i was a 12yr old kid who dreamed of oneday feeling what its like to go spearfishing im now a 16yr old kid who found your youtube channel and gave me so much motivation i got a job spent every one of my paychecks for the first 12 weeks on spearfishing gear and im living my dream life now all thanks to you daniel i love you mann thank you for pushing me and motivating me to do what i wanna do in life♡
Italy and Greece have a massive advantage though, since they fish in the Mediterranean a lot and it is a completely different style of spearfishing from the other places. Very technical spear fishing in the Mediterranean indeed. Great video!
One such 55m dive was a 5kg Maori cod from a wreck in NSW and another plus 50m was for a Queensland record pearl perch. Lots of big reds taken between 40 and 50m also. Big large mouth can be found in shallower water if you know where to look.
They've all been featured on my channel here before but none of them make their own videos so a bit hard to follow. SDM was a great publication, been nearly 4 years since it stopped.
Too bad you can't give your videos two thumbs up. I really enjoy your videos, the quality , resolution and of course the footage. Learning a lot from this.
badejo branco You must get to know the real God Jesus Christ. I have a small message about God for you.Do you believe in God,? In the last day Jesus would resurrect everyone who ever lived including the good and the bad, and the good would go to heaven while the bad would perish and be tormented in Hell for all eternity, there is no reincarnating into another species, that is a lie, you only have this life to get right with God. today I want to share with you the Gospel of God Jesus Christ who is the only God who came in the flesh and lived among us about 2000 years ago and he was crucified and died for our sins, all men have sinned against God and hence we live in a world full of trouble because the first people named Adam and Eve ate from the tree which God commanded them not to eat from, hence because of their disobedience, Adam and Even were cast out of Paradise. But God in his love and mercy made a way for us to get back into this paradise so that we can once again live with him for eternity in paradise where we never grow old or die and where there is no pain or suffering for all eternity. Today you can take the first step in this journey by believing in God Jesus Christ and accepting him as God(as he was not just a good teacher) and by repenting of your sins. In the last day Jesus would resurrect everyone who ever lived including the good and the bad and the good would go to heaven while the bad would perish and be tormented in Hell for all eternity, there is no reincarnating into another species, that is a lie, you only have this life to get right with God. Therefore we must repent of our sins today and realize that we are not Gods, neither are we divine, only God is divine. Jesus is God and he taught us how to live when he came to Earth , there are 2 destinations either Heaven or Eternal hell fire, those believe in Jesus Christ and who live according to Jesus Christ would go to Heaven but those wicked people who reject him and choose their own paths would be cast into the lake of fire where they shall be tormented for all eternity, this is just the reality, nonetheless it is not fear that cause me to live for God but rather it is my love for him in that he is a merciful and loving God. Focus on the things of God instead of the things of this world as the things of this world are only temporary but the things of God are eternal. If you would like to know more about this I encourage you to study the ESV and KJV Bible as there is vital knowledge that you must have in there as it explains Gods plan for Humanity and what we must do to please him. Do not delay, tomorrow is not promised.Jesus bless you

@@perryfroze what has to do with the video, you dumb! Jesus was a good spearfisher but would cheats multiplying the fishes he got. And he didn't need a boat, he would walk on water😂😂😂
top video mate, I really enjoyed it. Nice to see a kiwi even mad it in the final cut. Bit of a dumb idea having such a competition some were with crap diving.
Thanks Bob. Not so much crap diving just very challenging on the depth and different. Lots of fish in the deep and it’s a way of life for med divers. Much different to Australian and NZ diving.
Safety or training has improved from the days when a few were lost at each competition. I remember the 80's in the USVI St Croix against St Thomas, ego's on display and manhood to prove. Sad to see the desperation to win at any cost or tactic in world championships. At age 80 I shot the largest snapper in a Port Fouchon La. memorial tournament (Bill Crawford memorial) 2 years ago but refused to weigh it. I was there only to honor my deceased friend and visit with the cajuns. The competitive fire is long gone and harvesting a nice fish now is only done now for the joy of being in the water and obtaining a meal. I suppose the competitive fires of youth will drive this event into the future. My paradise lost was diving the reefs of Anegada BVI in the 80's, myself and my wife being the only souls on the reef, picking and choosing our meals. Sadly I suspect if I was in my 20's or 40's and had the means I might pursue competitions again - Real men love 2 things, danger and play - that's why he wants woman, the most dangerous plaything (FN) and so it goes.
Still diving at 82 - Stanley you legend! I agree that safety standards and awareness must have vastly improved. At the same time diving has become more technical for these deep spearos and the risk also increases. When did you first start diving?
Scuba 1960 shooting goliath (shallow) and warsaw (deep) grouper with SS cable and rope riding rigs - free diving 1975 till now. An addiction that has slowed down because no buddies left near my area and too old to run the boat, clean up in the heat etc, wife fell on the pier so no more boats for us. Charters here are $$$$$$ We went to Bahamas last June Green Turtle Cay after I dove with editor of Spearing mag (Will Powers) Will return this year and hope to improve using a sling. Still beautiful reef there and lots of fish and sharks. Have a new pacemaker that has improved my performance can now go up and back in the pool under water. As you know, spear fishing is an addiction. Sadly it has become so popular everyone wants to get into the business. Tried to retire in Panama, lasted 9 months. Spearing there sucks. Gulf of Mexico rigs hold more fish than most can imagine. The best place left is Port Fouchon La. But, often poor vis and ripping current.
BTW the Riffe's are a great family. I met Jay in 61 in Corpus Christi and the girls much later at Cayman. Now use Rob Allen 2 band Tuna gun - great gun.
It's been overfished for centuries. Regulations of course but still the fish are very smart. I went to Italy last month and currently making a video about the spearfishing there.
Regulations, right. During the month of May, spear fishing is not allowed but commercial fishing is allowed, including trawlers. Simply put the Greek waters are overfished all year round and the fish population doesn’t have the time to replenish. If you factor in the non indigenous fish that have invaded from the Suez Canal (like the Lagocephalus sceleratus) that have no predators in our waters, soon enough we will be talking about whole species going extinct.
Unfortunately Australia isn’t sending a team to Portugal nor team GBR. I’d love to go film the event but I can’t seem to get in contact with anyone there.
I don’t know anyone on the committee but I have emailed CMAS a few times with no response. If you know the head organiser I’d love to get in touch and look at going there to make a film.
Daniel Thank you Man for the share and the filming and commenting , I am not sure if you are coming to the world championship in 2 weeks so we can get some nice videos :D
Thanks man it wasn't me but you probably have met our Team. I can tell that you guys are super friendly too just from watching videos. I have started scouting in north of Tunisia but I don't think it will be deeper than Syros.
Its cool to see other people experience greek culture some people don't like it but im greek and ive been raised with it. Also my uncle is like part of the greek mafia soooo 👀🤫
And I forgot this was in Croatia so it was maybe different with the other countries but dad would get some nice fish at those depths and one thing is if you want to fish go deep.
It’s logical that Greek Italian and cyprian people scored well because fishing in the Agean sea is a ALOT more difficult and people that fish there all the time can adapt
I’m n Greece currently, I have caught 1 octopus and five small fish with my spear gun. The fish are just too smart. When you don’t have anything on you, they just swim up to you and are basically like “beeeeeeeetch!” . So I hand fish and I have caught five octopus with my hands, and I grabbed a bunch of fish tails, but no fish yet.
Yeah there have been studies that show that fish here recognize spearguns and bolt immediately. You have to adapt and use more sophisticated tactics than just swimming up to the fish like you do in the rest of the world. I reccomend watching some Greek or Italian youtubers to better get the feel of it
@@notairsoft119 there's actually a LOT of control but it ends up as cronyism with "big players" always taking the lion's share. That's what strict regulations always bring about.
@@DanielMann lol, cant hold my breath for sh#t but I do have a passport....maybe they should recruit guys like Adam Stern Jarrad Oxley etc (Youngbloods)
I was just the reserve diver but mainly wanted to go to film. If you are a decent diver in Australia and have the funds more than likely you can jump on the team. Comes down to cash but living in Europe makes it cheap for me to head there.
Its true . Fish in Greece suffered a lot for a lot of reasons like overfishing and the threat of the tropical (and venomus for humans) fish coming from the indian ocean ,which have no natural enemies in the Mediterranean sea
It would have been great if you people had answered on emails from someone who is Australian and lives here in Greece and was trying to find out information, cause of his spearfishing ability here in Greece... Anyway... Wish you would communicate more!
Unfortunately I had nothing to do with organising the Australian team so please don't be upset with me. The Australian team was picked from results at Australian National championships so unless you competed in those you wouldn't be eligible for the team. You would have been great for local knowledge and scouting/coaching with the team no doubt.
Sideris was probably right to protest and kudos to him that he did. I don't care about nationalities and "friendships". If you cheat you cheat and you should be stopped. To protest means you protect all other athletes too, not just yourself.
I was wondering the same thing.. If it was over fished or just not a "good" area. But i can see a point in having the world champion ship held in a place where its gonna be extremly hard to catch anyfish.
Everyone will not stood a chance if you will let a Filipino Badjao Spear Fishing join this competition. Badjao's literally walk on seabed without any weights.

Great job Daniel, I really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Cheers Dario!
Thank you for sharing. Great film
Your quality of your videos are amazing. My dad and I love watching your videos
Epic Daniel you are a pro. These guys are freaks beyond belief fishing from 50-65m is at a level not understood in Australia.
Some very talented divers in Europe that’s for sure. There are a handful of guys in Australia I know fishing up to 55m on a semi regular basis.
Daniel Mann wow wasn't aware of anyone pushing those depths in Aus. Chasing red emperor or large mouth I'm guessing.
One such 55m dive was a 5kg Maori cod from a wreck in NSW and another plus 50m was for a Queensland record pearl perch. Lots of big reds taken between 40 and 50m also. Big large mouth can be found in shallower water if you know where to look.
Daniel Mann great stuff man you got any names of those divers?? I don't follow the Aussie seen much since the sdm magazine stopped and went to the net
They've all been featured on my channel here before but none of them make their own videos so a bit hard to follow. SDM was a great publication, been nearly 4 years since it stopped.
I like every video.Amazing job considering the subject matter,always an adventure.

Very beautiful video Daniel,thank you for filming this in such a professional level!!
Greetings from Croatia!!
Thanks Indir, I hope to film the Euro Africa champs in Denmark this year too 👌
Enjoyed watching thanks mate!
Austin May cheers, feel free to share to others who may enjoy it also.
Another great video mate thanks for putting in all the work. Great to see how it is done around the world.
Yeah in Russia they spear with their fists
Sorry that got out of hand

I’m surprised at the sparse catch especially from the best divers. I’ve been watching too many Oz/NZ spearfishing vids 🤣
Too right mate. Cant wait to hit the waters in opotiki next week!
Soo keen to see your video for the Portugal championship this year
I have no team to film this year, Australia and UK both not attending.
Daniel Mann well that's depressing
Great coverage. Fun to watch.
I love Spearfishing Bro
Bravo Daniel, you did a really great job, top notch video as always 👍
Cheers Jeremy.
awesome video man, enjoyed every second!
Cheers Peter!
Awesome video
Thanks very much
I hope you were not disappointed from the conditions and come to Greece for spearfishing again. And who knows…maybe you shoot a dentex!
Hell yeah om from croatia and im proud of our divers
Some of the best in the world. Of course Gospic was once the champion.
I LOVE NEW ZEALAND !!!!!!!
Good for you
how deep can you free dive? i've only scubaed to around 30M. cant imagine doing anything deeper than 10 meters free diving myself. wow!
Deepest I’ve gone is 35m but that was shooting a fish not just up and down. I have mates that I’ve seen shoot fish in over 50m free diving though.
What a small world~ i used to work with David at my first job 14 years ago! Haha i didnt even know he was a spearo!

I mean honestly, if you are down to shooting fish less than 500 grams its time to give nature a rest
roger konopasek really depends where you are fishing man
If there are no fish so they are just trying to shoot anything. Nature needs a rest
Depends on where you live. Some places don't really have abundant sea life.
Some fish don't grow any larger than 500 grams so....
Fishing small fish is far more environmentally sustainable, honestly.
Looks like some challenging diving out there. Why is there such a lack of fish in Greece? Are there any regulations?
It's been overfished for centuries. Regulations of course but still the fish are very smart. I went to Italy last month and currently making a video about the spearfishing there.

Superb video, are you going to film this year word cup in Arbatax in Italy ?
Supersport! Great energy guys...keep going... Portugal is not going to be so deep ;-)
Unfortunately Australia isn’t sending a team to Portugal nor team GBR. I’d love to go film the event but I can’t seem to get in contact with anyone there.
Keep trying Daniel, Portugal is awesome but indeed, people are a bit slow :-) Who exactly are you trying to get in touch with?.

Daniel Thank you Man for the share and the filming and commenting , I am not sure if you are coming to the world championship in 2 weeks so we can get some nice videos :D
Unfortunately I don’t think I will be going, I have no home teams (UK or Australia) going to no one to film.
I am Tunisian so I am participating but yeah I think so far around 25 countries registered.
We may have met in Syros? Tunisia did pretty good last time I recall. Super friendly guys as well!
Thanks man it wasn't me but you probably have met our Team. I can tell that you guys are super friendly too just from watching videos. I have started scouting in north of Tunisia but I don't think it will be deeper than Syros.
Its cool to see other people experience greek culture some people don't like it but im greek and ive been raised with it. Also my uncle is like part of the greek mafia soooo 👀🤫
great video, was the spanish diver okay in the end?
I believe everyone was okay in the end albeit some divers recovery took longer than others.
id love to go there im from Greece but born in Austalia
I am 1 quarter Greek!
Daniel i have a question, i n 2021 you go to australia?
No, not worth the risk of getting stuck there. Not to mention the extortionate cost.
great
Was there Lebanon
12:44 John Sideris🔥
Well yea in med sea you need to go deep, like my dad was a diver when I was younger and he could go like 45-50 m
And I forgot this was in Croatia so it was maybe different with the other countries but dad would get some nice fish at those depths and one thing is if you want to fish go deep.
Now i am interested what did he catch there so deep
It’s logical that Greek Italian and cyprian people scored well because fishing in the Agean sea is a ALOT more difficult and people that fish there all the time can adapt

You have to adapt and use more sophisticated tactics than just swimming up to the fish like you do in the rest of the world. I reccomend watching some Greek or Italian youtubers to better get the feel of it
😂 Italian guy was probably grande Giacomo de Mola.
Yes indeed the one and only de Mola :-)
Most the British divers are from South Africa
Correct, still some great British divers like the legendary Peter Crawford.
Hay . If you imagine us a video about your speargun
hey I think you misheard meters for feet at 4:30 because I honestly don't believe many people could dive 230 feet( 70 meters)
100% metres mate. These are the best in the world. Seen many people spearfishing at 50m+.
The bi fin world record is ~105m
Hi
Hi!
wtf, med is empty...humans destroyed everything there
no sustainable fishing possible
Yeah sadly there isn't enough control on commercial fishing
@@notairsoft119 there's actually a LOT of control but it ends up as cronyism with "big players" always taking the lion's share. That's what strict regulations always bring about.
@@C_R_O_M________ no there isn't, atleast not in Greece, you have tons of fuckers running around with fucking dynamite and destroy the ecosystem
Catching up on some old video's of yours, is there a Portugal 2018 video, cant find anything ??
I didn’t attend. Australian Underwater Federation decided to open the entry to anyone interested 3 weeks before the competition - not helpful.
@@DanielMann lol, cant hold my breath for sh#t but I do have a passport....maybe they should recruit guys like Adam Stern Jarrad Oxley etc (Youngbloods)
no turkey?
I didn't think that Greece had any fish left let along something that is big enought to spear.
They certainly do, just requires a lot of skill and very deep diving.
Great vid, think only the patriots didn't enjoy it 😅
Why do they host the World Championships in the Med, which is so overfished?
To test a divers ability of course.
Amaizing video though the Syros is not good for spearfishing consider Sifnos of pafos
USA USA USA USA USA 🇺🇸
USA did pretty good in this competition! Great divers in the team.
What did they take?
How did you get into the Australian team ?
I was just the reserve diver but mainly wanted to go to film. If you are a decent diver in Australia and have the funds more than likely you can jump on the team. Comes down to cash but living in Europe makes it cheap for me to head there.
15:30 sediris looks sedated. he can't even stand straight.
He had a big day diving over 50m!
St. Mark I also saw how Sideris looked at the man, it is clear that he greeted him courtesy but he was the champion was a trap
Why are all the Brits from South Africa?
Julian hansford is the fucking man...
Bruh Greece has such a little amount of fish
Its true . Fish in Greece suffered a lot for a lot of reasons like overfishing and the threat of the tropical (and venomus for humans) fish coming from the indian ocean ,which have no natural enemies in the Mediterranean sea
Brazil porra!!!
It would have been great if you people had answered on emails from someone who is Australian and lives here in Greece and was trying to find out information, cause of his spearfishing ability here in Greece...
Anyway... Wish you would communicate more!
Unfortunately I had nothing to do with organising the Australian team so please don't be upset with me. The Australian team was picked from results at Australian National championships so unless you competed in those you wouldn't be eligible for the team. You would have been great for local knowledge and scouting/coaching with the team no doubt.
Sideris was probably right to protest and kudos to him that he did. I don't care about nationalities and "friendships". If you cheat you cheat and you should be stopped. To protest means you protect all other athletes too, not just yourself.
19:21 there's Ryan again
Great Britain sound like south African
hA hA IT'S A TOUGH DIG TO GO DEEP TO GET A MORAY EEL AND AN UNDERWEIGHT RED MULLET
What's wrong with eating Bananas?
Groper

That looks like mayhem, Ha ha
The English people are South African
They have British citizenship.
so many SA accents on the aussie team
The Australian team were born in Australia, Germany, Italy & South Africa actually.
Bananas are a no no.
Some of them European divers need to came see Australia where there is fish
Sounds like a South African or two in there
In Russia they throw the fish at the spear lol
D
65meters, fuck me.
No wonder there's hardly any fish in these islands. Totally wiped out breeding populations.
Chiampionship of stupidity, Mediterranean is an almost dead sea and they are celebrating over some dead fishes..
if there are hardly any fish left then stop killing the rest people... really pitiful
silly place for a world spearfishing championship. the most over fished and barren sea on the planet. pretty hard work if you're used to diving in aus
World Championships were never meant to be easy. Was excellent to witness the calibre of divers.
I was wondering the same thing.. If it was over fished or just not a "good" area.
But i can see a point in having the world champion ship held in a place where its gonna be extremly hard to catch anyfish.
Similar to going to Australia for a historical / cultural trip...
And it was raped some more
Everyone will not stood a chance if you will let a Filipino Badjao Spear Fishing join this competition. Badjao's literally walk on seabed without any weights.
Russia has access to the ocean and the Black Sea too (for a stupid author)
God what a boring comp
