INSANE blue water in Zakynthos, Spearfishing least remote island ever

  • čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
  • The shipwreck beach in Zakynthos (Greece) is one of those postcard places that actually lived up to the hype. Stunningly beautiful but in August, absolutely swarmed with people. We knew spearfishing here was going to be a huge challenge as it was peak season, the Mediterranean and full of tourists just like us. This was our last Mediterranean spearfishing destination on the sabbatical so we sent it off with the best catch, clean & cook that we've ever done. Next we're off to Finland, New Zealand and Australia!
    A big thank you to Dimos from spearfishing life for his tips on diving this island. Check out his channel and help him get to 100K subs!

    Absolutely loved the Mediterranean series, the thumbnails were on point too! Can't wait to see the comp video, it's been way too long since you last competed 😂 The grilled amberjack looked amazing, does it taste similar to kingy?

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  Před rokem +1

      Thanks Ethan! It was a fun competition but as usual very competitive with the big European nationals involved.
      Similar to kingfish but I’d say a finer grain on it and very delicious. In saying that I’ve not shot many 6kg kingfish so probably an unfair comparison to a 15kg kingfish!

    Congrats on catchin the greek meet. I heard that it it very tough to fish down there cause of too clear water. I see at your video that u can see the bottom on 30 meters and more. Fish must be smart out there. Out here in adriatic sea when its clear like that... The fish burns out before u see it 🤣. Luv to see your videos Daniel. Stay safe and good luck on the championship 💪😁

    Dan I sailed around Greece for 3 months this summer... Not much fish over there in reachable depths... Although I did get tons of lion fish, everyone I made them try were left stunned! Such a great fish but so bad for the environment... Win win! Greece is overly visited which makes fishing difficult and very often dangerous...

A few bubbles coming back to the boat, mask fins and a light weight belt I got down to the 10m mark grabbed the guides spare reg and we went for a 20 min cruise lol
    She was look for me around the boat....then was even more gurmpy when I came back as she was worried lol

    @muratmustafa4532 Před rokem

    Very nice video. Flashlight is a must in Med. Sea. if you will be going after those groupers. Just one tip, when they "rush" into their caves do not follow them as you will have little no chance to see them in there even with a flashlight. When they "rush" in they tend to deep in their caves. If they calmly "cruise" in, there is a chance that they will not go deep, even they hand in the entrance of their cave and sometimes put their heads out from the cave a little to see you. If they "rush" in, just go up, wait 10-20 minutes and dive towards to the cave, there is a good chance you will see it hanging around at the entrance from the cave. Try to approach the cave from back or from somewhere where it can not see you coming.
