- Spearfishing with sharks. They are both dangerous and infuriating, but indisputably fascinating to be with in the water. Adreno's Trevor Ketchion retells some of his experiences with tiger sharks, great whites and bull sharks, and shares some tips on how to handle sharks when spearfishing.
As you would imagine, interactions with sharks when spearfishing can be an interesting experience, as Trevor explains through his encounters with three very different sharks on one exciting day off the sunshine coast. It’s important that you know what to do when placed in these situations so that you, your dive buddies and the shark can all keep hunting.
Some basic things that we can take away from the tips shared gained through experience from our veteran spearo Trevor are firstly to have a dive buddy with you. This allows you to watch each other’s backs when spearing so you can continue to hunt even in relatively sharkey conditions. Let the shark know that you could be a threat. This means keeping eye contact, staying calm and maybe giving them a solid poke with your spear if they get a little too close for comfort. When diving in dirty water with bull sharks chances are they are going to be a little more boisterous. In this situation, it’s probably best not to stretch your luck too far.
Thanks to Trevor Ketchion for supplying all GoPro footage and for sharing his insight on such a contentious topic, check out his spearfishing page here: / submergedpsychos
“Our fourth shark encounter of the day..” After almost getting bit by a tiger.. I’ll never spearfish In Australia. Y’all are crazy. Respect.
He got back into it damn quick after that tiger!
Sharks aren’t restricted to Australia mate. You’ll find, they are everywhere.
We are a crazy bunch though; but the real crazies are the people spearfishing in South Africa. I wouldn’t even go in knee high water there.
TrippyNipples69 100% agree, fuck spearing in South Africa!
In our side human eat the shark not shark eat human 😷
@@TrippyNipples69 Why? If they are "everywhere" then what's the difference?
Aussie, 40 years spearfishing experience. Live in Hawaii - Everything this young man says is true. May I also say, once you lift a fish out of the water on your spear, the sharks leave immediately. Sharks always want your fish, not you. ;) Thank you for providing this information. Well done.
How about white tip reef shark keep following me intersted in me instead my fish on the line of my floatbuoy.... iv got anxiety and so scare man.. im pretty sure he wanted to bite me attack me i kept my distance . The shark 1 meter from my spear 😭. Iv got trauma
@@santaisinihostel9330 I would have trauma too lmao
4:42 Good Explanation! Thank you for sharing that with people. And Yes bull sharks in clear water VS dirty water, very true! Also the tiger charged at you because all your focus was swimming up fast to get air, no eye contact so the tiger saw that and “made its move” and very lucky you looked down at the right moment!!! Great opinions, we need more well rounded minds like yours for sharks!!
Для акул, надо тупой гарпун без флажка. Получит между глаз, агрессия пройдёт.))
“ and it’s as simple as that”
quarantine drinking game, every time he says...
simp,e as that...lol
it is much better knowledgeably than any documentary I ever watched,, thank you please make some more
Right? Great knowledge.
I hate people who pretend sharks are harmless. Of course many are docile with humans, and of course they're not "evil" or something silly like that. But they are hungry predators looking for food. They are "just curious" as some people say, but when their curiosity leads to a bite, it's wise to be careful. And if they think they can safely indulge their curiosity, that's bad news for you.
yeah man totally safe to chum and spearfish with pointers and tigers around. This guy is very lucky and a total dick lol
I love how the white shark shruggs off the poke like it never happened 😂🤣🦈
White sharks are one shark that doesnt give a fuck lol If that was a white that charged him instead of the tiger he poked away he would have been killed or a cripple
It knew he was bluffing
The dog analogy is great. When I was travelling out east I happened upon a group of “street dogs” that immediately began growling and coming my way. As soon as they did, my fight or flight response kicked in and I ran towards them with my arms straight out to the sides. All 4 dogs immediately went from aggressive to spooked and they scattered!!!
A lot of aggressive predators get spooked when you stare at them directly in the eyes maintaining the eye contact. It's because in nature, a predator fixes his gaze on prey (a prey would run away), therefore if you hold eye contact, you look like a predator out to hunt yourself.
0:44 filming the vid and serving customers too, legends
Great video!
Had my first encounter with a white shark checking me out. Probably did everything wrong.
Spearing alone, spearing late in the evening, had some fish on line, swam away in a panic. Glad the water was clear that's for sure!
I love how hes talking all professional but at one point you can hear a muffled "what. the ddâUCK" 😂😂lmao I love that so much!
The explanation on their behaviour in this video is superb.
I have 50yrs experience in the water as a recreational and professional diver, and the only shark that really scares me is the one you cannot see. They are way overrated as a risk factor except in dirty water which scares the crap out of me due to the prevalence of bull sharks in our area. They are aggressive and unpredictable. The Gulf of Carpentaria, the most hostile environment that I’ve ever worked in, is another scary place. There, research diving is a ‘one-person down to the bottom and back into the boat’ exercise.
Sharks are (mostly) opportunistic, unlike crocodiles that are ambush predators and just want to eat you. I have studied both and the latter, whilst very cautious, are sneaky and bold and unforgiving. I prefer sharks as they are much more predictable and can generally be scared off.
A great explanation of shark psychology that I read was:
Vertical = Prey
Horizontal = Other
Generally it’s on the way up that one gets hassled, i.e. when we = food
Taking out the top predators, whether on land or sea, really stuffs up the food chain and causes the herbivores to take over to the detriment of the whole ecosystem. That is one of the reasons why sharks are protected here in Australia, and why wolves have been reintroduced into some American national parks.
A few years back we had a young rower in a surf boat competition hit by something in big surf. Being fit he had little fat, and when he drowned he sank and then was carried along the bottom for 20 kms up the coast and into a protected waterway before he floated to the surface. Plenty of sharks along the route and a lot of opportunity for being nibbled on, but no bites. Nope, none.
Another reason for them wanting to eat us is that they are hungry, maybe because we are taking their food. Bummer that we are in their environment, and we then play by nature’s rules.
hey mate,how do you move through water with balls so big???
amazing video!
hope i get a chance to swimm with sharks one day.
greetings from Croatia...
They actually help him sink without creating any disturbance. Who needs a weight belt?
Well, this video taught me that my Adriatic/ Ionian/ Aegean sea spearfishing is but a child's play.
Worst danger out here is encountering a pissed off moray when you least expect it.
Zoran Čikotić Croatia is not a real country brate.
AlphaArcticWolf if ur country/ocean place is child’s play then our sea is some toddler play cause I’ve never caught a fish bigger than my arm and never seen one underwater that’s so huge
That was a bloody close call with that tiger jeez
So.. don’t poke the bear but poke the shark. Got it.
Don't poke the beer. Fucking drink it.
hug the bear and poke the shark with ur finger, that's the way to do it mate.
Please don’t poke sharks. It is completely unnecessary and all you have to do is manually redirect them. This man is not educated and needs to learn how to respect the ocean.

*Dives with sharks once, now a shark behavior expert...
I think I’m going to go with Trevor’s advice who is an actual expert with countless aggressive shark encounters and many years of experience. But that’s just me, and I value my limbs. As he said poking the shark does not harm the shark it establishes that you are not an easy prey item.
Alexandria N. Fall lol ok let’s see how well redirecting goes when u see a 10 ft tiger trying to bite you. At that point you’re not worried about the shark because it’s going to be fine a poke won’t hurt it, you’re biggest concern is your own safety
Great video, really enjoyed that.
Just as much i enjoy your vids mate
Most nuanced video on sharks I've seen. Much appreciated.
This taught me so much more about shark behavior then any documentary has thank you!
This is the first intelligent post about shark lately. So many armchair experts that want to convince you that they're misunderstood matron saints, and others claiming that they're cull-worthy demons. This guy, experienced spear fisherman: you're either a threat, or food; simple. I've been on my share of spear fishing trips as a diver, and am a crappy surfer, and have weighed the odds and risks...I do neither any more, especially in "sharky" conditions.
I couldnt have heard it better from anyone! Finally someone that actually understands the real threat to sharks! You have my subscription
Awesome clip and great knowledge on sharks! I had a run in with a pointer on one dive, luckily there were three of us close together so it came and had a good close look but eventually must have decided we were a threat, just how you described. On another dive I had a dugong slam into me so hard that it broke my speargun and gave me a big bruise. Respect for the ocean creatures!
That tiger was just trying to give you a boost to the surface😂
Best summary of Human-Shark relationship i've seen on here, nice and simple whilst giving a really informative all round picture. Excellent!
All the lads down at Adreno seem like really nice and very experienced people. This video was absolutely fantastic and so informative. I don't think he was reading off a script so it really is that much more impressive. Thank you!
Also, gigantic pendulous testicles on this man.
Diver for over 40 years with lots of shark encounters, this is a really great on point video mate thanks for your work.
Wanting to give a big thank you from Hawaii for sharing your knowledge and encounters with sharks. Also loved how you ended it with sharing the nature of sharks and how we as humans should respect them
Great info!! Thank you from California!
Totally agree with the bull shark theory in clean water swim right by you no troubles murky water no such luck pretty much chase you until you get out
Great work mate ! I was coming into a beach once after spearing on a reef and it was near dusk and a hugest shark in three feet of water passed in front of me, I was totally unaware but he was probabely watching me the whole time spearing just thought he'd let me know who was boss and it wasn't me that's for sure
Your video work is great buddy you are the gun.
"You really want to have the sharks thinking that you can hurt them. You can't -- it's a bluff." 🤣
Most sensible shark behaviour explanation I'v seen-heard. Totally agree!
"shark attacks that are actual attacks are not often recorded as real shark attacks, they're just people who are assumed drowned and missing." Daaaaaaaayum!! I have been watching shark content for decades and you're the very first person to say that. But it DOES make sense.
Great video, learned more from you in these few minutes than in the hours of drama „documentary“ footage that is out there from the big names!!
👏 Thank you for being 100% honest with no hysteria.
I don’t have as much experience as someone like yourself but I find everything you said to be very accurate.
A poke with a fishing rod tip does the same thing as well.
Informative, heroic and honest. Thanks mate :)
That is some awesome footage of the "tax man". These are the sort of videos which need main stream attention.
Well done!
Thanks for a very informative and a well-put together video!
One of the best videos ..👍
Really interesting video man. Nothing like passing knowledge through sharing experience!
This actually makes a lot of sense thank you !
this man did in 9 minutes what the discovery channel couldnt do in a whole week.. good info mate
One of the best demonstrations on yourube, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Australian heart. It’s somethin. I like making myself “harder to eat”. Great video
great info! Thank you!
Brilliant - just great well presented and fantastic footage.
man spearfishing seams like riding a motorcycle to me, it looks/feels amazing, has great benefits to doing it, but you may get mauled (by a sedan or a shark)... i think i will stick to my steal cage of a car, and a rod&reel but cool video.
Elijah That’s false like he said in the video the true numbers of fatal shark attacks are unknown because a lot of people are killed and thought to have drowned. Plus there’s a lot more people who ride motorcycles than spearfish or spend a lot of time in the ocean
There's a rush you get entering the ocean with predators and prey that you just cant get with fishing. You definitely feel alive
@Elijah lot less people in the ocean around sharks than there is riding motorbikes on average in a year. "more likely to die in your own home than on a roller-coaster" because you spend significantly more time in your home 😂😂
Such a good video mate, good infos!
El mejor vídeo que he visto sobre cómo comportarte frente a los tiburones, en especial durante la pesca submarina. Buen vídeo y gracias por compartir tu experiencia y conocimiento.
Finally, someone honest about sharks
Awesome info, well presented. Thanks m8! Peace from Canada.
Great vid, have had a bit of trouble with sharks recently, especially bulls. Might give the double diver trick a try. Thanks!!!
Gotta love ya man!! Balls of steel!!
Great knowledge articulated in a precise manner to process
Gosh darn dawg! Great footage and great info about the sharks!
Thanks for the advice on the new speargun we purchased from your store Trevor . Great movie too.
Amazing video! Love hearing these stories.
Best Shark education video ever!
Interesting, I’ve done a little with sharks in the Coral Sea, spearing fish was my go to, to start the Shark Feed in an area we didn’t normally do it! Once they went into frenzy mode, they’d only stop once everything that could possibly be food was gone! Always arranged it so the reef had our backs and there was normally a minimum of 6, and on scuba. Larger sharks never came in until it was all over and most were back on board. By larger I mean silver tipped whalers, I never really saw them up close. Thanks for sharing and live on.
so helpful thanks
Great video... makes perfect sense.
could you do a video on the shark shield and what you think of it
Cool overview! Thanks for sharing.
very good info ! I'm on the same lines as you !!!! respect !
great informative well presented video.
well done and thanks
What a great informative video Trevor
“Awlroyt. they some shahks doyn theyah”
Humans: oh well. Nice day on the boat anyway.
These guys : better dive in pairs.
Its not "Doyn theyah" it's "down're"
It rhymes with they're and we're.
Example;
Where are they?
They're down're.
Thank you for spreading some good knowledge about sharks. When you dont have hands to investigate what something is, you use your mouth, bigger sharks bigger mouth, even if its just to see what you are. Sharks arent here to hunt us down, the same way a mountain lion doesnt stalk you the moment you see it. Its not their fault its the mechanisms they were given to survive
Thanks
As a matter of fact... That was a very good video! It cover perfectly the title! Keep it up!
Top content, thanks very much
Really great explantions and Videos. I am getting into this sport, cause I sail around the World starting in 2 Month. I was always so afraid just thinking to go into the water. Now I am getting into spearfishing because you took many of my fears away. I will need food and I must relay on fish too. Thanks for all the good you do.
Great video mate!!!!!!!
Fearless. Aus is on a different level
Thanks for saying the truth “most shark attacks aren’t recorded as actual attacks, they’re just reported as presumed drowned or missing” 100% true, every coastal authority is very hesitant to label an incident as a shark attack because it brings scrutiny and hurts local revenue.
That is a seriously good mindset. Who agrees ?
Thanks for sharing another great video👌🏽
Thank you very much for this video. It helps to respect the sharks the ocean and know how to behave video really helps
Honestly enjoyed this video alot, can't say I wanna get into the water with a big shark let alone a bunch of them but the information was helpful
subbed, awesome video! thanks for the info
Very cool video, thank you so much 😊
I'm 63 and still doing a bit of diving.....you hit the nail on the head... great info for young divers, i still prefer to wear a shark shield now, but i do miss my old 303 smokey or power head witch you never see these days on you tube clips
Power heads are illegal in Australia, so you won’t see them on videos filmed here
I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t invest in an Ocean guardian freedom 7 (shark shield) if you freedive/scuba. Why don’t we see more footage from everyone on this?
great vid mate
A VERY GOOD LESSON THANX
Thank you..
Great video!
Fantastic comments, thanks for taking the time.
You did a wonderful job of explaining what you experience. I'm a spearfishing expert in Florida . That sounds like normal behavior. Stay safe and enjoy your time in the ocean.
Wow this is crazy bro. Good luck out there.
Really great video!!
Great article.
Good video - It’s as simple as that.
Accepting you don't know everything about sharks is an edge you need to keep.
Thank you
When you poked that great white she didn’t even flinch 🤣
Unfortunately, Sharks, unlike us, don't have hands and fingers and the best way for them to test whether you are food or not is to bite you... LOL this made me laugh so hard
Started spearfishing at the age of 8 in the Florida Keys. Dove alone 95% of the time . Only had problems when other divers (primarily scuba divers) were around and they were toting along strings of bloody fish. I always speared fish.....took them straight to the surface.......then straight to the boat (or shore).
Did have a friend lose her leg to a bull shark in 10 foot of murky water. I compare bull sharks to those pesky dogs that chase you down the street while riding your bike etc. You must be vigilant about constantly surveying what's in your vicinity. Having dove for so long I could usually sense the presence of sharks........but they can come out of nowhere at blistering speeds .
HAPPY HUNTING MATES
Robert Manley
Omg haha crazy!
@Saleh Alkhulifi no problem. I could write a book on my experiences. I love the ocean.....its my solace. Simply put.....there is always risks when you enter the ocean....no matter how prepared or experienced you are. Of course....if you dive beyond the realm of common sense....you increase the risk of subtracting yourself from the lives of those who love and care for you. If you ever feel uncomfortable about something.....it may be best not to attempt it....at least not until you've gained the experience and knowledge to guide you.
Enjoy enjoying life....and don't forget to share.
@@robertmanley3472 do you know something !? Man I am really happy to see you reply 😍 , I thoght you dead man !! Why takeing all this time to respond !? Any way thank you so much , happy Ramadan
@@salehsaeh8104 same to you my friend. I immensely appreciate your kind words. They go a long way with me...i assure you.
Thank you !
Robert Manley great read brother, I’ve just begun spearfishing here in Japan but I’m originally from land down under, only here in japan for a couple more months, and after all these shark videos I’m lowkey scared to go spearfishing back in Australia lol
great video by reall professional
Best advise out there!!!
awesome video! May I ask where it is that you dove that day and saw all these sharks?
I can't take Trev seriously, hahaha. Funny guy 🤣🤣
And this video, was as simple as that!
// Very Good Apex ; Thankyou 'n' all Best
