  • During the summer months diving off Brisbane, there are a lot of sharks to deal with. Perhaps in this situation it would of been smarter to find another spot despite all the good fish that were in this particular spot.

    A good dive and a great catch.,,,but when sharks are around,,we all divers and spearfishers must remember that safety is paramount💯❤️

      Yeah you are right, the shark wasn't being very aggressive towards us. It was only really after the fish I believe. Still it would of been safer to find another spot. Hope you enjoyed the video 🙂

    How I spent years spearing every day off the rocks south Sydney without seeing a single shark I’ll never know 😂😂 thousands of hours hauling bleeding fish on a float and not a single tax man

      I envy you! My last shore dive resulted in a hasty retreat back to land while protecting our catch from multiple whaler sharks😅

    World is a small place. I'm watching your video 0:39 and I'm like FME that bloke looks like my old mate Danny D with a Dad bod. Then I hear him talking rescuing your fish and lose it. Give him a kick in the pants and tell him to give me a call as I don't think the number I have for him is current. Great video, Danny is your problem, he attracts sharks all the time 🤣. Dive Safe, have fun! 🤿🐟

      @@DownDeep @8ballhemeloid While harpoon hunt, a shark attacked me from behind, biting my back and then my arm. I felt no pain at all. It was so fast that i couldn't see anything until blood started flowing. When i noticed the bleeding, I felt like i would die in that moment, and instinctively, i stabbed the shark two times and it disappeared from view.a nearby fishing boat saved me. I'm fine now but i have scars that i will carry for the rest of my life.since that day, i can't bring myself to go into the sea

    Just curious - do any of you blokes use a Shark Shield when you're spearing? Wondering if they'd help to minimise tax or are they a good idea but bullshit to use in practice?

    • @DownDeep
      @DownDeep  11 місяців тому +1

      I personally have never used one. In the 14 years I have been diving I have only ever dived with one person who has used one and it looked like a pain in the ass. literally, if you weren't carful around him you would get a boot.
      In saying that it may be worth the hassle, there are so many more sharks around these days. For personal safety more so then catch protection.

      ​@@DownDeep - Yeah, know what you mean about more common these days. I'm a scuba diver, & get comments about carrying a dive knife, "gunna stab the sharks? Nah, gunna stab YOU when I see one . . . ". Got tangled in 80lb braid once, my buddy freed me quickly, so carry a dive knife ever since. Wondered why spearos don't all use sharkshields when you're ringing the dinner bell - figured they don't work or maybe they aren't "cool".

    • @DownDeep

      I carry 2 knives after a tangle. I lost a dodgy knife after the rope i was tangled in dislodged from the holder. I managed to unwrap myself quickly luckily but it was a wake up call.
      I might look into getting a shark shield. Something to think about

    Is your boat a 17r or 16r?
