    You should hook up with the blokes from Fishing the Wild, in NT. They need someone with underwater filming skills, and you need to get back into some water with fish in it.
    You won't get taken by a croc or tiger shark, because they have someone looking out from the boat. Safe as houses.

    • @DanielMann

    What kind of setup you use for your water bottle? i've been strugling with it

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  5 років тому +1

      Thanks Pedro. I actually twist copper strand around the neck of the bottle to form a loop on either side. Then a piece of cord between the loops and a swivel clip in the middle. Keeps the bottle dragging behind the float evenly without spinning out of control, tangling everything in the stringer.

    @darbycann7379 5 років тому

    I personally don't agree with spearfishing competitions, they tend to take a lot of fish from a relatively small area, of course smaller competitions are fine, but once they get to a certain size they just seem like they're doing unnecessary damage to the fish population. It just doesn't sit right with me most of the time. But anyway, as always, loved the video and I look forward to more in the future!

    • @DanielMann

      Each to their own. The format of competitions with one fish per species are much better than a bunch of weekend warriors smashing one target species in my opinion.

    what are your thoughts on deducting points for undersize fish?
    love the video and the channel.

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  5 років тому

      There are penalties for being late but not for fish that don’t make minimum size. The minimum competition size is above legal size also. In world championships & Euro African championships you get penalty points for fish that are less than ⅔ the minimum weight and if you bring in more fish than allowed per species.

    Love the vids Dan, but comps fly in the face of freediving safety...🤔😔 diving solo with no help in sight is scary at best .
    They need to install a buddy/team rule .
    Sooner or later something will happen, hopefully not , but yeah , number 1 rule of freediving #neverdivealone
    Cheers mate
