I remember years ago....snorkeling in a place called Merimbula in Victoria Australia .....spear fishing with a sling like you guys are using...32-36 mtrs londown for nearly 3 minutes..... we used to loose colour and everything became. Dark grey green..... hour after hour we did this..... how exciting it was and how much fun we had..... couldn’t do it these days 60 in a couple of months.....long distant memories.... thanks guys George D
Yesterday I accidentally stumbled on a video of a guy spear fishing with tanks and killing and entire shoal of fish one after the other. The contrast with this video couldn’t be greater. Incredible athletes and so respectful of nature
Deepest I ever got consistently was 45 feet for 30 seconds. I couldn’t imagine staying down at 100ft. That’s over a minute and a half to safely resurface.
Great diving, make it look easy (all about being calm) I’ll always still own a sling but new pole-spears with a belt reel or float line is my favorite for making it a bit safer with all the sharks in the Bahamas. Plus shagging shafts in 100 after following a fish isn’t my favorite move.
The blood does cause them to get into a frenzy as well as the sound of a distressed fish. in this case the character of the shark is not as aggressive as some. This area we are diving does not have much human activity and so the sharks are not as trained or aggressive as other places where people spearfish a lot.
Seeing the surface that close... no way is that a 100 feet deep. Other than that load of crap... awesome footage and diving!!! I couldn’t do it at 30 feet. Maybe rework your creative numbers and this is 10/10!
Most of those fish were shot in 30 to 60 of water. You can tell by the lack of red and the deeper blue/green color in the first scene that it was much deeper. I have no doubt that first scene was at 108 feet. All of the other scenes were definitely shallower and you can tell by the color of the water. William Trubridge is a world record holding freediver who has been over 400 feet deep. 100 feet is absolutely nothing for him.
I spear with Luke a lot and 100ft is typical for him. Now you take multiple world record freediver like William who's spearing with him here and 100ft is like 20ft to most. First clip was 108. But if you doubt then book a trip with him. Be an experience you'll never forget.
@@Bahamascottoutdoors Footage doesn't lie. I'm not saying he can't, I'm saying most of the dives in the vid are not to 100, so it's disingenuous to claim such. I dive reasonably comfortably to 25m in a 7mm in New England in winter (43°) with around 25lbs of lead and 3m vis. I know how deep and how long a 30m dive is. Most of these are not them. All respect to the dudes, but like I said: hitting 108' and actually diving at 108' are two different things.
@@nfragala first of all congrats and HUGE stones for diving in that ice bath sir! I've never put on 7mm, cannot imagine that or low vis. So agree, and know, that all the dives were under 100ft other than the first. Luke is my spear buddy back home in the Bahamas and I assure you he is not the type to mislead on purpose. Now from experience I've been with Luke multiple times when he's speared past 100ft. And when I made my first 100+ drop he was the man waiting for me on the end of the rope for safety. So from someone who's been there, done that I assure you he hunts 100+ft regularly. I sure the hell can't!!!
It starts with understanding the physiology then repeating the right techniques to condition the mind and body. It all becomes second nature from there.
Honestly as soon as they swam up I thought the same thing I was thinking that was way too quick to go back up you can still see the bottom a little bit.
I've comfortable dived 30 to 40 feet .It may not look like it but they're diving 100 feet . It's just like sports you spend enough time & effort doing something the hard part you make look ez. 30 40 ft is like the Carnal in the back of my friends yard .Playground. Man dem out in the ocean so I can see they between that 80 -100 mark no cap.
