Deep Spearfishing: The Reef 

Yes, Dimos. I was very surprised :) Do you see the sharks?

+Anvar Mufazalov Ι can clearly see a shark at 5:40...but where there 2 fish?Not just the one im looking at...?

No no, there was only one. Maybe I got too excited speaking about the sharK and used sharkS :)

+Anvar Mufazalov Τοο bad he didnt stay around for a good shot...with the camera of course...!!! :D

Yep, I was shocked. I see them once in a while, but when it gets your fish you just freeze. Do I wave my hands? Do I start shouting? Do I laugh about it? Do I turn the camera on and shoot the video? Yes! Video! Video! Oh come oooon, switch oooon!

Thanks! Trying to motivate you to get in the water more often :)

Jaime! Thank you for your feedback! I am glad you will also be going as deep very soon!

Thanks for your comment, Weston! Glad you liked it!

Thanks Damian!

Thanks Goran!

Thanks for watching :)

The fish is never worth your life. In close future I will upload the bright side of the 'Reef'. So there will be balance :)

Grazie :)

Thanks Tonino :) Thats the house of the great videos :)

Thanks Alex, passing the adrenaline is my main strategy when producing all those videos :) I want viewers to feel it :)

+Anvar Mufazalov I wanted also to ask you what camera do you use in this video? My Sony is too big for deep summer dives ...

Alex, its a Gopro Hero 3+ Black. You have a TX? I was using a TX with my Trygons back in a day... The colours, with some work, were amazing...

Yesterday we were watching with a friend video from his gopro 3+ but the quality and the colours weren't the same with yours. Do not know why ??

Of course :) Out of the camera footage is meeeh. I spent hours and hours in PostProduction, fixing and editing the footage...

Thank you, Arty :) I am glad you like the stuff that I do :)

Ciao Andrea!

Spasibo! Da tut, blin, vsyo video ribu jalko. To lin' oborvalsya, to ruj'yo uplilo, to akula :)

+Oom Soutie, thanks for your concern! Yes, SA is a shark spot of our tiny planet... We see them couple of times per year but usually they are very careful and never approach... You guys are more hardcore in a 'shark feeding' sense :) Actually, the same evening that the URU was gone - I made this extra reel+belt. I use it every day since then. A great idea! The problem is that we get used to our 'routines' and rarely question it (unless the shit hits the fan). The gone URU was an eye-opening experience...

I will do my best, Vasilis :)

Missed your comment :( Sorry... Yes, shit happens so you gotta know when to stop...

Thanks for the nice words, Angelos. Dont be sorry about the gun ;) More details later :)

Thats what I felt! A fish gone with a rather expensive shaft = not cool. A shark took them = amazing!

Tesekkur ederim, Kadir :)

I was lucky to stone my first one.

Thanks Abdelkader!

Thank you :)

Grazie! Thanks for watching, Federico

Spasibo, Volodya!

Privet Gennadiy, ya po-oshibke vash friend-request udalil iz fb :) Dobavlyaite menya v Skype, tam budet proshe govorit', nu ili cherez FB :) V skype ya anvar(tochka)mufazalov

Efharisto!

Pojaluista! Ya bil bi ochen' rad esli bi vse realno uchilis' na moih oshibkah :)

Yes, Alex the Oceanborn is a good toy, but I have my own favorites... But it was the first I was using a 115+ gun, the range (event with too bands +8mm) makes you very very comfortable :)

It would be a pleasure to talk about the big guns. From my experience the need of power at very deep ambush is bigger than most of divers think

Yes, the power is (almost) always a good thing :) I will share some thoughts of mine in the 2nd season of the Deep Spearfishing Encyclopedia...

Thanks Brian!

+Denis Kuznetsov spasibo za otziv :)

Willows, its a matter of training and understanding what you are doing! :) Check out the Deep Spearfishing Encyclopedia: Relaxation, that will put you on a right track :)

Efharisto Costas! Cypriot waters is an amazing playground...

My hunting places start at 34-35 and I live in TRNC (Cyprus). I love deep water fun :)

Thanks man! The Urukay was gone... and found again in 5 days or so :) Long story, will share details in a next video :)

Gianluca, I am a freediving instructor so I am in the water very often :) I hunt 2-3 times per week max, usually.

Man, in the Med we dont get any sharks most of the time :)

Thanks Moabz, maybe one day :)

+Anvar Mufazalov if you are ever in Dahab or Eilat let me know.

After Effects

Privet Moty, Deep Spearfishing Encyclopedia! Pervoe video tebe vsyo rasskajet :) Vot zdes' postmori: ru-vid.com/group/PLj2qIAqoZxzVji6itQsF5qVuw2tR3vv3-

Hi, Shane! Well, training is the key. Knowing what you are doing is also pretty important. And I love the sport... So I dedicated all my effort towards improving myself. Check out the Deep Spearfishing Encyclopedia, lots of interesting info there!

Well, I would say 2-3meters... I have no idea which type it was though. Pretty aggressive too :)

Please, take a look at the second part of the 'Reef' :)

Spasibo Vlad, v samom nachale i v samom konce Hi-Finesse - Radius. V seredinke ofigennii trek ot Made In Russia - Ghost Spaceship

+Anvar Mufazalov О, да! Я про середину. Очень крутой. Спасибо.

+Anvar Mufazalov Да кстати, было бы интересно посмотреть видео о тренировках. Я имею ввиду, как натренировать организм что бы достичь глубины 20м-30м.

Vlad, posmotri Deep Spearfishing Encyclopedia: Health and Training ;) Special'no dlya tebya :) Ne pomnyu pro subtitri, no video bilo na Angliiskom

Ок. Посмотрю. Безопасных нырков тебе. И не забываемых впечатлений.

Privet! Mi ne pol'zuemsya bungee... Eto je ne blue-water hunting :) Rogatku potom nashol :)

Нашел-уже хорошо)))

Dont worry, be happy, Mr. Cadet :) Watch the second part of 'the Reef'. 1K$ Lost, 1K$ found :)

I know now, i just watched the reef II. another great videp :)

add me on facebook, or drop an email to muphazalov(at)yahoo.com

It just takes time. But if you train - you will be very very good!

How old are you and how did you take to reach 30 and beyond...

Gianluca, I am 26. I started spearfishing in 2009-2010... Now a freediving Instructor and a spearfishing coach :) Have you checked my Deep Spearfishing Encyclopedia?

Its not that bad, actually :) I will let you all know later what the full story was :)

Igor', 90% mi niryaem v pare. Na trenirovki net (zhelaniya) vremeni :) V more dovol'no chasto, tak kak mnogo studentov, inogda s neterpeniem jdu 'suhogo' dnya :)

Holy guacamole, I am actually glad my vid was the motivation for you to learn something new :) Yeah, Urukays are not cheap. Buuuut, check out the Reef II ;) It didn't hurt long enough :)

Savas, the Urukay came back to me later on. In a couple of days :)

Spasibo Aleksand!

Vei Dorje, thanks for the comment! Nobody said that the sharks dont live here, in the Med. I see them 5-10 times per year... BUT they almost never snatch your prey :) Sea is one for all ;)

I slowly am... I made my mind and there will be a 'Bright side of the Reef' :)

Thats one of the nicest comments I ever received :) haha, thanks! But I have to refuse your offer (uhhh) :) Do you like your Uru? What length?

I have a brand new 120 cm :)

I think it might qualify as the best gun that has ever been made!

I agree. A beauty with a tough character. But something u can totally rely on :)

Your opinion counts, Mertcik

Actually, you are not right Collin. Its a much more complicated subject then a' not a brain science'. Breakaway greatly limits your movements on the bottom (we have currents, waves) and you are rarely aware of the plan before you get to the bottom. You might have to make a long aspetto or you might have to follow your prey over a long distance horizontally... Breakaway is great for shallower dives for big fish or diving in the area with a very rich fish population...
