- People always ask me about sharks and spearfishing so here are a few times when I have encountered them on my adventures. They are generally not too much of a problem but sometimes they can get out of hand.
Also for good measure some wahoo, Spanish mackerel, dogtooth tuna & fingermark getting speared. The sharks in this video are mostly bull sharks and bronze whalers.

Shark: Hey man what you got there?
Diver: Starts screaming
Shark: Ok ok no need to be rude jesus
IKR
"I was really shaken up and I thought I was going home with one less leg" but also "you dont need to be scared of them" haha
Look at it this way...... if u stand ur ground there is a chance it might fear that ur bigger than it. Which means it could deter the attack. However if ur cry like a bitch and run then ur telling him that he is bigger and that u are prey. And last time i checked only michael phelps can outswim a shark
You can tell you're freaked out because you're accent gets about 50 times more Aussie.
Great vid, mate. You have gigantic balls.
Your my favorite TH-camr! I used to dive all the time and life eventually got in the way. Your videos are motivating me to get back in the bubbles!
Crap - new Daniel Mann vid as I'm walking out the door for work. Sorry boss, I'm going to be 10 minutes late this morning ! Yew ! Totally worth it - "YES look at those WHALES !!!!" in soprano is going to be running through my head for the rest of the day. (Just like Hallliiiibbbboooooot ! ). Your best video yet Daniel.
Only a short one this time 😘
I meant to ask you - were they Sei, Brydes whales or Minkes ? They are not very big for baleen whales, so I'm guessing were probably something a little bit special.
I always assumed they were Minke but not 100% sure. My only other experience with Minke whales is on a Norwegian BBQ.
Brilliant (and true) answer !
man your videos are so awesome. the footage of the sharks and then the whales is just incredible. what an amazing experience
Just found your channel mate. Awesome vids and content. Love that you're explaining things as you go and not just throwing a backing track to a bunch of shots. Only half way through watching all your vids and have already learnt heaps. Have subscribed - Keep them coming!
Best spearfishing channel in my opinion :)
Thanks Boz!
Thank you Daniel, I wish I had a mentor to teach me as a young fella, sharks were always a drama diving, I believe in larger numbers and bigger than today’s because of less fishing. You are gifted in putting things in perspective. Cheers
Love your vids man keep them coming
The intro is so true with people I love it and then you just think about all the times you’ve almost died
Got scolded by a lifeguard at Daytona Beach, Florida when I was swimming in the ocean about 400 to 500 yards out. He was blowing his whistle, waving red flags, etc. I thought there was someone in distress and why wasn't he going to help them. When I ultimately came back in to shore he yelled at me telling me "There are sharks out there." I yelled back, "No Shit. It's the Ocean."
usually they do that when they have spotted large sharks like great whites/tigers/bull sharks approaching swimmers - should he not warn swimmers if they're dangerously close? dumb comment
just recently found this channel, now i'm addicted. awesome stuff!!!
Thanks man, welcome aboard!
Awesome vid bro!
Haha that last clip is one of the many reasons I won't sell my Haines V16R - Getting there and back out in a HURRY!
Bro excellent and educational video! I dived and am from the Bahamas and the two fish I respect in the sea are sharks and barracudas! They do not play! As long as you look out for them and give them their space you can hit and run all day! Lol Keep up the great footage!
Keep up with these amazing vids! You're such an inspiration. Gretings from Valencia (Spain)
Muchas gracias amigo!
Amazing man!!! Love the vids!
Such a fun watch and a great story. Awesome as always Mann!
Can't believe you guys are humans, you must be the creatures living in deep oceans and are the ones the mothers of the sharks telling the small ones to beware of, right?
Absolutely love your content. Binge watching for past few weeks. Damn!!
Bronze Whaler sharks are our menace here in New Zealand, they will come at you hard even after repeated hits to the head with a spear even when you haven’t shot a fish.
"Sometimes yelling through your snorkel can intimidate sharks"
Yeah... that... intimidation... that's for sure why I was screaming last time a bull came at me
Worked for me in that instance, I had an unloaded gun so I'm going for anything!
Daniel Mann my first and only encounter with a shark so far was in the florida keys. My buddy and I had a 3ft barracuda and a big bull followed us about 200 yards back to shore
I don’t like bulls, too aggressive for my liking.
I recently subscribe to your channel. I love your videos! Was so excited to see the notification for a new one :D Keep it up! Can't wait to see all your adventures ♥
Thanks man!
Amazing keep up the great work
Thanks man!! Stay safe!!
Best video on the tube, excellent
Another awesome Vid Dan. Thanks mate.
Thanks Gordy!
Excellent Bro 👏👏👏
Man awesome video mate keep em comin 👍
hey man I really just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to go and spearfish and freedive, its helped me get out of the house more and exercise. plz keeping making vids also
Thanks Fantomu, I’m glad you’re getting amongst it!
Just got in to your videos man keep it up I love the content.
Yay another one🙂
Yo that last clip makes me so freaking out dayum
Damn, you got out of the water real fast!😆
Nice one thanks Dan :)
That was something to watch let alone being chased by it 😂 great vid as usual 👍
Thanks mate!
Great video guys
Im amazed your channel isn't bigger tbh awesome quality
Thanks man, growing slowly!
You make my day better, even though life is taking a huge Dump on me rn. 💛
Thanks man, hope things get better for you soon.
Awesome video
As always, amazing video. Thank you for your time
I was in 1 km deep water just swimming and a 3-4 metre long dusky whaler started circling me for 5 minutes. He constantly staid 4 metres away and then left.
Such a good video
Thats crazy my man!!!
Espectacular!!
was just watching one of your older vids and this came up, loved it! btw are you going to be competing in the british championships this year?
Thanks Matthew, unfortunately not competing this year. Away for 3 of the 4 competition dates so not much point. Next year I’d like to have another go at it all.
Bro keep up with the vids, Excelente work 😃🇧🇷🇧🇷👍🤙🤙
The joys of spearfishing I guess... had a ragged tooth shark/grey nurse shark giving me horns like the zambi gave you but with me the raggie came straight to me on the bottom and followed me all the way up to the surface and tried to have a couple bites and pushed the shark off 3 times just before I got on the boat..
In South Africa we tend to have alot of shark action especially from the black tip shark and the bull shark/zambi but only on surten area's such as protea bank's and aliwal shoal when the fish are cooking.. yet we risk it🙈🙈
Keep the good video's up... definitely a fan of your channel👍
Thanks Renier. The grey nurse sharks are far from timid labradors like the scuba divers would have you believe. I should put up a video where a good mate of mine was charged at 32m by one!
Daniel that would definitely be cool to see especially for the people that hasn't experienced something like that👌 the grey nurse shark is tame here as well but the moment we go to hole in the wall in the transkei they become more agro and aggressive
*PLEASE* do - nobody believes me ! A few of my mates have had "interesting" moments with "placid" Grey nurses wanting their kings while spearing on the Twelve mile reef off Tweed heads. I'll never forget how "placid" GNS's are from my own experiences chasing longtails & cobia on the NSW north coast.
You deserve a lot more subs for sure bro!
Too kind Sir!
You look like my favorite architect from Denmark, Bjerke Ingels
Awesome content 💪🙌💯
Thanks for being real my brother. We must respect the creatures.
Greeting from a cold Tasmanian winter, great videos mate, spot on editing and narration. Have you chased the southern/eastern rock lobsters much? Mainstay down here, finding them is only beginning of the battle!
Hey Andrew I’ve caught a few green crays in Nelson Bay Area that’s about it. Would love to get down to Tasmania to find some big dogs.
Subscribed! I like this guy
Hey man, love your videos. I'm a relatively new diver, but I'm in love with it. Think about it all the time, and always have the ocean on my mind. I live in the States not near the ocean, and thinking about relocating soon. My question is, how often do you go spearfishing, or just snorkel/dive in general? Is it your job, or do you just do it every once in awhile?
Not often enough living in the U.K. but I tend to do more bigger trips away in Europe when I do go diving. I would go nearly every week when living in Australia. Not my job at all!
The first clip was insane sharks and whales bruhh
Nice!!!
Niiiiice vid bro!!!
Cheers!
In so many of the videos the really dangerous looking encounters seem to be where the shark comes from right underneath when the diver is going up.
Great video and much respect for you my friend, after alla i'm glad that sharks are not so common to encounter while spearfishing in Italy :D
No sharks in Italy... they would starve 😂😂😂
ahahaha! Maybe...but i'm not so sure, you know the biggest great white shark ever seen was caught in the Mediterranean Sea near Malta, not so starved after all :D :D :D
My first salt water trip was last week. Dropped on a jack in 15 meters of water. A 3 meter bull shark was after the same fish and swam right under my gun. No worries he called he can have it. I never even saw it, my cover diver though I was going to hold his fin for a ride.
I was in the Bahamas pole spearing last week with my son. We saw sharks all day, every day, mostly Reef Sharks, but bulls too. One afternoon we had two reefs hanging around, one about 4 feet and one about 6. I went down, missed a fish, and on the way back up the small one charged me and banged his nose right into my mask. I literally pushed him away with my hands. It wasn't a big shark but it still shook me up pretty badly. That's been our closest encounter yet, and too close for me.
I think we shot too many fish in that area. After that we started only shooting one or two fish per head then moving on.
nice brother you did tell the story right
Started to watch your videos just some weeks ago - great job ! one question what is a good way to train freediving or holding breath that long ? many thanks for any advice links etc.
Hey Simon, I’m not a great free diver and never focused on trying to hold my breath longer for spearfishing. I just try and be somewhat fit and active in lifestyle.
Nice video Daniel.
Thank you sir!
Big balls mate big balls
Thank you man for the reply I did try that I used 3 salve acid green the real stuff to re place the tow black 7/8 rubber I even cut tem 3inc shorter but the spear shoots so sluggish to the point soon is it's off the gun it's goin down words even bounced off a fish never seen that before so I'm way off on that I went back to the black bands and had that crazy trouble with the crimp I'll try the stock bands a little longer glad I took my 80 with me for that trip lest not ready quit just got over a horrible back surgery we're I lost my spinal cord stimulation in plant to a hospital infection almost took me soon took 8 month as possible I was back in the water to see if I could still swim and with the bottom one is helping so just got to figure out some corks to keep it going thank u for the in fo I'm new to the problems , been in love free diveing sense 5 and been spear fishing on and off thew the health ever since and also land locked in Tucson Arizona USA so not a huge group here to ask thank you so much for all your help p.s your video helped my stay at the hospital and recovery time seeing you and you buddy's good group to watch
hi daniel great video bro i love them , may i ask what camera and complete setting do you use ?
Hey Temoc, for the talking heads stuff I am using a Panasonic GH4 shooting v-log and grading in Premiere. Most of the water water stuff is a GoPro in protune mode, also graded a bit in Premiere.
We tend to get the curious tiger mostly, either they are big females that glide in and glide out, or they are young and dumb and hang around trying to snake your fish constantly. Annoying buggers. Bulls/Whalers are just ever present, depending on where we are diving on the west coast. North mostly bulls, mid and south are mostly whalers.
I’ve also seen tigers get up and boogie, I don’t trust them at all.
Wow so intense
Fuckin hell, that first experience must have been amazing!!
The whale from no where amazing!
Boy am I happy I do my fishing in the Adriatic...
Hey Daniel I've got a question! it doesn't really pertain to this vid but i thought i'd ask on the most recent one. So i going spearing for the first time next weekend. should i use a reel on my gun or not? kinda confused about it. I've got a 90 cm Mako predator 3rd gen. i dont quite have a targeted species as is this is my first time and my brother and I are going alone. (it's both our first times) Safety wise we are trying to take all the precautions. we've been diving springs at 40 ft(really want to go deeper but all the springs that are deeper are browned out from a nearby river) and can do that quite comfortably with a bottom time of 40-60 seconds maybe longer. anyways i'm just trying to give a bunch of info so you can answer me the best way possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Could you make a video on how you got into spearfishing and how to improve the time that you can hold your breath for
Breath hold is something that comes naturally the more you go spearing and shouldn’t be rushed.
What about the one that bumped you.?
I was looking forward to seeing the clip again.😊
Great video.😊
That was my good friend Tim McDonald!
Daniel Mann ok, but still a awesome clip.😊
But great video man
I had a similar encounter where a aggressive bull shark would chase me without even shooting a fish, so unfortunately I had to move spots but lucky I was in coral bay where you can go anywhere and shoot the fish you want
Strange sharks sometimes. On some occasions they can be super chilled and not care other times very aggressive.
Love this channel.. but how long do you guys hold you're breath for? As you seem to lie on bottom 4 so long
Hi Dan , thanks for the recommendation on the last video picked up all the gear when i was in Torquey may need another weight for the belt and a new gun but i am at least 90% there , found it hard to breath through the new snorkel so much so that the following days i could not go again as my chest hurt from the exertion, will get a better mask and snorkel before i try it again . mentioned your name !! cheers sir.
Wow sounds like you were breathing really hard. I have had a sore chest sometimes after diving really hard in a competition but nothing that wasn’t just over exhortation. I think I did 120 dives in a 6hr comp. It does take some getting used to with a snorkel and I use a Riffe stable snorkel as I very rare get water in it. Expensive and a tad bulky but it works for me!
was just snorkelling really but had my face in the water for the best part of 2 hours breathing through the thing , and i have a 50 inch chest ....may have something to do with it lol
What do people do when they are shore diving? There's no boat to climb on to
Shark are wonderful creatures it still saddens me that there was the whole shark culling thing that happened a while ago
I think that spearfishing is the best time to have a shark encounter. Not only do you have a spear gun to poke it away but If it bites onto you you better whip that dive knife out and go ham on its eyeball.
Wait were those finwhales? Absolutely beautiful
Yup, possibly minke whales.
Excellent footage, man! What kind of sharks where on film here, other than the bull shark? You ever run into any great white, or just monster sized ones? How bout whales? What kind of whale was that on film? Just curious, sorry for a ton of questions.
I’d have been scared shitless, man. Bull shark is one of the last creatures I want to run into. Only type that would scare me more is a big tiger or great white... ✌🏼
Hey Nikola, the other sharks were bronze whalers mostly. Never ran into a white but seen a few tigers before.
I think the whales were Minke but not 100%. Some sort of finned whale anyway.
Daniel Mann Ah, okay. Very cool, but terrifying. Thanks for the reply, man, and keep up the great work. ✌🏼🙏🏼
What kind of speargun do you recommend for a beginner, snorkeling and diving in Scandinavia (Denmark)? :)
Hey Pi, when I dived Denmark I only used a small 80cm gun and shot quite a few fish. The flatties are very easy to spear and in some cases pickup by hand. I made a video about when I was in Copenhagen spearing. th-cam.com/video/of0hfAadGjE/w-d-xo.html
Tiny fishes got PTSD after watching the big one get chomped off by the SHARKS!!!
Hey Daniel, great video, I like the educational through experiences aspect of it. I want to spearfish so hard, I'm going to buy my first speargun. I'll be spearfishing in the Mediterranean Sea, between 0 & 5 meters. The water is really clear, and I don't know if I should go with a 75 or a 90. I'm scared I'd struggle loading the 90 etc... Could you give me some advise ? Thanks :)
Greetings from France.
Hey Enzo, congrats on the World Cup firstly ⚽️. You will most likely be fishing in holes at that depth to find fish so perhaps a 75 would be okay. But I do recall in Menton I was snorkelling and saw a few nice species in 3m of water so the 90 would be my choice.
You should have no trouble loading a 90. It’s all in the technique.
Daniel Mann Thanks alot Daniel 😉
damn you were at the bottom for a long time at that depth i can barely hold my breath for 3 minutes .
Respect for the London pride t shirt mate 👍
‘Tis a fine brew 🍺
this video was fucking great, good shit bro
Thanks man!
Me personally, I wouldnt let the foolishness attack me
Sharks are why I’m always scanning but it still scares the shit out of me. My biggest fear are not the ones I can see but the ones I don’t see. Example: snorkeling in the Bahamas on this ship wreck. I’m the first person in this group to dive down close to it, I look around a bit and then turn face up and wave at people. When I get to the surface everyone was like you weren’t even afraid of that shark!?!?! I’m like....what shark? That giant one right behind you. Thought they were joking but ya apparently had some “big” shark or something right behind me
It’s always the sharks I don’t see that bother me!
Could you help me out I got an auto immune disorder I just got back from the sea of Cortez Mexico and this time I couldn't get my 110 bands all the way back I kept hanging up on the mono crimp and I'm not strong enough to now to work it over that so frustrating any idea on how to change the mono set up or may be I'm pulling rong if you have any ideas thanks for all the great work and the video are amazing
You could try longer bands if you’re struggling to load the gun. Also when loading make sure you have your knuckles facing the sky and palms down. It uses more of the back muscles which are a larger group of muscles than the arms when going palms up.
Everyone anxious about the sharks and I'm just anxious about the idea of being 10+ metres down without a tank lol
The Peter Mckinnon of Spearfishing #legend #masterclass
Too kind!
spearfishing is dangerous avocation but as you said you should respect animals.
good video buddy keep going on those videos we got useful.
How long can you hold your breath? That seems like a deep dive?
Sharks are really curious in nature
So as long as you do not start spazzing out like you mostly did in these clips they don't attack you xD
They just come by have a lil pet and then just leave.
Would you get in waters with great whites?
Epic sharks man, but so far I’m not that worried because I’m not going that deep only around 4-6 m
Thanks Derry, there are no fences in the ocean, they can be in any depth of water.
Yhea I only come across wobbegong, shovel nose sharks and yhea thanks for the videos
וואו , איך הכריש אכל את הדג !!!!
