If I can suggest, don’t cut it after the first knot, flip it back again and you got your second layer using the same lady lugging. Ahhh and don’t forget to knot again ;)

Just thinking out loud, the lycra socks, I would double it up before tying the knot, and tye both socks with one knot. I like a figure 8 knot, rather than a half-hitch. Here it doesn't matter, but in a rope, it unties easier.

well I'd like to make a neck weight and maybe even try this out for my vest even tough this has not been a problem for me. I guess becaus I only dive in cold water and my 7mm suit is enough padding. Problem is I can't get my hands on these led shots in my country. I found them one place, but it was a crazy price for a tiny, tiny amout of balls.

Hi im just starting spearfishing and looking to but my first speargun What gun do you recommend and what length

Last Sept 5th Went for a 3 hour beach spearo session with.a weight belt - had back pain that evening. 3 days later I was in ER. Ended up herniating my L5-S1 and needed surgery to fix it. 6 months later still recovering, not been in the water since. Very much suggest this option for anyone reading this if you are a beach spearo and in the water for hours. :(

I've worked as a guide before and put in heaps of seriously long days in the water. I found that actually strengthening my posterior chain and core eliminated any soreness in my back when using a belt

Maybe it's easier to get a hold of in the UK, I asked about getting lead shot here in Australia for reloading shot shells and was told it was special order and pretty expensive. If someone offers to take you game bird shooting you'd be crazy not to go. All the ones I've tasted so far are so much better than any duck or chicken you get from a store, it's like the difference between a store bought fish and that awesome target species you took yourself with a speargun 😁 Love your videos, see you on the next one

we use normal diving belt then have those "dive pockets" and place it on the front of our belly. instead of lead we fill it with coins :3 (for 1 dollar i can get 200x25cents php). benefit is the pockets levitate below you with a small gap between you and the pocket making it very comfortable. downside they wiggle around a lil bit but it works very well. You do need to remove the belt before jumping up in the boat (if you have a distance between you and the edge) since they do catch some water.

I really like the Sporasub Quick release one. It is the easiest to drop in an emergency with one handed operation.

Daniel, bit of a silly question. But do you remove these pouches after every dive and rinse the salt water off them? Would you replace the sock every 10 dives or so if it's start to fray, I'm assuming you don't put a new sock on after every dive?

Just buy a mask, a knife and go to the water, for octopus, cuttlefish, shells and seafood you can catch bare hand, i begin with a cheap trident arpon with an useless ruber from decathlon, and with that i caught all the species enunciated before and more red mullet and flat fish such as plaice, sole, etc... after that i bought a cheap used speargun, which i don't recomend because was so old that i need to buy all the accessories. Just get used to be underwater, to understand the behaviour of the fishes, the dangers of the underwater environment (blackouts, underwater currents near holes and cravasses, sharp rocks, poisonous or aggressives animals, nets and fishing lines, tangled in your own line, lose gear that can make you get stuck ) and meet other speros who can be later on, your buddys when you want to dive deeper and longer. And something great, you have the magic of all the teachings of the youtubers like Daniel Mann.

Im using lead from 12gauge ammo... dont know if its harmfull or not, i have heard a lot of story’s around lead.

Just a heads-up: lead birdshots are illegal in many countries and there is a chance they are gonna be banned in the entire EU, along with lead bullets and lead fishing sinks/lures. This COULD make possession/use illegal IDK. Also some countries demand dive weights to have some sort of coating. But any way awesome DIY and always love using the wives clothes for actual important stuff

@philipbohi983

3 жыл бұрын

Use shot designed for waterfowl, like Tungsten or Bismuth. Tungsten is more dense than lead, so it takes a bit less shot to make a weight. Also, they’re more expensive and they can corrode in salt water so be sure to rinse and dry the weights well before storage. They are both non-toxic metals and safe to handle. There is steel shot, but that will rust away quickly, even if coated with tin or copper - it’s designed to dissolve over time (so the stuff that doesn’t hit a bird will return to the earth). Plus it’s not dense, so it takes more to make a weight.

Next video, how to handle with the neck pain, when you are laying in the bottom, stretching the head to lock for fishes, maybe i need another type of mask, one with wide view to the top, at the end of the session i lay a little over my left side, so i only can look for the fishes that appear from my side and not in front and i can't use my left arm to push forward when attaching

That is uhm... not very good for the environment... like... the lead or rather its ions dissolve in water which is not good for the organisms in the water and also if the sock breaks for some reason(sharp object for example) you have lead everywhere and cant take it out of the water again... if you really need a flexible lead bag buy it from a diving company... those are sealed, and dont use them anymore when they break. For reference about the toxicity: The German Sport Divers Association recommends to plasti-dip even traditional weights, which have a way smaller surface area.

you can only fit 6kg on your belt? well, instead 1kg try using 2kg weights... - laughs in SCUBA
