  • The 34th Euro African Spearfishing Championships were held at the end of May in Erdek, Türkiye. I was the captain and competitor for the team along with Ross Gilfilan, Dave Stephens and Dave O'Callaghan as reserve. All fish from the competition were thankfully accepted as donations to a local charity helping people in need.

      Ross found one at around 24m. After the competition I found out the Croats on the first day found a string of rocks or ledges with 10+ congers in it. Definitely needed to spend some time with the side scanner finding those rocks. Also Croats dive for congers a lot in their competitions so are very well versed in finding them and extracting them.

    Wrasse fish are plenty here. I don’t hunt them. Corvina is also plenty but harder to catch as you know. You can find them in shallow waters because it’s laying season at that time for them. Normally you wouldn’t be allowed to hunt for many fish species but because there is plenty corvina around there are no limits on corvina that I know of.

    Hey Daniel, I'm a huge fan from the Netherlands! I was wondering, does your mustache not give you any problems while diving? Over the last few years I started growing a small mustache and beard, and as a result I keep getting quite a lot of water in my nose... I saw some videos that said trying a different mask with a smaller lip part or shaving a thin part of the top of the mustache, but I was quite curious if you have any similar problems? Anyways keep up the great effort and content! ✌️

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  Před 17 dny +1

      I often shave half of my top lip. Seems to work for me. Other times of my beard growth sometimes the mask does seal, just not for the first week after shaving. I think the hair has to lay flat or something.

    Turkey cheating? Break out the Crayolas and color me shocked. Seriously, that doesn't surprise me. They love doing shady stuff. That's why it has become a mecca for yachtbuilding in Antalya. You can have a yacht being welded up by a guy that works for 3 or 4 different shipyards in the area. He gets paid a union wage at each shipyard but if he works for on e of the more prestigious yards like Turquoise or Damen, maybe Mengi Yay, then the cost passed on to the buyer is set at 110 an hour. Now if he works at another yard like Bering, Alia, Dunya or Numarine, he is doing the same job and his wage passed on is now 80 an hour. He however takes home 65 an hour no matter what yard because its a union negotiated salary. Carpenters and coaters usually work in house but they will hire outside for a big push, again the cost varies by shipyard but that worker is paid the same amount.
    Still cheaper than an Italian yacht or definitely a Dutch or German yacht. Now they are opening yards in Georgia and Croatia. Cheaper labor still. Turkish yachts used to have a bad reputation for quality. Their firearms certainly do. Like their luxury watch clones. Look nice, function horrible. The yachts were the same. Then when money came in. It got better, but the corruption also got better. Not surprised they cheated, it just seems that like Chicago here in the USA, you should expect it.
