Cheers mate! The Azores seems like an amazing place, on my bucket list for sure! Now during winter the waters are crystal clear, was 20 meters vis this weekend:)
Yeah, have experience from a couple of winters in Stavanger, and from this area last winter:) Will come a video from some typical winter diving from this weekend after the one from the Nordic Championship!
Yeah its generally less life in the winter. The upside is really good visibility, but generally it's easier to start out in late spring when there's more life to shoot. This weekend we saw lots of cods, but it takes some practice to spot them when its as dark as this. When there's only cods, and they spook deeper, your out of luck as a new spearo
@@AkselOrstavik Thanks, I will then think twice if I want to start this winter or wait until spring. Still gonna keep the pool training tho. Just joined the local freediving club in Trondheim.
Digger videoene dine, veldig inspirerende og lærerikt. Har akkurat bestilt utstyr fra Frivannsliv, men ikke satt i gang enda, så setter pris på at du blander fine bilder med info om fisk, fisking og dykking. Kjør på!
Takk skal du ha! Misunner deg, du har myyye fint i vente! Kor i landet holder du til? Vil anbefale å komme i kontakt me nærmeste klubb, ingenting slår en god dykkebuddy og to:)
@@AkselOrstavik tks for the info,.... them its almost like here in Galicia ( north-west coast of Spain just over Portugal)... fishing between 6 and 17m with sea water at 10-12ºC in winter and 15-18ºC in summer by us ;-)
@@AkselOrstavik Not yet,... maybe in a couple of years.... You can check this video ua-cam.com/video/SxUVE5QttE0/v-deo.html (english) he is fishing here in the same area as I do or this other ua-cam.com/channels/wNuUdGSZvlj2whTa-1M4zg.html (only spanish) that is fishing all over our province, we don't have Dentex (there are some spots were you can found some in summer but never guaranted as depend on water temperature), neither grouper fish, or other mediterranean species.... we have almost same species like in UK as we have "cold" water, and we have hard restictions for spearfishing as from September 30th to May 1st its only alowed on weekend and National hollidays, shellfish catching prohibited, freshwaters spearfising also prohibited........
Hey man, Im planning my first ever Spearfishing trip to Norway and have been watching many of your videos. I am looking for good spots and was wondering if you'd be willing to share the first spot you dove at.
Thanks! This was early fall and temperature was around 14 degrees Celsius. Haven’t been diving much here at summertime, but think it’s around 16-17 degrees then. So a 7mm is a very good all year suit:)
99% of my dives have been shore dives. As long as there’s current you don’t really need a boat. Of course a boat will help you hit many spots a day, and access some very tempting pinnacles;)
@@AkselOrstavik yeah makes sense. Do you think hitra is also a good place to hunt big halibut or do you need to go up north to maybe lofoten for that? :d
lovely morning. Nice video
Wow that looks insane. I gotta go there one day !!
Can’t recommend it enough:)
Good job Aksel!
Thanks mate!
Great video!
Thank for sharing with us this amazing experience!
It’s a pleasure!
That looks stunning. Good job!
Awesome video my friend. Loved it👌🏻
Top notch content! What an experience to share!
Thanks! Yeah, the things you can experience while freediving is simply wild
Very Nice vid 👍
Hello from azores!
I never expected such clear waters there, was a surprised!
Nice video! You got a new subscriber 👊
Cheers mate! The Azores seems like an amazing place, on my bucket list for sure! Now during winter the waters are crystal clear, was 20 meters vis this weekend:)
And those conger eels you get, some absolute units!
That's really good!
It's true, I already caught some big ones 😁
Do you see them there?
They are around, but very few are caught
@@AkselOrstavik for any specific reason?
Great video! Do you have any experiences spearfishing in the winter in Norway and in Trondheims aroundabouts?
Yeah, have experience from a couple of winters in Stavanger, and from this area last winter:) Will come a video from some typical winter diving from this weekend after the one from the Nordic Championship!
@@AkselOrstavik Great! I live in Trondheim and will start spearfishing, but I heard its more difficult in winter because of less fish. Is it true?
Yeah its generally less life in the winter. The upside is really good visibility, but generally it's easier to start out in late spring when there's more life to shoot.

so nice I love Norway so much ! I would really love to spearfish there. thakx very much
It should definitely be on any spearo’s bucket list!
@@AkselOrstavik I've always thought that spearfishing was forbidden in Norway
That’s Sweden. Fully legal sport here, with a growing community!
@@AkselOrstavik OMG !! I'll be back ! 🤣😂
@@AkselOrstavik hey hey. Do you have a boat or are you starting from the sea shore ? Or both ? 😊
Hey very cool video and nice fish, just one question what speargun were u using and what lenght?
Thanks! I use a ‘Frivannsliv Hunter 95cm’ speargun:)

I did se some videos from you and other spearfishing in Norway and was alwais wondering how deep do you usually spearfishing in Norway?
Most of the time 8-15 meters. Sometimes the fish is shallower, sometimes deeper

@@Chausinho make it 3-4 degrees Celsius in winter and it’s basically the same;)
Is the fish there as shy as the fish in the Mediterranean?

Hey man, Im planning my first ever Spearfishing trip to Norway and have been watching many of your videos. I am looking for good spots and was wondering if you'd be willing to share the first spot you dove at.
It’s on the Island of Hitra, west of Trondheim. Shoot me a dm on insta/Face and I’ll provide you with some more details:)
Great video man! Hoping to spearfish again in Norway soon! What is the water temperature in Hitra in the summer?
Thanks! This was early fall and temperature was around 14 degrees Celsius. Haven’t been diving much here at summertime, but think it’s around 16-17 degrees then. So a 7mm is a very good all year suit:)
@@AkselOrstavik sounds good! thanks. do you usually shore dive or do you need a boat there?

Big halibut has been caught out at Hitra, but higher chance up north!
