They were spawning or getting ready to, that’s why they act like this, i’ve seen it before and in much larger numbers, Nassau grouper though but is pretty much the same fish.
Back in the early 2000's maybe 2002 we were diving lobster of the marquesas, I grabbed 2 red grouper that day, think noodling just with red grouper and I thought those 2 were the dumbest ever until 10 minutes ago when I watched this masterpiece.
Hey Dan 👋 just started scuba diving and wondering why are you making those noises? I thought it was to clear your ears but you did it alot when you were already at bottom. Thanks and keep uploading these awesome videos!
Curious if all those reds get together and create those big beds/ low spots in the sand. Very similar looking to what the freshwater bass tilapia and pan fish make before spawning. Could grouper be doing the same thing
That was my favorite pair of gloves of all time until they ended up shredded. I sewed them back together until there was nothing left. Any chance you can tell me where I can find some? I’ve searched for years and can’t.
@@daveobsoleteammo4547 I'm aware of that, long time fan, and diver. But it was obvious he was ascending at the same rate, and even faster than his air bubbles
I've always thought Red Grouper would be a good candidate for aquaculture as it's not uncommon for them to have no fear of humans like this even in areas where they are hunted. I definitely think they were getting ready to spawn based on how they were acting and having witnessed a number of grouper spawning aggregations over the years.
I have a question maybe you Dan or someone can answer. Why do the groupers loose their color when you spear them so fast? Been wondering that for a lot of your videos. Thanks again
Some fish and other animals have what are called chromataphors in their cells which give off coloration . So think of it when you turn your TV off what happens....when there is no power controlling the TV no color. Same as in these cells. They fade out or shut off.
It is a hard rubber block from Harbor Freight used for the back end of big trucks that he cut a chunk off of and drilled holes in the proper places . Be sure it is wet when drilling and measuring to get a snug fit wet for the outside of the Powerhead blanks .
@@drostly3220 He fills his own tanks , and not on the water . He uses different breathing mixtures depending on the depth of the dive , and the setups are ready to be used when he leaves the dock . He carries enough on-board for a 3-5 day trip and has 2-4 other divers working with him .
When a diver is directly under my boat it just fills the screen with what looks like a giant school of baitfish from top to bottom. It just reads the bubbles.
Red's lmao, those are the dumbest Reds I have ever seen. Every now and then you find a spot where the grouper are just so damn curious they cant help but come say hello.
Vous plongez en bouteille pour chassez, honte à vous même un enfant arriverait à le faire. You dive with bottles, shame on you even even a child managed to do it. Stop your nonsense.
He is not Hunting . . . . He is gathering which is his job . He is diving under a Commercial license to collect fish for a Fish Market that sells to high-end restaurants so there will be fresh FISH on the menu when you show up for dinner . He cannot keep any of what he gathers as they all MUST be sold to the Fish Market .
Rich has an interesting breathing technique...reminds of when I hadn't enough fiber in my diet.
Or he was on a heavy creatine diet and forgot to drink lots of fluids.
I should have watched this before I read the comments. I am dying laughing now trying to make it through the video.
🤣🤣🤣
This got me
٦صععغ٩ص (-^〇^-) ك
It's like they were "stoned" before they got stoned!!!!!!!!!! WTG safe diving to y'all

Dan, you gotta be kidding me. I mean........ you have GOT to be kidding me.

They were stacked up like wood. And you giggle like you robbed the devil and got away with it

Now that was a bunch of grouper sammiches served up on a platter. Haha nice haul for sure.
Now watching a old video while this one came up yewwww!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When some great white shark is needed, it never comes. . .

Shoot me, shoot me. I'm next! No, I'm next. No, me!!!! Too cool
Wow those fish really like you Dan.i think you're turning into a fish wispier 😂

If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I doubt I'd believe it. Truly epic 👍 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏
I think they wanted to be harvested 😆
Crazy vid man
Wow, They could hardly wait for their turn! That's quick as u can reload shootin'. Fun Fun Fun!
That was amazing!!! Look like he was coming up a little fast though

this is absolutely ridiculous but in a good way lol 😂🤣
Loved the hand signal for " there's a Shark over there "
@Dan MacMahon what brand and model dive computer and speargun do you have there ?
NUTS! Don't get many dives like that.
That was insane 😳
Never got the bends cause of those deep repetitive dives ??? What kind of emergency procedures do you have for a DC accdent??
yes, this time we can see your pressure gate clear and offen make us fell we are diving together.
Epic!
like a field of dreams, so many easy shots.
wow, doe scent or aftershave?

Now that was awesome lol but was that a shark you was pointing at on your way up
Wow Dan....are these fishes part of the #MeNext movement...they were clamouring to be speared...I could see fast and furious in action...Good job🖒
RG’s “Hey, where’d everyone go?”
Slayed it, whats with the noises before exhaling ?
Dan how do you make your power heads ?
Wow Dan this one sell off its like taking candy frm a baby 😎
when you left you spear on the bottom.... smh lol i wish they lined up for me like that!!!!
nice one
What are you using to hold the power heads on the gun ?
It is a hard rubber block from Harbor Freight used for the back end of big trucks that he cut a chunk off of and drilled holes in the proper places . Be sure it is wet when drilling and measuring to get a snug fit wet for the outside of the Powerhead blanks .
@@daveobsoleteammo4547 thank you Great content 🎙️💯🎙️
Dan are you sure those weren’t reds cosplaying as gags? They sure were acting like toadies!
what sound is being made the entire time sounds like he is straining
What dreams are made out of
Musta been really cold or u really had to poop cuz that was some struggle
Carnage!
😀👍
during this dive, the breathing can not deeply, look there is pressure layer pushing out inside, this always happen in the deep dive, don't know why.
😅 the gags are narced
Do you think it was a mating spot for all of them and that’s why they were not scared off.
Definitely. Usually there's one or two big males and a bunch of the smaller females
I think it was poker night. They were all a bit early.
They all gathered around you just waiting to get shot best way to get them
Unfair fight...
IS there some breathing problems going on or is that just an audio thing?
You guys must run your own compressors onboard.. What about the mixed gas stuff?

WoW
Would be funny to see what a diver looks like on your depth finder. You can see fish🤔, I guess you look like a big slow moving mass?

It sound it having difficulty to breathe.
Hai big fan from Kerala, India can I get some gun rubber old
Plenty of air in that tank and you're shooting up like a rocket you're a liability
well that was easy lmao
Hmmmmmmgggha
Ha 👍🙏🇮🇩
Red's lmao, those are the dumbest Reds I have ever seen. Every now and then you find a spot where the grouper are just so damn curious they cant help but come say hello.
School is in
All red grouper are pretty dumb.

Alpha how many 200’ dives have you made spearfishing on scuba?
Absurd, this is certainly not spearfishing. Unwatchable
