    Great video Ethan! Agree on all your points especially trying new spots. It’s so easy to get stuck in the rut of going to the same areas. I always try and dive somewhere new or swim a bit further each time I’m out.

    Great list and pointers you shared, cheers. For me learning to equalise properly and correct/efficient duck diving, breathing and finning techniques. Pretty much learning how to freedive has been something I wish I did earlier. So much to learn when starting, I’m two years into spearing and still learning so much every dive

    Magic drink: 4 whole Beets, garlic, whole chicken breast, arugala, pickle juice, berries, honey, cinnamon, box of low sodium chicken bone broth, vitamin, iron supplement. Toss it all in a Vitamix and blend thoroughly. Get yourself a large open mouth Nalgene bottle with a carabeaner and attach it to your gear. Get yourself another Nalgene and fill it with cucumber water and some tart cherry, maybe cranberry juice and attach that to your gear. Bring a couple large bottles of water with sturdy construction/bottle caps. Don't want those tearing or having flimsy bottle caps that bust threads and leak. Now you'll be hydrated, nutritioned, and steadily energized all day. Magic drink has literally saved my life on two separate occasions where I was trapped out at sea over night. Don't dive without it!

    We are so lucky here in South Australia to have the variety of waters to dive/fish. Go south and you hit the kelp and the cold waters of the Southern Ocean. Go north in the gulfs to the warmer and more comfortable conditions and then there's the mighty West Coast....we are so spoiled. That was a great list of thinks to ponder over. My best fishing experience came after joining a fish club. 👌

    LOL, you have now officially become a spearo Elder, welcome Uncle Ethan! Nice video BTW, apologies for laughing so hard at 0:10, but that was too funny for words, you probably heard me all the way over there in S.A ! Thought I'd add re gear, you can buy good quality 2nd hand high end gear. Good quality stuff lasts a life time and can be cleaned up. Cheap crap is just frustrating and the reality is if you buy cheap crap, it doesn't last, it keeps failing and you have no fun. Buy once, buy right! Save yourself a heap of cash, have more fun and get that one fish. I love just capturing fish on film as well. So 6 might be get a camera to record the fun. My Son just got a Hero 3 Black and housing for $50. Takes great quality 1080HD60FPS video, he is having a ball. Dive Safe, have some Fun!

Buy one, buy right, that's a perfect line that sums up buying spearing gear. I play on making a video in the future dedicated just to gear, so don't mind me I'll be stealing that line 😉 Awesome having a camera is definitely a game changer and also allows you to look back and analyse your hunting and movements 👍
