video
Great video! Planning on diving one day , I live in Wilmington and always wanted to do it
I really love underwater videos like this…I love to fish the coast of Wrightsville so to see all the fish swimming around was pretty phenomenal to see!
Nice video. Bet that lobster was good eating!! Looks like the good times.
