In this video the Hottie and I try a new spot to go spearfishing. We ignore our instincts to turn around and end up getting caught in some dangerous currents!

Man this gave me a while of anxiety, I know the feeling u guys was having it's terrible!!! You Guys Are very strong both mentally and physically
💚🤙🏽🤙🏽
I’m so glad y’all are okay. Can’t express how important you staying calm helped the situation brother, amazing job. Both of you👍🏼
Thanks mayne! I appreciate that! She’s definitely a trooper!
I really agree. You really kept it together and helped her out. I know she was mad after, but I hope later she appreciates how much better you handled that than many people would. Once in awhile things get real, that's when you find out what people are made of.
Glad u guys made um out safe 🙏🏾🙏🏾. I jus had my worst diving incident last month. Worst thing was my gut feeling said don’t go out. Me being hard head nah can we go. Frkn paddling out timing the waves frkn set came when the wave breaks here u don’t want to be there n i was there took it on the head washing machine can’t see 4 more waves after that. I literally had to eject my weight belt to make it to the surface. Couldn’t move was jus swirling same spot. I jus kept calm no fight um jus go with the flow. Finally made um back in to shore dat was da best feeling in my life to reach da sand mahalo ke akua laid there for half hour 🤣🤣. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Hhooouu bruddah!! Sounds super intense! Ditching the belt when needed is definitely a skill in its own. No one does it when they should have.. Stoked your disciplined enough to do it! Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽
Glad you guys came out safely and no one got hurt. I was born and raised diving in these areas. Few of my cousins drowned near here. We would go there even on some of the nicest days and the current would yank. When would yank we would head down to pepe chute kaalualu bay and come in. Might seem far but no need fight current. Come in the bay safely. Saved a few people out there. Dive safe . Aloha ke akua.
Sorry to hear that bro.. Thank you for that tip I appreciate you
She had a great time with all the smiles. How can she be mad at you, you saved her life🤣. Glad you both are safe. I’m sure you learned a lot from the experience 😊
We sure did!! 😂
This was super dangerous. Good thing you were keeping her calm throughout the whole time and you guys made it back safe!
Yeah main thing! That was pretty scary haha
Good work with the calm instruction--you managed the situation well. I also agree with you on how taking a drop can really calm you down.
Diving always clears the mind 💚
Bahaahaaha that wasn't me she's talking about. What a great sense of humor you both have. I'm sure it was scary. You two did extremely well to think before acting. Acting with no thought during panic can cause you to make the wrong choices.
this was a great video, shows the true side to diving from shore and how nuts hawaii waters truly are and not just anyone can hit it. scary yes but this made her a better diver. good job hiding your panic to keep your wahine calmer then it could have gotten if she seen your panic.
Yeah for sure! We got into another situation that was kinda nawts and I remained super calm this time and it helped her feel a lot safer 🔥
Cheers for sharing the video, tough gig, glad you are both OK. Things can go bad so quick in current and rising seas. Cheers for sharing the video, Dive Safe! 🤙🙌
Yesssah thanks for checking it out bro bro 💚🤙🏽
Braddah.. that wuz intense!.. I need for burn one to relax now.. bad conditions almost dying and you still chuckin🔨🔨🔨🔨
Lol once it’s done gotta laugh about it 😅
Gotta burn oneeee he tell lol
Damn dude. That looked crazy. Without a doubt you feel the danger and having another person with you only intensifies it. Glad you both ended up safe
Yeah that was a scary one
I know how it is bradduh. Small kid time spear fishing on Kaua'i. Current took me out beyond the reef. Almost got in a panic mode. Just by the length of a Hawaiian sling saved me. You guys are pros. Never panicked
It can get scary real fast out there. Glad you made it back safely. We learned a lot from this experience and it never happened again to us 🤙🏽
Love hearing the whales. Awesome background noise.
They were super close but got saw any
Scary stuff, your partner was very brave not to panic to much.
She’s a trooper for sure haha 🤙🏽🤙🏽
great job on staying calm, going back to basics, “taking a drop” 🤙🏽 nice braddah
Thanks mayne appreciate that 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Best part of this is you guys will be prepared next time. Lost my boat couple times and had to swim farrrrrrrr lol. Definitely allowed me to think calmly and stay positive
Sure will lol! Dam that sounds nawts!
Best advice when I’m diving with others not as strong, which really makes a difference and that is “ relax don’t panic stay calm “ as long as you control yourself u can think better and less stress on the mind and body. The body already getting a work out,no use making the mind too lol, panic decisions more than likely get you Into more trouble
That’s great advice thanks! It’s all about staying calm for sure 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I know the feeling bro. Conditions look good from far but far from good when your out in the water. You give good instructions to your girl. Stay solid.
Thanks bro I appreciate that. Definitely learned a lot from this dive 😂🤙🏽
I was literally reading about Hawaii currents yesterday glad u guys are ok, wow thank you
Thanks mayne 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wow! Had to watch it again! Thankful you guys made it back to the shore alive!
Main thing! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽
Haha you guys are crazy, love it, glad you’re ok
Good times and bad times 😂
Ride DAT float!!! 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 Use that three prong like a ski pole.... And jus keeeeeep swimming, lol
Good job on keeping her calm! That's how people drown by panicking....
Yup I always stand by that when diving, keep calm assess then move safely….seen a lot of tourist get hurt because they panic and first thing they do is rush to shore not knowing they going get smashed by waves 🌊 rather swim out and wait then to get smashed thinking that’s the safest route while panicking
I never thought of riding the float lol. That’s a really good idea 🤙🏽🤙🏽
🙌🔥🙌
@@hawaiihammahs I think that may have been a trick Spencer showed me long time ago.... Mighta been Kaui... Not sure... But da Buggah WORK!!! lol
lol "can we hold hands."
🙌😂🙌
So happy you got out from that trap, man it's so scary it happened to me, But the most importantly is that you still remained calm, you're a Pro, be safe brother
Thanks mayne appreciate that 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wow...That was scary your girlfriend was terrified thank goodness you were a comb and understanding. You are truly an awesome diving partner. Good job!
Awww thanks Geri 🤙🏽🤙🏽
so just a precaution when in heavy current/waves, please unload your bands before advancing back to shore. glad you guys made it out and back to shore. there are places like this where the waves and current are scary but when you make it out it's way more calm than the inside. sometimes planning your dive before your hunt is important and will help with certain fear triggers/factors. like when I was diving with some of the locals in Molokai we would hop into a shallow bay that was rocky and wavy up front and wants we pass the drop off the current just shoots you out into some deep water before taking you back into a bay miles from starting point but once there the spot is chill. idk who taught them that but I use that method In certain places in Oahu, but the walk back is the worst part unless you have some one pick you up. I'm pretty sure you know quite a bit about diving and it's always great to get a reminder of the basics of oceanic hunting. you did an awesome job staying calm in uncharted grounds, take your dives one step ahead by observing the currents and accept that there will be a drift factor going out or even coming in. stay safe bradah, keep calm and swim on cheee🤙🏾
🙌❤️🔥🙌
Love that area! I only dive the bay. Even there get tricky currents. Stay safe!
🌊🤿🤙🏽
amazing video brother
🙌💚🙌
Glad u guys got out safely really appreciate you guys keeping the spots a secret one of my favorite places on the big island not too many left for us locals 👍🤙
Love this spot but not for diving for us lol
That bay catches the south and the southeast once you get around the first main reef on the left. The Bluewater out there is really hard because you need to tread water just to battle the gnarly current
Yeah no kidding lol 🤙🏽
Brah great video. Good catch. N good experience .
It was definitely an experience for sure 🤙🏽
If I could offer a tip, put a wine bottle cork on the tip of your spear for when you're swimming out to your spot. You may think you have your gun under control but in conditions like that you could very easily get spiked.
Good point
Haha, Im the same way with my girl. Hands up to you bro. Always checking when you already know what's up. Scary kine stuff out there🤙 crack me up the end. Cheeeeee!!
Cheee thanks mah braddah 🤙🏽🤙🏽
God bless you both. Better to dive there when water is much more calm. Nice to see my old diving grounds 25 yrs ago had way more fish.....aloha keakua
Ahh man I bet! 🙌🔥🙌
Glad you guys made it back safely 🙏🏽 but those whale Sounds are epic omg 🐋🐳😍🥰Sending greetings from 🇯🇲
Those whales sounded so cool! 💚🇯🇲💚
Thats scary man good u manage to go back anyway!! Keep safe!!
Mahalo 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Bro I had an experience with the currents too recently. Your girl is in some of the best hands tin Hawaii!
Bahaha thanks mah braddah 🤙🏽
This is hard to watch. Feel terrible for the woman. She won't forget this dive and she'll hopefully gain a better appreciation for how unforgiving the ocean can be.
She’s a beast now 💪
@@hawaiihammahs tough times make tough people. I dive New England chop all year long so I've been thrashed enough to know. If you ever want to dive Block Island for 50lb striper or go searching holes for tog/lobster hmu!
Honestly you guys is nuts fakas used to throw net all the time over there and I’m just surprised the tax man didn’t come
Lols I was lookin around for them!Usually when I hear the whales that close, they be lurking just around the corner..
Hearing the whales are crazy glad you guys are safe
Yeah interesting day for sure lol
Kinda similar case but way more intense 4 u guyz, once surfing @ Vland Nrth shore Oahu , after some clean out sets couple of us whobwere farther out made it thru but we were now in the Rip current 2 other guyz ( a japanese tourist. & 1 haole guy) we all were no Pros but i told them look where we are do u know whats up because we were so far out from out friends... i told them boys we' re in the rip headin to kaena pt. then to Kauai i told them we stick together obviously cant go against th current but just stroke to shore , Long story short by the time we got thru th Rip & slammed to the shore on rocks we were several miles up the coast but we made it ...... but we had boards if i was swiming i garens would be here , Be Safe gang thanx 4 sharing👊👍🤙
Typo; would not be here, hah
Whoa crazy experience! Glad you guys made it!
@@hawaiihammahs yup Mahalo 4 the response bro. Take Care🤙
Sound of the whales are soooo cool!
💚🐳💚
Yeah you…hammahz foa shua! Scratchin for dry land. Safe! Yessah
🙏🏽🤙🏾🤙🏾
Stoked we made it 😂🤙🏽
I know that spot we stayed exactly the at that same camp. We also attempt swimming out but the current was too strong so we decided not to go on because we were getting pounded by those big waves, it may look small on the camera but they are huge in person. I’m glad you guys made it I know that feeling the best way to overcome that is to not panic, stay calm and focus how you gonna get out of it. Aloha!
Yeah super dangerous spot that’s for sure! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽
So much anxiety. PTSD from dives like this.
Tell me about it 😅
Know the feeling, been in some gnarly stuff with my wife too. Glad yall made it safe. I gotta say i think your a great spearo. I have learned alot from your vids and your technique. Motivates me and reminds me of ways to improve. Im out diving for two more weeks here on kona side. Love to have you join for a sesh. diving 50-80ft BT 1:30-2:00. Me and my wife are diving so could be a fun double. mahalo . austin
Aww man Caitlin is leaving to New York for a couple of weeks and I’m pretty strapped rn but that sounds like it would of been pretty fun haha!
Hey Austin, long shot but I have a full day blue water charter in Kona tomorrow if you want to join. It’s just me right now.
@@hawaiihammahs no worries. hit me up if you change you mind. after this i got smashed up in some rocks north of airport. wife lost fins and my gun. somehow i managed to dive and retrieve all gear. lol . Some days the wins arent fish i guess. aloha
@@reelmansaltwater dang jeremy i just dove 4 days straight and was maxed out today or i would....give me a holler tho and we can chat about it. i got a day planned for 6/3. ill see if i can find a way to dm you
Ima shallow water diver, but I had a similar incident at a spot near that camping spot you was at. We ended up at the breakers and got stuck right there. Couldn't paddle back in. My partner and I was stuck and getting tired. I was going to ditch my weight belt and all but jumped on my buoy instead. We eventually made it back but 💩 my pants couple times. Good learning video on judging conditions and knowing the level of your partner.
Respek👊🏽
I know the feeling lol! Seems like a lot of people have some scary experiences at this spot! Thanks for sharing bro 🤙🏽
Good episode
🙌🔥🙌
Life-changer for both of you. Been there before with fam. "Make one bond strongah fo eachuddah."
For realzzzz haha 🙌🔥🙌
Great job in talking that is a very important thing to do is stay calm. awesome job.
Thanks! It was a crazy scary situation
She’s right though. Reality, you told her that it was a good condition to dive and she trusted you. I’m guessing you are more experienced diver in the group, which means, you have her life in your hands, but vice versa you need to trust her that she can save you. That’s how buddy system works. Sometimes beginners don’t know enough but to trust that it’s okay to go out with their skill level. I surf but if my kid or wife wanted to surf in dangerous conditions, I would know not to take them out in those kind of days and say “no”. It’s a learning curve “yes” but free diving, you may only get couple of mistakes until something bad happens. You need to embrace that your girl can still be mad at you today. For now, maybe dive area suited for her skill level until she skill up to your level. Reading waves and current is hard but needed. Just glad you’re both alright. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah that’s a good point for sure! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I've been in whitewash with under current like that before!! it's not a good experience at all like a washing machine the wave will push you into the rocks while getting sucked back out like someone turned the vacume on, then under current will knock you off your feet 😅😭
Hahaha “that’s how u gonna talk to me” I can picture my chick saying that too all in the middle of u tryna make sure her safety is priority😂 nah u did good braddah hers and your safety is priority over anything good job staying calm n handling the situation like a champion sketchy conditions!
Lols thanks mah bruddah 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Been there done that while diving norcal. I am not sure how you know your limit unless you push it. I made my mistakes and now I know where my limit is at the moment after surviving a few scary moment. Glad you and your girlfriend is safe. Yea, about gopro. It always looks calmer on gopro. I always wondered whether i was more scared or the gopro doesn't do the justice.
💯! I was surprised how small the waves looked on the footage compared to real life lol
I’ll give you credit braddah. Taking da wahine to a spot like that.🫣 Brah when pau dive a session like that and you can’t find yo slippah. Then have the slightest notion that maybe wind blew it away 😂. If the winds are that strong to blow slippah’s away there’s no way I’d chance dat spot. Let alone the prehistoric size manager’s I’ve heard about that lurk out there 😆. Hard pass not even with one boat major sea sickness. Glad you guys got back safely 🤙🏽
Yeah F that spot 😂😂
Great my friend, greetings are always healthy, Batam island Indonesia 🇮🇩
💚🤙🏽
Great safety brief before heading back in
💚🤙🏽
Even professionals die that side of the island, jet ski or boat as back up is a must
Yeah no kidding!
Glad you two are ok. Heavy situation for a minute there.
Yeah it got pretty hectic for sure lol
Come dive oahu! I’ll
Show you some spots! Not as much as big island but get fish.
Be safe my friends
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Eyyy🔥
🙌🔥🙌
The whales are amazing!!
I am really wondering how your fins were doing after that dive. 🙁 I am really impressed how you handled that situation. Safe diving bro. God bless
Fins came out okay. Thanks for the kind words 💚
Crazy whale sounds🎉
🐳💨🐟
Well I reckon that's and a awesome and good work against the current with empty hands no fish 😅
Definitely a time to remember haha
what a team!
Dream team bb
Just keep swiming...just keep swimming just keep swimming swimming...🤙🏽
Bahaha that’s what I was thinking when I was editing that part. Was gonna have Dori pop up lol
Thanks to both of you for sharing this. I'm new to spearfishing, so it is good to see someome willing to share some mistakes so that others can learn.
Live and learn haha 🤙🏽🤙🏽
The beach at hawaii is awesome
💚🏝💚
Great video of surviving and hunting
💚🤙🏽
As a diver it’s always good to find your entrance and exit points before you enter. Great video none the less
Yeah we thought we had it but the ocean had other plans haha. Definitely learned a lot from this dive
@@hawaiihammahsright 😂nature throw the change up ....
Thank god you guys is save
Yeah was a scary dive for sure!
I went through a similar situation with 1 of the divers I know while I was leading.
Spearfishing is good brother...👍🙏
Cheee thanks bro 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@hawaiihammahs yourwelcome🙏
Smart thinking to stay in the deep zone, take drops and be calm
It definitely helped to give us a little reset
10 points for communication brother
Made it out alive & got fish! I think it’s a WIN-WIN!!
Main thing got out alive and well haha 🤿🤙🏽
The only consistent dive over here is BL my bradda. This was pretty reckless, Only dive that side when it's calm.
Yeah first time there… Definitely ain’t going back lol
Good y'all made out. It's ok I understand i have one too lmao!!!
😅🤙🏽🤙🏽
She really needs a hood. It really helps keep the mask in place and the hair out of the way. If you get smashed and the mask is tangled in the hair you're gonna have a bad time. EDIT Now I see the hood. All in all she did great.
Yeah we learned a lot from this experience! She’s a beast now 🔥🔨
The experience will make her a better diver...for sure.
She’s definitely a way more solid diver now!
I found myself kicking to swim watching this
😂 it was a scary one for sure
When you start feeling all those bad feelings in a bad spot and the current is scary and you guys are panicking screw the video Get the hotty to safty its not worth it.
Live to dive another day is ok. Stay safe my friend God Bless you all.
💯🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hilarious!
It was pretty scary during though 🤣
Gotta invent a float that is also a sea scooter that can help haul ass in or out of the water just in case fatigue starts to set in from strong currents or just diving for a long time🤙🏽
That would be a life saver!
What is the worst case scenario in this situation. Would you get pulled out until it would be too far to make it back to land? what would be your options then? Is it a good idea to always take pencil flares?
Or an epirb so you can call coast guard for rescue
I heard the whales , so cool
Thank you
🐋🐳
Be safe that side is not for intermediate divers. On calm days there's still a rip there. Aloha 🤙
💯🤙🏽
Righteous snipe on the first fish 👁
🐟💥🔫
No shit those waves are made built for the Polynesians Pacific Islander people the most powerful Strongest Built Swimmers who can swim an Ocean Poly Knock Out 🥊 🌊
🙌🔥🙌
POV: you dont wake up early enough to go spearfishing
Normally we do but this spot was a big mish to get to. Got there mid morning
And they never dived together after that day :)
Lolzz
You noticed the currents are pulling you out but did you think about how you going back in against the currents? should be aware of how to go back in at another spot. Use the current to take you back in.....just a suggestion.
Yeah that’s a good idea for sure haha
no mo "chee-hoo!" on dis one.
Was still learning my CZcams style 😂
Currents are the least of your problems...Sincerely, Jaws
😂 listening to the whales you know some big 🦈 be lurkin around..
Anytime you step in the ocean, it can get dangerous fast.
I know the spot. Be cautious. Sucks and yanks. One buddy almost drowned and another occasion another friend got stuck in a major rip. Solid dive though. Gotta risk it if you want that biscuit boy!!!
🔥It’s all about that biscuit🔥
next wahine brah
😂😂
