2014 US Spearfishing Nationals, Hawaii, Kona

[@slow_diver]

Very relaxing descent, I felt very comfortable watching it.. The music was nicely suited as well.

[@BrettGibbs]

Thats some serious depth! Epic diving

[@slayerj4637]

the most interesting thing i'm starting to realize about deep hunting through experience is... When you don't rush to the bottom you can stay longer. Glide more, Kick Less and you demonstrate that perfectly in this video... Thanks

[@theboysadvetures1849]

The more energy (effort) you use the less you can hold your breath they sit at the surface and just look down for a bit to slow there heart and relax therefore allowing the to hold there breath longer

[@slayerj4637]

Yeah I'm figuring that out now. I can routinely make dives to 90ft to hunt fish. An increase of 30ft to my average hunting depths. Just by allowing myself to glide the last 40ft instead of kicking.

[@theboysadvetures1849]

+A.J. Harris yer getting the right weight helps and there are many different breathing techniques but the easiest is laying on the surface not moving breath in for say 4sec take 8sec to breath out basically double the time it takes you to breath in when you breath out, and do that for a good 40-80seconds then take a big breath and just glide down, this works for me and I'm only 16 and can dive 60' and stay down for a good 15 or more seconds. Before learning this I would only get to 30' and only get maybe 10sec max. So it helps to learn

[@slayerj4637]

Yeah I'm doing 1.5mins on bottom at 60 and about a minute at 90ft

[@slayerj4637]

I recover for at least double my bottom time. 2 on the bottom 4 on top.

[@slavsloth5814]

5:26 - 7:40 cause who needs an air tank when you are an airtank

[@VladimirZarubin]

Михаил спасибо! Вы и Уткин Александр не перестаете радовать красивыми трофеями и видео. Еще раз подтверждаю свое мнение, что опыт и чутье приходит с регулярными тренировками и годами, а возраст в нашем спорте не помеха :)

[@alexcoby7269]

Tremendous ability Mikhail, I hope the rest of Hawaii is not that dull; you should come to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef you’ll have a great time!

[@ОлегГуря-о5з]

Спасибо за видео, Михаил! Очень красиво снято. И поздравляю Вас с призовым местом!))

[@franciscoleopo3060]

I like your video it gives a little taste of everything. the more spearfishing videos I watch the more passion I feel to learn it. Great job

[@penguin99ify]

Great video! I spearfished Hawaii 15 years ago and was great fun. Most of my hunting now is South East coast of US.

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

during the competition i did dives between 5 feet and 110 feet of water

[@edwardlizama4150]

Mikhail Kuznetsov Just curious, what was the average depth you did most of your hunting at while you where in hawaii?

[@user-nx3oo1zc1p]

110 feet !? Thats fucking deep bro...

[@omar2002130]

you are a big lier!!! :\

[@omar2002130]

you are a big lier!!! :\

[@aquatoroya8252]

Mikhail Kuzn

[@petespence3965]

That was a huge drop! Was that the 110ft deep drop? Thanks for the great video Mikhail. I spent the last two weeks in Kauai diving with Hawaiians and I am so impressed that you finished 5th in Hawaii among such talented and distinguished colleagues.

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Pete Spence Thank you for comment. Yes it was 110 feet first dive and 120 feet second.

[@ЮрийМоряшин]

Поздравляю с хорошим результатом!Как всегда отличное видео!Спасибо!

[@Splakka]

What a peaceful video, thanks

[@77tyrex]

its difficult 110 feet congratulation! do you see sometimes when you fish the big cypraea tigris of hawai??

[@dany1980it]

Hi, but isn't dangerous doing it alone? If samba occurs, is there somebody on the surface ready to take you out? Nice blue sea! Cheers from Mahahual CostaMaya, Mexico

[@slayerj4637]

I'm comfortable hunting down to 80'. I've done a bounce dive to 105ft to spear a cobia off a wreck but have never tried line diving to figure out how deep I can actually go. my dive cycles on my watch are set at 1'15" I'm using medium stiffness fiberglass fins do you think i should move to a soft blade for deep hunting. Also do you think I should increase my blade length from 85cm to 100cm..?

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

As for me i think that 85 cm more than enough. The softness of the blades is calculating by your body weight.

[@fgh-hi9tl]

Михаил, здравствуйте ! Не покажите " бабушкин узел" петля привязки линя катушки ружья к линю гарпуна? Спасибо.

[@dubyamiyami]

Beautiful video Mikhail, what is the song during your first dives? 5:15+

[@billkeller3083]

you guyes are so amazing to be able to hold your breath for that long! - do you develope gills after much time in the water? awesome!

[@twasblind316]

Nice video! Looked like some deep skin diving. What is the depth you speared fish at? Looks like 40 feet at least to me. Hawaii is a beautiful place.

[@thoriboy]

Cool video.. Great diving, great catch and amazing visibility/view :) May I ask what kind of settings you use on your camera? 2,7k, 1080super? And how many fps? You include protune and/or low-light?

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

thoriboyGoPro Black Edition. I have the following setting 1080, 60 frames, wide angle. It is all what have.

[@sheldonamante9498]

Ey, dat wuz Hanalei Adric! Dat buggah is one great diver. Get plenty great divers. Aloha!

[@DiveManiacs]

Отличные съемки и отличный монтаж!

[@slllsss]

Great video! What is the name of the song being played while you are going on that first dive?

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Sam Mills take a look in the end of the movie.

[@tatianaaroni6882]

its nice to see that the carbon fins made by our Greek friend tasos have made their way round the globe and landed in Hawaii . I wish you all safe diving

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Tatiana Aroni Yes you right, i love this blades!

[@bruces8056]

great video thanks

[@dediver]

Cool Video, great dives! What is the music during the dives? Is it royalty free music?

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

dediver Yes it is free music.

[@SmilyVoice]

Михаил, поздравляю очень достойный результат на таком престижном соревновании. Приятно видеть как вы добиваетесь таких успехов. Мы практически земляки (Крым) и поэтому вдвойне приятно. Особенное спасибо за съемку. Подскажите как крепите гоу про на деревянном сэтапе или вышлите ссылку, если можно? Спасибо.

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

SmilyVoice Просто креплю хомутами камеру со штатным креплением прямо за механизмом сзади, между рукояткой и упором для заряжания.

[@SuperDaviejones]

Hi Mikhail, What fins are you diving with in the vid? they have a great action.

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Davecj1 XX One, made in Geece by Tasos Chalaris.

[@macnorban]

Hi! What Camera are you using? Video's Crispy and sharp! :D

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Rafsan Bantuas Go Pro 3, Black.

[@nikitaskrynnik9067]

Миш, а что у вас за ружье? Тик? Какая длина барели? Спасибо

[@MC-cu1jn]

Mikhail what do you do with your kayak in this situation, do you anchor it? The reason I ask is because I don't see a line connected to you.

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Michael Collazo Yes i do. Because i not so strong pull it behind me.)

[@leonmelnitsky1585]

Михаил, спасибо большое очень интересный спорт. Я и мой сын заинтересованы узнать больше и научиться. Вы случайно не даете уроки ? Мы ваши соседи в Южной Флориде. Спасибо Лёня .

[@stickjack1]

Congratulations. Very much enjoyed the video.

[@AlexeiPavlov]

Классно ныряете Михаил! Молодец! что за глубина там 60 футов? что за ружье у Вас? Помоему у Вас было больше всего рыбы, местному подсудили?

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Alex Pavlov Спасибо за комментарий. В видео первый нырок на 105 feet второй на 120 по моему. Рыбы у первых 5 человек было почти одинаково, разница в полторы рыбы. Я не думаю что бы кто то пытался надуть ...

[@AlexeiPavlov]

мы в Калифорнии , в районе Лос Анджелеса ныряем, район Палос Вердес, если будете тут покажу места где есть White Sea Bass (Белый Горбыль)

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Ok, спасибо за приглашение, непременно дам знать если соберусь в ваши края.

[@thinkjeremiah]

The underwater video was fantastic

[@youtubik777]

Михаил прими мои поздравления с призовым местом, представляю как было интересно понырять на Хаваии. На прошлой неделе я нырял на Вэст Палм Бич там тоже поинтересней чем у нас на Daytona New Smyrna, вот только было течение и не очень компфортно было нырять. Вот бы понырять вместе что бы подсказал всякие детали, я так понял ты уже давно этим занимаешься...

[@СергейНетылько]

Класс! Сколько по времени там были?

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

Сергей Нетылько Две недели.

[@СергейНетылько]

Супер. Я за адреналином в Сочи на горнолыжные трассы, после Нового года. 10го еду в Нижний на охоту по глухорям. В прошлом году был, ни одного не подстрелил, но отдохнул пипец.

[@kylesayre8764]

how do you dive so far down?

[@bmwalker611]

Wow this is really far down and holds breath for 1 min really amazing

[@oliverolsson2702]

How can you hold your breath for so long

[@Jafarmarar]

Oliver Olsson Practice and fitness my friend

[@opthedabmonster]

Eat great no fast food

[@thomaslawson177]

Amazing video! calming with my cup of joe!

[@Bahamascottoutdoors]

World class athlete man! What control.

[@solmom3191]

how long can u hold your breath for?

[@norbertschmidt5997]

what training you recommend to be able to hold your breath for so long time ? :D

[@mikhailkuznetsov672]

+Norbert Schmidt Just dive in the middle of the water. Then you got zero floating, try to swim easy and relax so far as you can. Hold your breath so long as you can.

[@norbertschmidt5997]

+Mikhail Kuznetsov Thank you very much

[@opthedabmonster]

Search up Wym Hof breathing techniques for more information.

[@joeyandrade4942]

what brand is your dive watch??

[@mikhailkuznetsov5328]

+Mike Perun Jr I never keep my snorkel in the mouth even on the shallow. It stay close to my mouth and look like in.

[@mikeperunjr5600]

+Mikhail Kuznetsov ......My Bad... i watched it again...the way it it was held by snorkel keeper through me .....thanks for the clarification .....nice video
