      ​@@KeyWestWatermanAlso pressure from being on the bottom and not actively beathing can really reduce the heart rate for that duration of time. This effectively reduces respiration process significantly and in turn makes best use of oxygen in the blood. Heart can be at half of resting heart rate sometimes. As a matter of fact, Aaron maybe u can do your resting heart rate out of water and then on the bottom to demonstrate. Its easy to find your radial artery at the wrist. Count how many pumps you feel at 15 seconds and multiply by 4 to get bpm!

    I really enjoy watching your videos as it reminds me of the time I lived in Key West and the Lower Keys between 1978 and 1981. I did "a lot" of diving and spear fishing between those years from Marathon all the way to Ft Jefferson. I live outside of Daytona now and have returned occasionally to do some fishing. Getting a little to old for diving though. One time when I was using tanks and diving some patch reefs just off to the west of Key West I was belly crawling under a coral ledge and the K valve of my tank got hung up in a crevasse in the coral directly above me. It's one of the few times I actually felt panic trying to creep in and I had to force myself to remain calm and figure out how to free myself. I just got to say though that I would never bleed a fish where I planned to continue spearfishing...

    That looked like a fun trip! As a side note, one thing I used to do to clean up the dive gear (this is a work smarter, not harder deal). Take a big trash can (clean one) and fill it with water and throw all your dive gear into it and let it soak. So easy, and probably more effective than just rinsing the stuff off. Drink a beer while your stuff is cleaning itself!

    @kencross25 Před 2 měsíci +5

    Aaron, try frying your plantains the Philippines method called "Banana-Q". Slice ripe, not green, Plantains in half lengthwise then fry at 350 degrees until done. Remove from grease (do not smash) and place on wire rack. Immediately put 1/2 cup of brown sugar in hot grease to melt, stirring the brown sugar will help speed up dissolving the sugar. When the brown sugar is dissolved put in your plantains and fry until the brown sugar sticks to the plantains. Remove from grease and place back on wire rack to cool. Please be careful trying to taste the sugar-coated plantains too soon, burn warning. We hope y'all will enjoy them as much as we do.

All I could think about at 11:16 was how awesome it was Madeleine could make that shot and secure the grouper... we've been watching your videos for just over a year now and it puts it into perspective how nice of a fish that is to harvest!

    "The eel is not gonna do ANYTHING" Mr waterman that's true until it isn't. After years of being around them in the water not paying them any mind, one of those freaking eels chased the crap out of me for like 15 feet in grand cayman. It was so damn fast I don't think I could have done anything even with a speargun and I wasn't even that close. Luckily it just wanted to scare me off, and it sure as hell did. Since then, I give them extra space.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
