That my son has something happen to him when I'm out there spearfishing. He spends a long time on the bottom and a freak out thinking he might not come up.
I had 2 boats ran over my float while I was literally 10m from shore. Legally boats have to stay at least 50m away from shore( at least in my country). In 1 occasion the boat driver had the audacity to stop and shout at me saying he was gonna run me over internally. That's when I pointed the 100 straight to his foot and he cooled off. Moral of the story, BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. It's frustrating to lose a fish but it's even more frustrating to get run over.
Sounds like that guy was asking for trouble, what a loser. In this case we were maybe 100m from shore and I would have thought a large ferry boat would keep its distance. Definitely have to be aware of your surroundings!
@@DanielMannI am a free diver and a scuba diver . Although I am young I am an island boy (Cyprus) and have been in the sea almost daily since 7years old. Next time you are on a tourist ship. Pay attention to the captain. You will soon realise that it's a Miracle that accidents don't happen daily. It's either going to be a guy from a 3rd world country that doesn't even know how to swim. Or he/she is only paying attention for other crafts not people. Usually the small ships are the worst because they cruise closer to shore .
Τhat engine-prop noise was crazy but you get used to it when fishing near ports. Those scorpion fish are one of the best tasting fish you can find and paired with a Mamos beer are just perfect ! I was so sorry i couldn't come and join you when you where at Thessaloniki mate...hopefully we will manage a dive at some point!!! great footage, great video, well done man!!!
Similar issues with boat in Italy too. The law in Italy states that boats must keep more than 100 meters from a buoy with a "diver down" flag, but there is no penalty if they fail to do so, so it's really dangerous. And many people who drive boats do not know what a "diver down' flag is. And many boaters who do know just don't care.
I had a really close call in 2022 diving in Salento. Sail boat was metres from running me over. I got it on video also. If you search on TH-cam ‘why spearfishing in Italy is dangerous’ you will see it!
Hello Daniel, thank you for your videos. I am Albanian and also a rookie at spearfishing, i love your videos cause you explain what is happening at the same time and i can learn from you! As for the grrek case there are some greek minorities in our south as we always respected them and did not masacre them during the WW2 while greek army massacred albanian in north west greece, the so called "cam massacre"!! Do not listen to those brainwashed greeks who fall for their nationalistic corrupted greek government's propaganda which says where ever there is ancient greek ruins are greek lands! The same logic they do not apply in southern Italy for example! Only in southern Albania where the government is much weaker!
jealous little hobbit full of envy and bitter of your bigger neighbor south.....take your nationalist views to fake history post's where you steal history from neighbors don't want you poisoning spearfishing videos
@@DanielMann Oh yes, that 12MP sensor is aweaome! And cred to Hannah 🙌 Following a spearo with that bulky rig is not an easy job!! Hoping for more “B-roll” from her 🙏😊
Great video again Daniel. Not only in the Mediterranean there are inattentive boaters....still experiencing this also in Norway, young people often show up who have not learned the meaning of the flag on the buoy and do not keep the correct distance of 50m from the diving flag. Safe diving to you all🤙🏻🤙🏻
amazing video as always!that boat in the begining was to close for comfort.somthing similar hapened to me with a smaller boat and i couldn't dive for the rest of the time because my heart was beating so hard i had no breath left😬
Excelente video Daniel. And as comming to the Dominican Republic is really exiting to know so I can meet you and if is posible dive next to you and take you to places also I don’t know if you remember I offered you one of the spearguns I hand made build.
Thanks for these. I am just starting to explore the world of my personal style. I hope to create a wardrobe mostly comprised of brands made locally in my country
Would love to see you one day on the other side of the Mediterranean sea, like Morocco or Tunesia. I have childhood memories from the Hotel beach near Tunis where local dudes came out of the water with each like 10 octopuses on their belt, speared with a hand spear. Love the series a lot tho, high quality content as always.
Here, apart from sunrise and sunset, it is important to take into account the tides and lunar phases, they increase the activity significantly. Great video again, congratulations.
That engine noise when underwater is the worst! I’ve got mates that continue to dove amazing with that noise and it blows my mind, I gotta head straight back up cause all I can think is I’m gonna get run over 😂
I had a rowing crew with a outrigger come straight on top of me at shark Island cronulla last week. My float cleary visible I literally surfaced between the boat and outrigger. Missed me by cms
Enjoying following this journey, thanks Dan! Quick question on the Octopus, how long do you boil it? I've tried a few times and on my last one I boiled it for a looong time to try and get it tender and still ended up being tough. The fork did go through it in the pot, but when it started cooling down it went "chewy" again. Any advice or tips will be appreciated
Hi there, south Albania all summer until the end of September it's very dangerous and full of boats, most of them dont know what a boy is. Have you ever tried the Adriatic sea ? There it's possible to find anything even in the very shallow but it's hard to find clear water. Try to put the Adriatic sea in one of your beautiful journeys.
@@DanielMann I have seen them, I mean the Adriatic sea in Albania. In October here in my city you that dive very good and deep I'm sure that a huge one was going in your shaft, grouper or amberjack I don't know.
Hi @qefull! The Adriatic sea is very beautiful! I agree. I was only snorkeling there so far. I will visit albania for 8 months soon. Do you have any tipps? :)
@@asioalmo8618 hi there mate, the Adriatic sea here have 2 main places to dive, the area around Durrës city and Cape of Rodon, the other areas are mostly sand without any rocks so no life, after if you can go south it's the Ionian sea, mutch more places to dive and more clear water almost all year around. But the Adriatic sea have more fish because it's hard to find clear water
That engine noise take ya back to the good ole tweed river days haha tinnie rats zooming around looking for divers heads 😂 been in the tweed a bit lately it’s thriving with life 👌love your channel When I get the time 🤌🤌
Also in the Bahamas… when I went with my usual inflatable “THERE IS A DIVER HERE” float… I was told that the people here don’t know what that’s for… one of those “Scuba Adventure” big ass boats went right over top of me right off one of the touristy dive spots (near where the old 007 Thunderball plane is sunk). I got right the fuck out of the water 😂😂
so, boiling the octopus will tenderize them! Good to know, thanks! Here in the Pacific coast of USA, it's been way too rough to even think of going out!
Adorei a transparência da água, O espírito de pescar é saborear a própria caça , mas vi que o local não é muito propício a peixes boms e grandes! Achei muito esforço pra capitular esses 2 minúsculo peixinhos e o 🐙... mas o que vali é a intenção é curtição da pesca submarina. Parabéns!! 😊😊😊
It’s very hard to judge how close a boat is from the sound. The closer you are to the bottom, the louder the sound of boat engine gets, which gives you the impression that a boat is getting closer. It’s extremely distracting.
I am 18 years old(just started spearfishing, doing it just for fun), and I have a question. How do you deal with sea pressure? I find it "killing" my ears/head when I'm on Like 8m+ and I see People diving on Like 25m+ and I don't know how you guys manage to do that? If you or anyone can answear my question I would be gratefull. ( also I'M SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH! Its not my mother tongue)
I don’t see the point in a red light. I can assure the light is daylight white light. Just when you change white balance on a camera at depth it doesn’t look the same.
Damn, that engine sound triggered real fear in me watching this video. I hate when i hear it. And it's always much further than it feels like.. But anyway, i get in panic mode every time!
Salut Daniel, j'ai eu un soucis avec mon compte TH-cam Je me réinscris à plusieurs chaines dont la votre forcement ! ;) En revanche je ne trouve plus la chaine de Dimo, "Spearfishing Life" Avez-vous des renseignements ou un lien pour que je puisse me réinscrire ? Merci ! :)
I didn't see as many boats in Croatia when I was there but I've heard many Adriatic divers go without a float to avoid investigation from reckless boat drivers.
It’s interesting I definitely experienced it in northern Croatia, less in the south as there is less dense boat traffic. Scary prospect but doesn’t surprise me the idea of going without a float as it felt boats were using my float for tracking aim…
It's why I stick to shallow water fishing. The "captains" don't know what a diver's float is and that they're supposed to stay away. They'll go check out what the funny flag is.
bruh, what you called a parrot fish and proclaimed it tastie is actually 1 of the worst mediteranian fish to eat!its full of small bones -you lose every bit of appetite and will for eating until you clean it! hope you have a better luck next time
Lets face it, watercraft of any order are a prime hazard, ask Kirsty MacColl. If you think an A flag will save you, you're wrong, most skippers have no clue and most jetskiiers dont realise they’re riding the equivalent of a 700 cc motorbike with no brakes. If i ever hear engines i get low fast. You are your own safety officer, a buddy can help...
20 yards of the coast , cliff with my dive float and flag... I surfaced once and was literally a ft away from a massive lava tour hitting me, the wake knocked my mask right off my face... Guys didnt even care kept going with their boat of tourists.... Few days later i hear the exact same noise and decide to stay down long as possible... Watched the boat go right over me..... Lava tour tw@s
@@DanielMann oh they knew , and I was not the only one it happened too. But that family is crooked and has lots of connections.... Main guy was actually running for mayor lmao
Indeed. From Australia to Galicia, Tanzania to Indonesia, Lebanon to Italy and so on. The question each spearo should be asking is what am I doing to stop it? Each one in his own corner of the world, obviously.
Wow, heroic. You're good divers, but spearing an octopus is disgusting. You're not on subsistence level. The fish you got were small; there wasn't m much on that reef, and now there's even less. It seems you're visitors to that country, too. Ugh.
@@DanielMann except that for to be any reproduction rate at all, they really need to exist in the first place! no octopus = zero reproduction rate! You are not entitled to kill everything you see in sight!
I’m harvesting for personal consumption in the most sustainable way possible. No by catch, nothing left in the water, no nets, no bait, no pollution. Or is your problem because you think octopus are intelligent and it’s an emotional decision for you, not a factual decision?
LOL, Come one, you're supposed to be an experience diver no? How come no surface indicators you are diving there? Or were you deliberately diving on one of the routes of one of the local ferries, hoping the fishing would be better there because, heck, no one safety conscience would be spearfishing there to suck it dry LOL. Plus why would anyone think Albania is so dangerous, ur in a holiday resort area. And yeah LOL I am a diver and had my share of jet skis and boats up to tankers around me, but you've got to use common sense otherwise it' could be a different kind of video LOL. Interesting waters though! Clearly u have to get out there to find the bigger fish and more fish life.
As you can see in the video I had my float and flag on the surface. The ferries aren't supposed to come so close to shore and it was outside of the tourist season. I've dived there before without any problems. Why would anyone think Albania is dangerous? It has a horrible reputation from such films as Taken and in the UK they are represented as being overly involved in organised crime and the drug trade through the media.
I'm sorry, how can the ferries come into shore without coming close to it? I guess you mean this was a unscheduled or off route ferry trip? I know you said you had been diving there before so i guess you knew or checked the ferry routes beforehand since this is extra important to one on snorkel as apposed to on scuba. As to the danger you indicate I doubt you faced any of that stuff being a diver there in this particular area. Forgetting the movie, there are some places i wouldn't take you to in London LOL. Strangely, your UK gov website lists Albania as ok safety wise but of course that can vary like anywhere. If you weren't looking to get involved with drugs and or stolen car crime then you'd be ok and clearly you were. Re the flag: Don't get me wrong but we all know as divers that even with the flag up it can mean jack to people in boat, bigger boats even worse only because they are looking for other large objects or even staring at their radar of which will definitely not pick out diver's flags on floats-no chance. What kind of boat did you have or did you do a big swim from shore? @@DanielMann
To be honest, these places in Albania used to be greek and many people who live there are greeks. But unfortunately greek governments through the years are absolutely corrupted and they have given these areas to Albania. Keep up the good work Daniel!
I didn’t meet any Greeks when I was there. When did this exchange of land happen? I couldn’t find much information on it online. Borders have been changing since the dawn of time and if you go back far enough I guess these places were also Ottoman, Roman, Byzantine etc.
@@DanielMann ou can search it as "northern epirus" or with this link el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%99%CF%83%CF%84%CE%BF%CF%81%CE%AF%CE%B1_%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82_%CE%92%CF%8C%CF%81%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1%CF%82_%CE%97%CF%80%CE%B5%CE%AF%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%85_%CF%84%CE%B7%CE%BD_%CF%80%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%AF%CE%BF%CE%B4%CE%BF_1913-1921
The greeks are between Saranda and Gjirokastra, a total of 10.000 people. And I really like them because they are all hardworking and good people. That part has nothing to do with the lands though. There are also Arvanites in Greece since the 11th century, but nobody ever claimed the Peloponese is Albanian land :).
Hello diver friend, congratulations for your videos, we have the same passion, and nothing I bought a Salvimar 105 shotgun, I never used a rubber band rifle .it's a new world for me, I've always used air rifles, it's I can't find any video tutorial for this rifle, how monta.se you make me a video tutorial for me. I will be forever grateful. I invite you to my sea. Calabria costa viola-Italy.a sea full of groupers and amberjacks..... You are my guest with your wife.thank you !
What is your biggest fear or danger when spearfishing?
That my son has something happen to him when I'm out there spearfishing. He spends a long time on the bottom and a freak out thinking he might not come up.
Always an issue. Long surface intervals can help reduce the risk of blackout.
Jet skies, scary when people race close to shore..
Big Great Whites
Boats. I know more people hit by boats than bitten by sharks.
I had 2 boats ran over my float while I was literally 10m from shore. Legally boats have to stay at least 50m away from shore( at least in my country).

Heavy times! I would have got in contact after the second incident.
@@DanielMann oh they knew , and I was not the only one it happened too. But that family is crooked and has lots of connections.... Main guy was actually running for mayor lmao
05:31 another boat going over your head
Yup, you can see it when I surface. I also mention it in the voice over.
Sunfish
Because of mafiafish,i suppose
Γεια μας...
Umm, diver down flag???
On top of the float I took with me. You can see my bright orange float at 4:50.
If the boats don't kill you then the dynamite fishing will.
Same in Greece!
Indeed. From Australia to Galicia, Tanzania to Indonesia, Lebanon to Italy and so on. The question each spearo should be asking is what am I doing to stop it? Each one in his own corner of the world, obviously.
Next time use GEZUAR in change of GIAMAS that meens Cher's and say Albania not Greece
I said yamas because I was in Greece… Thessaloniki. Listen to the voice over.
το γεια μας its Greek!
Beautiful a “Greek” with Albanian surname 😢
Wow, heroic. You're good divers, but spearing an octopus is disgusting. You're not on subsistence level. The fish you got were small; there wasn't m much on that reef, and now there's even less. It seems you're visitors to that country, too. Ugh.
What is wrong with octopus? Fast growing, high reproduction rate.
@@DanielMann except that for to be any reproduction rate at all, they really need to exist in the first place! no octopus = zero reproduction rate! You are not entitled to kill everything you see in sight!
Clearly they do exist…
@@DanielMann obviously, so far, but not because of lack of effort on your part!
I’m harvesting for personal consumption in the most sustainable way possible. No by catch, nothing left in the water, no nets, no bait, no pollution. Or is your problem because you think octopus are intelligent and it’s an emotional decision for you, not a factual decision?
Because they use dynamite to fish, just like Montenegro 😂😂😂
Dynamite fishing still goes on in Greece as well. Dimos from Spearfishing Life has filmed a few of the activities and has them on his TH-cam channel.
@@DanielMann yeah it’s pretty sad and dangerous. They are destroying the environment. Stay safe out there
LOL, Come one, you're supposed to be an experience diver no? How come no surface indicators you are diving there? Or were you deliberately diving on one of the routes of one of the local ferries, hoping the fishing would be better there because, heck, no one safety conscience would be spearfishing there to suck it dry LOL. Plus why would anyone think Albania is so dangerous, ur in a holiday resort area. And yeah LOL I am a diver and had my share of jet skis and boats up to tankers around me, but you've got to use common sense otherwise it' could be a different kind of video LOL. Interesting waters though! Clearly u have to get out there to find the bigger fish and more fish life.
As you can see in the video I had my float and flag on the surface. The ferries aren't supposed to come so close to shore and it was outside of the tourist season. I've dived there before without any problems. Why would anyone think Albania is dangerous? It has a horrible reputation from such films as Taken and in the UK they are represented as being overly involved in organised crime and the drug trade through the media.
I'm sorry, how can the ferries come into shore without coming close to it? I guess you mean this was a unscheduled or off route ferry trip?
I know you said you had been diving there before so i guess you knew or checked the ferry routes beforehand since this is extra important to one on snorkel as apposed to on scuba.
As to the danger you indicate I doubt you faced any of that stuff being a diver there in this particular area. Forgetting the movie, there are some places i wouldn't take you to in London LOL. Strangely, your UK gov website lists Albania as ok safety wise but of course that can vary like anywhere. If you weren't looking to get involved with drugs and or stolen car crime then you'd be ok and clearly you were.
Re the flag:
Don't get me wrong but we all know as divers that even with the flag up it can mean jack to people in boat, bigger boats even worse only because they are looking for other large objects or even staring at their radar of which will definitely not pick out diver's flags on floats-no chance. What kind of boat did you have or did you do a big swim from shore? @@DanielMann
To be honest, these places in Albania used to be greek and many people who live there are greeks. But unfortunately greek governments through the years are absolutely corrupted and they have given these areas to Albania.
Keep up the good work Daniel!
I didn’t meet any Greeks when I was there. When did this exchange of land happen? I couldn’t find much information on it online. Borders have been changing since the dawn of time and if you go back far enough I guess these places were also Ottoman, Roman, Byzantine etc.
@@DanielMann ou can search it as "northern epirus" or with this link

They never were greek. I am from there. Northern Greece was full of Cham Albaniana until they were massacred and expropriated after ww2.
@@sduka1909if you really are from there then you know that these places are greek. Albania has zero history
The greeks are between Saranda and Gjirokastra, a total of 10.000 people. And I really like them because they are all hardworking and good people. That part has nothing to do with the lands though. There are also Arvanites in Greece since the 11th century, but nobody ever claimed the Peloponese is Albanian land :).
