Free diving in the elephant cave at Crete. The participants in the following video are all lifeguards of which 2 of them are professional. All of the 3 person appeared in the video including myself entering the cave, are freediving instructors in multiple organisations and 3 of them are also mermaiding instructors. We have planned the dive carefully before and trained on the distances, having all the necessary safety and first aid equipment with us on the bouy and at our boats. We have had the backup of 2 different individual diving center crews that were that moment on the site if needed.

      Δεν υπάρχουν λόγια να σου εξηγήσω πόσο καλό είναι αυτό το όπλο.Όσο αφορά την προκειμένη περίπτωση, το είχα στη μισή δύναμη οπλισμένο και ενώ τον πέτυχα στη ράχη πίσω από το κεφάλι, δεν το διαπέρασε το καρχαριάκι για να ασφαλίσει το ψάρι και έτσι αυτό κόντραρε σε μια σπηλιά κάτω δεξιά και απλά αφαίρεσε τη βέργα από πάνω του και έφυγε με ένα σημάδι που θα έχει για όλη του τη ζωή.TATOO

    I wonder why I have to say this to you, as you're an instructor. *Everything you point your gun at DIES!* Never point it at something you don't intend to kill. I know you just wanted to film that turtle, but having your camera mounted to your gun is not a valid excuse. Even having it unloaded is not an excuse. It's a weapon, treat it like that.

    • @gerasimosvrakas9026
      @gerasimosvrakas9026 Před 3 lety

      Thank you but there is no other way to shoot a video except of using my cam mounted on my speargun.Guns also don't shoot by themselves so don't worry,i never have and would never had killed something that it is not to put on the table for my family. Also it s not true that everything i point my gun at,dies. Speargun fishers choose what to kill and also i have several miss shots. I know it looks kind of awkward thought to point a gun on such a beautifull and magnificent animal,i will give you that.😉 And thanks for commenting on one of my videos.
