Clearest dive in NC - Normania

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.

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.

Man that is great viz. I wish we had that here in Myrtle Beach. Our viz has gone down a lot lately. Great fishing.

[@carolinaseahornets]

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?

[@carolinaseahornets]

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

[@carolinaseahornets]

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

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.

[@carolinaseahornets]

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.

Your spearing skills are horrible
