Deep Spearfishing: The Reef II
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Deep spearfishing on 'The Reef' is very tough and challenging: constant weight dives to 40m, agile fish...
We already know how wrong can it all go at 'The Reef', but what about the bright side? How good can it get?
A sequel to the 'Dark Side of Deep Spearfishing'. The very bright opposite this time :)
I love your mentality when it comes to the sea. You're my spearfishing idol and many many people can learn from you tons of things that would benefit our environment. You have 5 good sized groupers in your face and you can just go away without pulling the trigger, while somebody else would of blindly shot the 1st grouper that comes in their face no matter the size.
Keep making videos bro!
Thank you Abdelkader!
With time I came to realise that its not about shooting the most fish. When you think about it, It doesn't really make you happy :) What makes me happy is when I set a new challenge and overcome it.
So sometimes I would agree (with myself) to shoot the most difficult fish (the one in the back) and only that particular fish. I can spend few hours trying to chase it :)
But remember, its not the shot that matters, its that second before the shot :)
I'm a fan of your videos as i am new to the sport. Free diving got me in to spearfishing and sustainability, i have not bought any seafood from commercial methods for over a year now which i am proud off. Great videos with informative commentary...keep it up.
from Australia
Hi! Wow, its pretty cool that you manage to stay off the commercial fishing products. Definitely a healthier and a more clever approach...
And thank you for your comment ;)
amazing clip for me , like all your clips actually .not only that you are a pro, that's obvious , it's the feeling you give beyond the spearfishing itself , hard to explain. anyways, great job keep it up man.
Thanks!
I think that spearfishing is a much 'deeper' (mentally) activity than just shooting fish. Its an art on many levels. Or I wish people considered it an art. I definitely do :)
I love your vidéos. In my opinion you are one of the best spearfishing youtubers, you deserve more subscribers !!
Keep doing this amazing videos. Thank you and dive safe.
Oh thank you :)
I am glad to receive such a comment, it means that I am on a right track. Having tons of subscribers is not the most important thing in life, but I am happy as long as I motivate some of you to get in the water OR/AND to want to get deeper :)
Really love your respect for the sea and towards its life in it! Should be taught as an example to the extremely over motivated guys shooting for quantity! Good job!
Thanks Jakub, well, the more you get to know the sea, the more respect I you should show. Or thats the way it should be... Unfortunately, we (humans) often forget about it...
But yes, I would be happy if my videos were an example to others :)
Great video Anvar and great restraint by not taking the shot..Sometimes you have to enjoy the ocean and the scenery instead of taking the shots..The fish will be there tomorrow :) keep posting this great videos
Efharisto, Marios :)
The fish would definitely be there if more people employed this technique :)
Unfortunately, human nature is often against 'not shooting'...
+Anvar Mufazalov Especially in Cyprus....every winterthe shallow waters are full of small groupers ...200-300 gramms...in the summer there is none...
Yeah, its sad.
Here you can see those 200-300gr rofo/pigga ending up on a restaurant shelf. However, the most sad thing is seing juvenile fish with the shot marks. I mean, we all are destructive to the sea, but i think we should try to keep our 'destructive-ness' under control.
Nefesine sağlık Anvar.
Görüntüler harika. Birde resifi yakından görmek bambaşka bir duygu olsa gerek.
Thank God, Uru is back!! Great job Anvar...
Thank you, I was also very happy having her back in my hands :)
good stuff man, shoot only what you need no point in over fishing just cuz you can.
Agree with you!
word
Охота на таких глубинах это что-то запредельное. Просто супер!!!
Bravo Anvar!- Excelent job,as usual.
You are a true sea-lover! Congratulations also for the messages that you give through your videos
Thanks White :)
I am glad that you liked the vid
You know you love someones videos when you pause ad-block just before watching them :D
Привет из далекого Владивостока Анвар! Чесно? Ты мой кумир!!!
Пересмотрел твои видео по несколько раз! Я без ума от твоей психологии и взглядов на наше любимое дело! Реально мечтаю встретиться с тобой и пожать тебе руку!!!
Ух ты, привет!
У меня отец служил во Владивостоке!
Спасибо за добрые слова :)
Ну, всё дело же в голове, поэтому правильная психология очень важна... Я думаю, что как-нибудь встретимся. Земля ведь маленькая и кругленькая :) Когда нибудь пересечёмся. Как нырялка во Владивостоке?
Насчет головы это точно!
Нырялка во Владике норм. Ждем Лакедру - точим гарпуны. Сейчас у нас сезон дождей, в июне всегда так. С июля начнется - Лакедра, Темный, Гипероглиф.
Anvar you're the best! As always I've enjoyed watching your video very much. Great point there: "You don't always have to shoot!" Keep up those great videos!
Definitely not the best, but thank you for the nice words :)
I strongly believe that its NOT about shooting the most fish that makes you a good spearo :)
As always great video and about the c4, unbelievable. :-)
Thanks Nikos, yeah the URU was there... Just waiting in the blue. We both were happy to see each other :)
Great job man. Hope one day more spearos in Cyprus will think like you. Keep up with good job!!!
Thanks Adam!
I think people should think twice before pulling the trigger :)
Any country, any time :)
Both of the reef videos are amazing! You are very lucky you can dive in this magical place! I realy believe that when you respect the sea, the sea returns this favour back !!!
Bravo !!
Thanks Thanos!
Yes, the 'Reef' is amazing... Its the karma in action :)
great freediver , amazing spot and really beautiful mindset
Thanks Mejdi :)
Great video (again) and glad you found your c4.
good job .. the your recommendations is really perfectly.. and your videos like a documantery.. we are waiting for continue another videos about reef ;)
Thanks Mustafa. I am now in Izmir, so I dont know when I will be on the 'Reef' next time :)
CBR'cik iyi ;)
Анвар, как всегда Мега супер! респект тебе! жду продолжения огня на рифах. Однозначно большой лайк! Просто твой 4C Уруквай ждал тебя,когда ты его заберёшь.Рад что ты его нашёл.
Спасибо, Юр!
Огонь на "Рифе" точечный, редкий. Но запоминающийся :)
Big fan of your videos! Keep it up!
Greetings from Messinia, Greece
Efharisto for the nice words!
One sea for all ;)
How can I say it in Greek? Mia thalassa for all?
Mia thalassa gia olous!
Μια θάλασσα για όλους!
Efharisto :)
I will learn that!
Amazing! Excellent job! And thanks for the tip... you don't need ever to shoot 😉
Yes, Edu. Its that second before pulling the trigger (or not pulling the trigger) that is the most important :)
Great Video!! Your last video actually inspired me to go out and start spearfishing and its been a lot of fun.
Wow, thats great!
I am glad my videos were of help to you :)
Loved it .. Loved the beautiful place .. From a red sea diver .
Thanks Annan!
Dive safe!
Nice job Anvar. Glad you let some fish live once in awhile. Suggestion: it's always nice to see you bring up the fish, show it off and tell the kilo/depth/dive time.
Man, one video without the kilio/depth/dive time and here you are :)
Fine fine...
I was SO HAPPY to hear you got your gun back!! GREAT video!!!
Thanks Albert!
I was very happy too :)
Great video, amazing scenes! Such "rich" spots offer much more than just a nice catch! Thumbs up amigo!
Thanks, Antonios.
Some places have a unique place in our souls/minds and the 'Reef' is such a place for me... Do you have similar 'top' choices?
+Anvar Mufazalov maybe I have maybe I don't. Dance for me and you might find out someday! ❤️
You are biting more than you can chew, Antonios.
Give me 2 weeks. 2 weeks for my complete domination. In a dance sense of way
+Anvar Mufazalov the count down has began...
Your content is sick! You deserve way more subscribers
Thanks Jack, I am glad you liked the content. We are slowly getting there... :)
I follow you Anvar,
I thank you for sharing.
I am very glad to be the weapon.
Thank you Kadir!
Tufek buldugum icin ben da cok memnum oldum :)
Красавец) Ружьё риф вернул неспроста!
Спасибо!
Ага, это был приятный сюрприз.
Когда на "Рифе" иногда ощущение, будто он тебя хочет проглотить, а потом приходишь домой и понимаешь, что хочешь назад к нему. В эту синеву:)
Anvar that great they give you back the speargun youre lucky i enjoy your video how much iam learn from you thankyou
Hi Anvar, your video is beautiful as your philosophy, i'm happy for you, the Urukay came back home! :-)
Merci!
If we continue spearfishing in 2/5/10 years from now on its very important to think about our Sea. We are NOT harmless, so we have to control the harm that we do
Красавчик каких мало! Любуюсь👍
Great one Anvar!!!
Amazing footage!!!
Thanks Dimos, the dentex were headed your way ;)
Really hope so...! ;)
I like your thinking. Continue the good work :)
Thank you Djordie!
Great video bro
Excellent video. Keep it up
Thank you!
Как всегда очень красивое и интересное видео! Классно что ружьё нашло хозяина!
Спасибо, Николай.
Мы с Урукаем тоже так думаем :)
Great videos. 👍👍
Thanks Kawika!
Great video ! Thank you for this really nice footage !
Thanks Angelos, the dentex scene was epic. Still in front of my eyes :)
Super video Anvar!!!
Thanks Julian :)
ah, those dentex :)
Love the ethical hunting! Too many people take the wrong mentality with them to the water because they want the biggest fish or they want the most fish which isn't always what getting out there is about. nice to see it done right
Thats the human nature, unfortunately. Its easier to just think 'now' and not worry about the future at all. But I think we both agree, that it is not the way to go...
Good job
Great video
I enjoyed it
Thanks Zidan! Glad to know you did!
You are great Anvar. Nice videos and really proud of you for not shooting all the time.I know, You ve been to turkey and if you come again I d like to meet you.thanks again.
Thank you, Erdem! I am in TUR quite often, the next trip is Izmir>Istanbul. So I will be in Izmir on the 24th, late night. Drop me a message on fb, so maybe we cam meet ;)
Another great video, thank you for making these videos keep it up!
Thanks, Rob. I am glad you liked it :) I will do my best to keep them up :)
really nice, keep it up !!
Thank you!
it is perfect Anvar!
Thank you. It was a 'happy' sequel to the 'Reef' :)
good stuff
much respect
Thank you Alexandro!

Well done on not shooting all the fish, i do exactly the same , sometimes it just doesn't seem right,

Thanks Vladimir!
I think we both are on the right track :)
Nice work!!

Spaziale !!!!
Thank you :)
önemli bilgiler ve tecrübeler, teşekkürler...
Her zaman bekliyoruz, Yusuf :)
I wish I could dive like you as well, but I cannot dive like that deep cuz I just start this sport 3 months ago, anyway great work on you!
Well, slowly slowly you will get better ;)
looking forward to more videos. Great video, im glad you got your gun back :D
Thanks man! yeah, I had goosebumps when saw its silhouette in the blue :)
Respect 👏 *stands up and applaud*
Thank you Carlos :)
i really like your video and im so glad that you find your gun
Thanks Hamza :)
Can you talk about how to stay fit for diving? What kind of exercise regime?...
Hi Anvar, can I know which underwater camer you use? Thanks
WOW!
Amazing!
keep em coming
Thanks Uri, they are coming :)
Great video and a way of thinking. To bad more spearfishermen didn't think that way.
Well, people are people :)
Hopefully some people will listen to what I say and follow the rational thought
Great video.
more spearos should be like you. :)
Join the 'Spearo 21 (as of 21st century)' club.
Develop yourself, think before you shoot, enjoy every second of it :)
amazing
Agreed!
The Best.
What do you film with? Amazing quality and content as always.
Above the water is with Sony A6000, underwater is a GPRO 3+ Black. Thanks for the comment :) Quality AND content are important to me :)
beatifull
i tuoi video sono i migliori....punto!!
Grazie :))
Great work mate.Always look forward to your up loads.
Do you get lobster in the med?
Ps.your c4 was the best thing you have caught yet ;)
Thanks!
We dont have much lobster, but they are soooo tasty :)
Often I just leave them, tho. They are too easy to catch :)
I felt very happy to get the URU back... I missed her and she missed me too (probably) :)
Hey Anvar
as always, AMAZING diving, amazing hunting and proper ethics. way to go.
but allow me a question: what do you mean by "the reef" in particular???
like your favorite spot?
hey man, good video!, i notice something... your fins, have a... cut at the end, hows that help you in the diving, what the funtion of that cut at the end of the fin?
Hey Daniel, sorry for a late reply.
This set of fins was a prototype so we were just playing around. They are softer than the original version, but it doesn't really affect the performance. Physically speaking, they should have a bit worse performance than the originals, but in real life the effect is negligible...
Спасибо,очень интересно
Пожалуйста, заходите ещё :)
Hi. Great videos. Just out of interest, I've never spearfished at this depth but have done freediving, do you use mouthfill or is there another technique you use?
Take care and safe diving.
Hi! Thanks!
Although I do sometimes use mouthfill, there is no real need for it (for me at least). So I stick to Frenzel 95% of the time...
Thanks. After 30m the frenzel not so effective for me.
Hello Anvar.
I have followed all your videos and am amazed with them. Thank you very much for sharing so much beauty and quality.
A couple of things:
I believed you turned your C4 Urukay into a roller gun. Is that correct? Would you recommend it? I have a 120 Urukay too and love it as it came standard setu up.
Lastly, are the waters in Cyprus that clear most of the time?
Thanks,
Antonio
Ciao Antonio!
Thank you for the nice words
"A couple of things:I believed you turned your C4 Urukay into a roller gun. Is that correct?"
Yes, it is. I had a 105 URU which is a great gun, but I wanted to make it a comfortable gun too. So I turned it into a roller, I have some photos on my facebook.
"Would you recommend it?"
Absolutely! It was amazing. It didnt look like a standart roller, because the 'bottom' rubbers were actually on the top. So it looked like a 3 banded gun with a roller's performance.
"I have a 120 Urukay too and love it as it came standard setup"
I am not sure what is the standart setup, I got my gun from Filippo Anglani, you might know him. As a standart gun I didnt like it with 7mm shaft. It was okay with 7,5. But very good with a 8mm. But for a roller, 16mm Roller bands + 14mm traditional bands + 8mm shaft was AMAZING.
"Lastly, are the waters in Cyprus that clear most of the time?"
Yes, usually the visibility is around 30m. In some places it can be up to 40.
Anvar. In the morning of Brexit, it is a breadth of fresh air to hear and learn from your expert comments. After my outings with Victor Abellan in Ibiza I have also evolved into 8mm shaft and thinner bands with my URU.. Many thanks indeed for sharing again and taking the time, and will love one day to take you out in amazing Cyprus.
Yes, Brexit seems to be a new adventure of the EU :)
I think if there is a solid base (Uru, Oceanborn, heavy wood) then an 8mm is the best choice for a shaft. I am not talking about mullet spearfishing though :)
And then, once the 8mm is on, its the choice of bands. I did not see a drastic performance change between 2 and 3 *16mm bands, for example. So on my 120 gun I left a 8mm + 2*16mm (actually 15,5) bands. Just like Dentons120 back in a day :)
It would be great to get in our deep blue waters with you, Antonio ;)
Hello from Russia!!! Very cool video!!!
Спасибо Дмитрий! Вам привет с ужасно жаркого Кипра...
great vid! I'm gonna be free diving/spearfishing in Belize next month! every time I free dive, I can't go past a certain feet limit because my ears start hurting! Any advice to how yo overcome this challenge so I can dive deeper?
Google ' ear equalization'. Its a simple trick that will save your ears :)
Wow!! I am glade you found your gun!! and Anvar you gotta tell me what camera are you using man? Please! the clip is amazing! nice sharp and clear!
Thanks Ayman,
I was also glad to find the baby Uru. The cam in the water was a GoPro Hero3+ Black, post production work in After Effects ;)
good work man!! :D
Awesome vid as always Anvar! But, dude, what was that @ 4:58 -> 5:18, a "Groupers Unite" conference or what, I've never seen so many groupers together!
grande video :)
Tesekkurler :)
What guns are you using here?
I love your videos, why are you not uploading more often
yeah !
its 'Hell yeah!' :)
I like you thinking continue spearfishing on cypruss 😉😉
AND RELAXATION
what speargun do you recommend?
A roller or a pneumovacuum gun. But the gun should reflect your needs. Browse the web, there are tons of sources for decent information ;)
Thanks
HI MR ANVAR I LIKE THE WAY YOU FISHING WITH AND I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TACTIC I CAN USE TO IMPROVE MY LUNGS CAPACITY...
Hi Spahi!
Lung capacity doesnt usually increase after a certain age, so dont bother. But, you can always work on your technique. Check out the Deep Spearfishing Encyclopedia, it has much more about it :)
Thanks a lot Mr anvar
And my best wiches to you...
прозрак просто космический
Анвар, как всегда, отличное видео! Слова полны мудрости. Очень понравилось!
Я живу во Флориде, на острове Key West. У нас второй по величине коралловый риф в мире. Google "Spearfishing Key West". Если ты когда-нибудь захочешь здесь понырять, прилетай в гости. Жильё обеспечу.
Плюс, Багамы тут совсем рядом тоже находятся. Можно и туда слетать.
Спасибо за видео! Продолжай в том же духе!
Спасибо за приглашение, Денис!
Я был в Майами много лет назад, году в 2008, но на тот момент даже не догадывался, что под поверхностью моря может находиться целый мир :) А уже позже, на Кипре, снесло голову по поводу подводной охоты.
Мне кажется у вас рыбы больше, поэтому менее интересно :) Здесь, блин, можно за целый день так ничего и не увидеть... И каждая рыба, на вес золота :)
Но было бы здорово вместе понырять в Океане :)
Видео супер.
Spasibo :)
So the uruk is a she,never occured to me to set a gender on my gun.
Very nice footage.
Respect.
Of course its a 'her'. She was sexy, with a bitchy character, but once we got to know each other - she became a very very close friend :)
Анвар, Вы не боитесь акул?
ЧЕМ БОЛЬШЕ ОХОТИШЬСЯ ТЕМ МЕНЬШЕ ВЫСТРЕЛОВ И ИНТЕРЕСНЕЕ НАХОДИТЬ НОВЫЕ МЕСТА, НЕ ПОНИМАЮ ТЕХ КОТОРЫЕ ВЫБИВАЮТ РЫБУ ПОЛНОСТЬЮ, НУ ВОЗЬМИ ПОЕСТЬ И ХВАТИТ, НЕТ НУЖНО ПАРУ МЕШКОВ НАБИТЬ!
Simply amazing. You inspire me. What is ur lung capacity?
👍
Как там ваш групер, ещё жив?)))
Καλα έριξες στο μαγιατικο και δε περίμενες τις συναγριδες........?
Yeni video bekliyoruz :)
