Awesome video thanks. I’m moving to Nefn next month and can’t wait to get in. It looks incredible from satellite loads to explore. Also been worried about seals underwater but good to see they’re friendly 😂
@@jackmetcalfe8542 there was an old slate mining pier that was destroyed at Cei Trefor. The break water wall is still there and I believe the foundations of the pier are still next to it. I have seen people with tanks diving there in the past. I believe it gets very deep there close to the wall. It would be great to see a video from you diving there!!
Thanks. Haven't been down to the Llyn recently but it's been pretty bad in Bangor, can't imagine there's enough vis for anything other than Lobsters in the shallows now
Last season was diving in a 7mm top and 5mm bottoms however that was too cold (I don’t have much blubber), ordered an 8mm PoloSub for this season. Most of my mates dive in a 5mm suit, it really depends on how hot you generally run
@@nuffseed596 ah I misread your comment. I do find the grunts v effective for drawing fish in, although have heard others scratch rocks which may attract fewer seals?
All breath hold. The slightest hint of a bubble scares any worthwhile fish away, hence why you see so few fish on scuba diving videos despite them being underwater for 20 minutes
@@benjones3819 Depending on the species I’ll dive anything between 2 - 18 meters and breath holds of 1-2 Minutes. Sometimes it’s more efficient to do a large number of short dives (for flatfish) and other times try and do longer breath holds (for Bass)

Some class marks along that section of coast, nefyn is the only one I’ve encountered a lot of seals though
Love these videos and I don't even spearfish! Fascinating to see what goes on underwater. Jack vs Fish.
Glad you enjoyed it mate, can imagine you getting quite trigger happy when that seal turned up haha
@@jackmetcalfe8542 Haha! Imagine what a seal would do at 200kg if a much lighter Baracuda nearly drowned you.
@@nicknixon2859 That was a Conger Eel, wish there were Barracuda in Wales though! There's apparently a fair few Bluefin Tuna off Cornwall nowadays
Have you dived around the harbour / old pier that was removed area? If so.. what is that and the Rocky headline next to it like?
I've not dived by an old Pier, concentrated mostly on the areas to the S of the golf course, loads of Bass around there

Great video. Guessing this vis has gone now.. 😔 Was hoping to get over that way this week

@@jackmetcalfe8542 I'm OK with lobsters.. 😂
@@davers1610 don't know how much you've dived around Anglesey but there's some good Lobster hunting in 2-3m, should be fine even now
@@jackmetcalfe8542 I go a lot. Have a few good marks. Might try and head over in the next few days but know north llyn has been battered.
ha you should have seen what me and Si had to climb down😂 sick video, was a good dive
You two walked another few miles from where I got in haha, I didn't see you all session until I got out! Thought you'd been swept away by the currents
Steepest entry point of 2021 🧗♂️ was worth it though, was a nice dive.
it would be nice to see the captures being presented to the camera after the shoot, just an observation.
Yes good idea, need to get some more footage of the fish themselves for the next video
Love it, Jack. I'm from north Wales but live in Cardiff now. But I'm taking spearing up this summer. What thickness is your suit? 🙂

Fascinating film. So much goes on, out of sight, under the sea.
Almost tempted to take up spearfishing myself.
Should give it a try! There's plenty of fish about and it's a lot more exciting than shore fishing
I find that you dont see seals when you dont do the grunts, nice vid bud
It might vary depending on the area, they don’t mind the grunts in wales!
@@jackmetcalfe8542 I meant it attracts the seals in my experience and makes hunting more tricky, at least here at Lands End
@@nuffseed596 ah I misread your comment. I do find the grunts v effective for drawing fish in, although have heard others scratch rocks which may attract fewer seals?
Not trying to ask a stupid question, but are you just holding your breath under the water or do you have some sort of breathing aid?!
All breath hold. The slightest hint of a bubble scares any worthwhile fish away, hence why you see so few fish on scuba diving videos despite them being underwater for 20 minutes
@@jackmetcalfe8542 No way?! And about 7 meters down as well?? How long do you reckon youre holding your breath for?

Minutes. Sometimes it’s more efficient to do a large number of short dives (for flatfish) and other times try and do longer breath holds (for Bass)
The f is pronounced as a v
To be fir my Welsh pronounciation could improve a lot!
@@jackmetcalfe8542 nice place went down a couple of wee ago so hot in the micro climate
