  • I was headed to the small European country of Malta for my five year wedding anniversary and got a few dives in. A lot of the country is a marine park which makes shore diving difficult. A beautiful country with some fantastic food & wines. Highly recommended for a visit.

    I used to live in Malta for a few month per year when I was a kid and used to dive seven days a week for octopus and mullet etc, sometimes we saw rays and small sharks after storms and rough seas, we mostly went in by where the famous film studios were near kalkara. Best time of my life!

    Loved the Shark vid. I speared my first Tiger Shark at 12 years old off the coast of Catalina island. I weighed 74 lbs. The shark 128lbs. Fought to keep it from dragging me out to the deep for 45 minutes, b4 finally dragging it to shore. They didn’t have gopros back then, but my friend and 500+ people got to see it. Keep up the Great vids...

  • @jacksongulick206
    @jacksongulick206 Před 5 lety +1

    I noticed on your GoPro there wasn’t a red film with absorption the photos look washed out and it saves time of editing that color back in to buy a red clip on filter. They aren’t too expensive and make it look wayyy better. Just a friendly tip from a diver to the next ( certified last week yay!)

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  Před 5 lety +1

      Difference is freedivers go up and down making surface footage useless with a red filter. You really need a custom white balance to make a big difference.

    Nice video buddy, but next time you go there travel to Gozo, our neighbouring island and visit these places Dwejra and Dahlet Qorrot, in Malta, go to L-Ahrax tal-Mellieha, Fomm ir-Rih and Xghajra, trust me you can catch a blue shark, tuna and thresher sharks too if you are lucky and only after 5am and after 5pm, best times, also you will see loads of octopus running around coming out for food, and if you like Moray u are in Moray Paradise. Best of luck.

    I love your videos, but if I could make one small suggestion? I'd love to hear what you hear when you're underwater, without the background music. I dive as much as I can, but with kids/career it's becoming less common! I love the sound of the bubbles, and the muted tones that make you feel alive in the water. It's just a suggestion. If you do have videos that don't have backing music, I'd love to watch them! Keep fishing.

    It looks like there are no fish in the Med, except tiny panfish and bait. It’s been the cradle of life for millennia, but seems fished out! You married well...a cutie who lets you spearfish on your anniversary! Well done!

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  Před 5 lety +1

      It’s definitely overfished but still some big fish in there to be had for sure. I just don’t have the skills yet to get them.

  • @martinzammit6848
    @martinzammit6848 Před 4 lety

    Daniel, don't feel bad about not catching much in the Med. Unfortunately it's a very overfished body of water. Particularly Malta. Also, locals are highly protective of their good fishing spots so will never point you in the right direction. For them a large Grouper means a good bit of money when sold to the restaurants. This counts for Italy as well as Malta. So when there just take it as it comes and enjoy it.

      @joolbag Před 5 lety

      Daniel Mann funny thing that cycling legs only are good for cycling! That said, everytime I watch one of your Vida I get keen for a di and these days it's about getting a feed for the kids and teaching them where their food comes from. Don't get the time to chase big fish for week-long trips at a time anymore. It's getting warm here, so the answer is YES!

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  Před 5 lety

      My brother cycles a lot and when he dives he seems to swim damn fast. I’m also getting a bit more mellow on killing everything and focusing on a feed. Went diving on the weekend and didn’t pull the trigger despite seeing lots of eating fish, just wanted to cook crispy skin sea bass. Next time eh.

    Come back to Brisbane. Got a boat and would be stoked to take you for a shoot. Upcoming Whitsunday trip and there's a spot with your name if you want it.

      Of course, that’s why I bothered to cook it 🙄

      Clearly you only cooked it to stop the smell abit when you throw it away and to torture it's corpse
