Hi Daniel, could you add a section in your videos where you talk a bit about the legislation about spearfishing of the places/ countries you dive? I think it would be really nice for people considering to go for spearfishing abroad. Anyway we really enjoy your video, much love from Greece ❤
Great suggestion! I generally talk about it when I'm in a a place that needs a license or they have forbidden fish and techniques. Maybe I'll do a whole video for most of Europe.
Mad skills, hitting the margis then bagging such a nice fish! What was that fish, gilthead? Looks good. Hope to see that dish in the next Noob Spearo Cookbook XD
It is! Yet to try it (looks awesome), but I meant the feed that complimented the spicy margis! Everyone seemed super-excited about that. Possibly tequila-enhanced excitement?
Greetings from Greece! A thorough search with a torch of the slit at 1.53 might have yielded a bigger corvina and/or some goldbloch grouper (stira). Stiras (as well as corvinas) love this kind of morphology in the bottom especially in silty waters and frequently share holes together.
Kalimera! I had a really good look in there with the 60cm gun later in the day. It wasn't that deep, around 8-9m so suspect the fish don't reside there as often. I was really hoping for a white grouper with the silty bottom but have never seen one in Albania. Only in Rhodes but with very similar bottom structure.
Hey Daniel, that snail you saw is called a ''Tonna Galea''. Very abundant in the med, if you know where to look of course. Judging by the size of that one... it could be well over 50 years of age. Protected by law and very slow growing. Great find!
amazing content but if possible, can you add fish photos whenever you're mentioning them as in 10:35 , it would be very interesting to get to know them
@ipojucanrocha8300 What states in brasil do you recommend? My wife is from Brasil so that would be an epic to squeeze in if possible during our next visit.
Daniel, (1) at 17 seconds into your video, you have a line attached to a weight belt-mounted loop on the middle of your back. Do you *usually* wear this line attached to your buoy? What's the decision-making that you employ as to whether to attach the surface support line and have to tow it around with you or rather to have the surface support station anchored? Is it just that you don't want to have to be retrieving the anchor (lifting the 2 - 3 kg weight through the water column) in order to reposition it for your next drop and then have to make surface swims from your ascent point back to the buoy? Does this line present an issue with fouling your freediving fins that you have to observe? Visibility looks incredible!!! (2) Interested in why -- if you knew you'd be dropping on rock formations ... given your previous experience here -- you, initially, would choose your longer speargun only to subsequently recognize the 60cm gun was more appropriate? Is your thinking that perhaps there just might be a target out-in-the-blue that would require increased range?? LOVE your body of work, Mate!!!!
I have the drop weight on my belt on the swim out as it’s easier to move the speargun around instead of it being attached to that. I don’t normally fish like this but as mentioned it was just a few warm up dives before we got to the place we wanted to dive, I then anchored the float. The first drop on a place has the potential to find a large grouper out of a hole, a dentex or amberjack. Thats why I used the larger roller first. If you see nothing then looking in holes is the next strategy. It’s hard to do it the other way around because if you drop first with a 60cm gun and see a dentex, very difficult to shoot it.
3:15 That's a Giant Tun (Tonna Galea) they used to be abundant in the Mediterranean but tour enterprises killed them for their shells to sell them as souvenir especially in Malta. Usually they keep the corals and water clean and are a good sign of a healthy environment, however they are poisonous if consumed. @Daniel Mann. They are also usually buried under the sand floor and only leave a small hole at the center, or they are half covered and look like a clay vase.
Great information! I thought it was unusual to see such a large shell in a fairly touristic and populated area. I guess being poisonous to eat they are somewhat less desirable.
Great video, as always! In one of the previous episodes, you mentioned that you would also be spearfishing in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. I only hope you had your chances because the Black Sea can be problematic regarding weather, visibility, and temperatures. Should we expect a video from there, too?
Yes there will be a video from the Black Sea. It was an incredible dive that we had. Lots of fish, 10m visibility, 20°C water and flat calm seas. I have another video from Albania and two from Türkiye before that video though.
Having dived that coast Dan, I would say on a clear viz day you might have seen that Bream from miles away and killed it with a long ambush but you would not have had a chance to shoot it just swimming along at 3 meters water as you were. That was the viz working in your favor ... or maybe "in your favor"... but you know what I am saying... Nice images once again. My only gripe, let us know in advance next time :)
Great vid. Still think there's a niche for a video about how to plan a dive from scratch inc tides, currents, navionics etc etc. I'm sure you have contacts but you seem to be able to dive somewhere abroad that you're visited for the first time more confidently than I can dive the beach I've fished for 30 years 🤣
Very cool, good sir! A quick question on the salt bake. Is there a layer salt under the fish as well, or is it on foil and capped only? It looked so good!! Inspiration for this weekend!!
Hi Christopher, yes I put a layer underneath the fish. Might not be necessary but seems to work. I’ve done a longer video on the process here ua-cam.com/video/VM2FVUyp8Q4/v-deo.htmlsi=Ir1tmOKAAxi8_Cv8
Hi Daniel. Great video as always. I’m curious, do you still use the DJI Osmo Action 3? The shots are so crisp. I have bad experience with the Action 3 being unsharp and poor quality. /Mads
Hi there, yes I’ve been using the Osmo action for all my POV stuff since spring last year. I don’t actually have a GoPro anymore (lost my hero 10 in spring!). I prefer the reliability of the Osmo action 3 and the battery life is way better. Never had a single issue with it to be honest. Only gripe is the white balance changes underwater as it doesn’t have a native white balance setting like the GoPros. Not enough to change back though. I think the unsharp images have been solved with firmware. Mine has always been great for me. I’ll probably get an action 4 at some stage.
@@DanielMann I’m completely shocked 😮 I have the latest firmware update, but footage looks awful. Oh well, thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work, Daniel 🙌
How do you deal with fishing licences in the countries you go. I am planning to do a trip soon. Do you just pay the yearly fee or is there a special permit?
Depends on the country. There isn’t a license in Albania or Greece. Denmark it’s an online thing and pretty cheap for the year. Spain is a bit of a mission but also valid for a year or two depending on the municipality. Croatia it’s an online one from a day to a week for visitors (not that cheap). Portugal is an online thing and I believe you pick a week or a month. Not the easiest online system. I should probably do a video on it all!
This one was just an Omer cayman. I now have a Meandros to match my other smaller railguns. Depending on the fish I’m going for but I’d say the single point in more useful all round.
12:00 I can hear Greek people talking in the distance! Lots of people in south Albania are actually of Greek origin. By the way, in Greece, you are not allowed to use light for spearfishing. It is illegal to even have a torch in your backpack when you are going for spearfishing!
@cheyevocheyevo4808...there are much, much more Greeks of Albanian origin than Albanians of Greek origin....Not only ordinary people but almost all of Greece's national heroes and their heads of state were Orthodox Albanians (Arvanites Suliotes and cams)
I love your videos, but I don’t love the swearing. My boys and I started spear fishing partly because of the amazing videos you produce but we weren’t able to finish this one because of the language.
Fake news, population of Albania is 2.8 million. A quick google reveals around 250K in Switzerland and mostly Kosovar Albanians after the Yugoslav wars.
Well done my friend. But I told the previous time that you came in Albania to tell me that you were coming so I would give some places names to dive and in the first weeks of October the sea was great everywhere in Albania. Even in the Adriatic sea where I am was wonderful, lots of bluefish, gilthead seabream and groupers even in the shallow.
It was nice conditions for sure! Sorry, I have lots of messages over the years from all the places I visit, it’s hard to remember everyone. Next time perhaps!
How come Greece authority(¿?) is not sending fines to your goodself as a UK or EU citizen after this ? while they do send high tickets to even Turkish celebrities diving and even without shooting a fish after they return home to Bodrum.. Lucky you again no Turkish authority will turn your nice spearfishing holiday into a bitter experience afterwards.. I watch people coming and diving near Kas even at night time or at dawn from Gr islands or boats anchored there and again noone bothering noone here.. Can you comment on this as a popular youtuber about this unfair policy act against our travelling spearos pls?
Next video is from Türkiye, loads of fish there. I’m not massively excited by fish like wahoo & kingfish. Sure I’ll take them but I’d prefer to hunt a fish and work for it.
Last time I was in Australia it was hard to get excited by some of the fish I was shooting. Even things like a 6kg bar cheek trout, red emperor, 2kg grassy emperors. They didn’t present a huge challenge. I was however stoked on shooting a 13.5kg barramundi. Possibly due to nostalgic reasons but you do have to work for those things in the murk.
@@DanielMann you should check out the Caribbean and Florida for some unique hunting on deep reefs, wrecks, and the rigs. Would make for an awesome video and hunting monster cubera may present the challenge you are looking for.
Hi Daniel, watch all your videos. My young daughter loves to watch them with me. Any chance you would consider bleeping the swearing because I have to turn it off when when you have a swearer on with you. It doesn't add anything to the content only detract. Just my opinion.
On the underwater footage or the topside footage? Underwater stuff I always use da Vinci resolve to grade, it’s got no rivals when it comes to RGB controls and effects. For the topside stuff I’m using a Sony A7S3 and just grade that in premiere pro with a Sony LUT and then some tweaks.
@@DanielMann I need to learn da Vinci, I’m really happy using premiere but you are right when it comes to color. What Sony LUT do you use if you don’t mind me asking? I just picked up the FX3 to start my career in video production
@WildCaughtOutdoors I use the standard slog3 cine to rec 709 LUT from the official Sony website. Then I have a creative one I add over the top. FX3 is a great camera. Basically the same as the A7S3 - can’t beat that full frame look.
Hi Daniel, could you add a section in your videos where you talk a bit about the legislation about spearfishing of the places/ countries you dive? I think it would be really nice for people considering to go for spearfishing abroad. Anyway we really enjoy your video, much love from Greece ❤
Great suggestion! I generally talk about it when I'm in a a place that needs a license or they have forbidden fish and techniques. Maybe I'll do a whole video for most of Europe.
My local water is the colour of mud for the next little bit during rainy season so these videos are keeping me sane😂
My local water - ice😂😂😂
Loving the chemistry between you and Patrick, very entertaining to watch 🙂
Cheers Ethan!
Albania looks amazing, great video as always
Would definitely recommend it!
Mad skills, hitting the margis then bagging such a nice fish! What was that fish, gilthead? Looks good.
Hope to see that dish in the next Noob Spearo Cookbook XD
Thanks, yes a Gilthead. Salt bake is in the current noob Spearo cookbook 💪
It is! Yet to try it (looks awesome), but I meant the feed that complimented the spicy margis! Everyone seemed super-excited about that. Possibly tequila-enhanced excitement?

Fair play Daniel, spearfishing is quite well suited for it but I think you are one of the best story tellers on yt
Thank you very much 🙏🏻
enhorabuena excelentes vacaciones de fish and cook y todo una pinta deliciosa, con buen pescado no es complicado
thanks Daniel, for these beautiful images
Glad you’re enjoying them, thank you.
Hey Daniel, that snail you saw is called a ''Tonna Galea''. Very abundant in the med, if you know where to look of course.
Judging by the size of that one... it could be well over 50 years of age. Protected by law and very slow growing. Great find!
Need more videos with all 4 of you guys.
Great to get a vicarious holiday amidst all the storms! 👍
Storms are ridiculous at the minute. Hopefully they start to back off soon.
@2:59 Tonna galea, Giant Tun, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonna_galea Very Cool!
Thanks very much 🙌
Holy smokes mate, another awesome banger. You know I'm waiting for the next adventure 🙌🙌🙌
Cheers Dan!
Absolutely loved this video! That gilthead bream is a beauty 👌🏼 thanks! Cant wait for the next!
Cheers Ben!
Welcome Back,glad you enjoying it
Thanks again!
Bella orata, bravo Daniel!
Grazie mille!
The shell is a Tonna galea. We find it here in Malta too.
Thanks Ian, spot on!
I think snail is Tona Galea. It looks sureal when on the a bottom with white sand.
Gëzuar, Daniel!
Gëzuar!
Amazing trip boss man I am a UA-camr from Indonesia ,i really love spearfishing boss man yewwww
Ha! I always say the mullet is badly underrated!! Very fun video with all that after-spearfishing scenes...
It’s fantastic raw as well. As we all know, spearfishing fun never stops once we leave the water!
Great video as always Daniel😉👌🏻 Hope to see you in norway later this year😊🙏🏻
That was a great video, thank you! :)
Cant wait until winter is finally over in northern europe to go spearfishing again😅
I am not sure but i think that snail is called a triton's trumpet
Αnother great video! Thanks for sharing!! Greetings from Greece
Thanks Gerasimos! Glad you enjoyed it.
One of my favorite videos… so much fun!
Thank you!
amazing content but if possible, can you add fish photos whenever you're mentioning them as in 10:35 , it would be very interesting to get to know them
The snail is Tonna galea. Pretty rare and protected in most places. Nice find!
Thank you very much!
Good job dude…gezuar!!!❤️
Awesome video as always Daniel! I always enjoy watching the hunt and then how you prepare your fish! Thanks for sharing! Be safe, God Speed 🔱
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow just wow!
The water was good brother, come dive in South America!! Brasil.
@ipojucanrocha8300 What states in brasil do you recommend? My wife is from Brasil so that would be an epic to squeeze in if possible during our next visit.
States: Bahia, Pernambuco, Alagoas Northeast of Brasil and Southeast of course Rio de Janeiro@@Kumukarl
Pretty cool
Che bella ORATA!😅 bravo Daniel!
Grazie Antonio, sto molto contento!
YESSIR that carpaccio looked unreal will have to have a crack
I’ve made it a few times now and it always slaps. Silver trevally was a favourite when I was in Bundaberg in 2022.
Finally a uploud. I love your videos
Thanks Simon, took a month break but back for consistent uploads!
another cracking episode and great fish too
Thank you very much!
That was a mint ep, can't wait to try fish capacio style!
Cheers Chris, it’s definitely worth doing. Lionfish is really great this style too.
Shume bukur🤙🏻

«Could not see your hand in front of your Face», Patrick is one spoiled spearo in terms of visibility🤣 Great video, love the atmosphere!
Beautiful video as usual Dan, I bet that orata tasted delicious!!
It certainly was! Thank you very much
@daniel that snail might be a giant Tun Snail (T. galea) but I can’t see the shape of the shell very well
Nice to see you get another dentex.
Thanks mate, this is a Gilthead bream which is similar looking but they don’t get as large as dentex. Stoked either way!
"Nice size!!!" That is what she said. Well done.
Small but pretty is what I usually hear.
@@DanielMann hahahah love your videos. Come visit Long Island sometime.

No chance of pulling the same shot in good visibility. Always have to be ready to adjust and adapt to different conditions on the day :)
Great Orata!
Grazie!
the snail was likely a see hare snai
Very nice trip nice video
I think that snail was the Zebra Turbo snails
Oh good, you're alive:)
Indeed! Just had a break over Christmas, was in need of it.
Cayman gi best speargun, complimenti Daniel belle catture e cotture.
Grazie mille Mario, cayman seitanta sta lavorando.

Yes very beautiful
Indeed!
Hi Daniel, please swear a bit more whenever possible, it really adds to the excitement and authenticity. Cheers 🍺🤬🤣
I think Patrick swore enough for both of us on this trip 🤣
😂😂 for sure, keeping it real.
We will forget he is an aussi if he doesn't
I watch with my kids, please don't
@inshanity84 swearing gone from the second part of this trip!

Hello Daniel, when were you in Albania? what date ?
Early October.
Geez your eyesight must be way better than mine! I can't even see the fish when you highlight them :D
The grouper was hard to see that’s for sure! Can only just see it on my computer screen.
İt's a nice video.ıt would be nice if you add the meters and bottom times. 💯🙏👍
I generally say in the voice over the depths but noted for future videos 👌
Perhaps the snail can be a Tonna galea? Can you please send to me a close picture?
Definitely is the Tonna galea - thank you very much!
it is a pleasure; I am a great admirer of your videos@@DanielMann
Keren ❤
Sorry Patrick! I'll get to it mate:)
rad video
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it.
12:00 I can hear Greek people talking in the distance! Lots of people in south Albania are actually of Greek origin. By the way, in Greece, you are not allowed to use light for spearfishing. It is illegal to even have a torch in your backpack when you are going for spearfishing!
Indeed, I’ve dived in Greece many times and aware of the torch rule. I think most Greeks still use a torch though!

Fuck yeah

Sure does, loves it! Has it sent to Albania from Australia 💪
No lobsters?
Slipper lobsters yes.
