Diving with EELS in FRESHWATER!!!

Freediving with eels in freshwater was a really amazing experience! I'm typically freaked out by freshwater. I just feel like there are horrible things lurking around and I never thought that I'd be seeking out those creepy critters! hahaha
To learn to freedive check out www.freedivingfamily.com
After our eely experience I went with Jade from Dive Eden to dive Merimbula Wharf. It was a really pretty dive site with a big friendly stingray. Jade knows the entire Saphire Coast like the back of her hand so if you're ever close to Eden get in touch to dive with her: www.diveeden.c...

Hey adam, just want to say thank you for introducing me to this amazing sport. I've now gone diving over 30 times and I continue to get better and better with inspiration from you. Thank you

[@AdamFreediver]

Ah that's amazing Lucas!!! :) I'm so stoked I could start you on this journey

Hey, just wondering where was this, this is definitely going on my list of swimming spots to visit next year

Adam: Im scared (of an eel) Also Adam: Freedives with massive sharks

[@paczki2915]

I live in Oregon and we have saltwater eels called wolf eels, which live in holes in the rocks and look very scary, look one up, they are camouflaged so that adds an extra level of spook.

[@lloydo-za]

1:08 you missed an easy one, Adam. The police were there because of eel-igal activity in the area 😉

[@AdamFreediver]

Oh stop it you! well done

[@djdavidphillips]

Sure you've got enough kilos on? hahahaaaa wow!

[@AdamFreediver]

hahaha so much weight!

[@ISMACGREYSUB]

eels are so good cooked Adam,ha,ha ,ha! #reysub

[@zbeekerm]

I came here to say that too 🙃

[@HohnkeOutdoors]

Hey Adam, great video! I went for my first spearfish/ freedive on the weekend and had a blast! But this video has got me thinking about a national park near my place in Tamworth that has clear water and Murray Cod, and now I'm curious to go and dive it.

[@michenesi]

Wow! Really dark water! How's the temperature?

[@AdamFreediver]

it was about 15 degrees :) nice in a 5mm

[@razorr3751]

@@AdamFreediver 7 if your the one that always complains about how cold is the water (like me haha)

[@jovannib2913]

I dive in freshwater alot. I'm looking for a wetsuit with a camo pattern like that with yellows and browns, let me know if you see this what type of wetsuit you'd recommend, cheers.

[@fredrik.explorer]

Eels are awesome, I've been lucky to see eels a few times when freediving 😎

Stupid urchins but cool video...

Hey Adam Try diving in bhim kund india

[@SMatunaS]

You should dive with that hat taped on

[@AdamFreediver]

haha I'll give it a go

[@zbeekerm]

Important question... do they... do they... taste good? Can you catch and cook them? Eel is DELICIOUS!

[@shiroyasha4995]

we turn urchins to sushi here

[@tarektoumi9598]

Hey Adam, thank you very much for your videos. I have a question please. To dive deep, how many time do you equalize? Whenever you feel pain in your ears? Or every few meters or You equalize without stopping. Thank you again. You are TOP

[@radoslavmilev4896]

Adam, I'm watching your videos and I'm really jealous :) We are locked in our homes and I just look forward for the moment when I will swap the sneakers with fins again. Great videos mate, I love your content!

[@michaelsanders7484]

Adam please respnd to this question, I must know! Why does freshwater freak you out and not the ocean? For me when I swim in lakes, sometimes I feel nervous but Im comforted to know that most freshwater bodies dont have large predators. Where as the ocean has Huge stuff! Whats your opinion!? Thank you if you get a chance to respond!

[@FelipedNC]

Hey Adam! Lovely video! Just discovered your channel after developing an interest in freediving after watching my octopus friend on Netflix! I'm a scuba certified diver and sorry if this question seems a bit dumb, but how do you figure out how much weight you have to wear when you're freediving? Loving your content, by the way, your positivity and how much I've been learning from you, thanks for the videos, just subscribed!

[@TheAndrewartha23]

Where is this? I want to add it to my five spot

[@AdamFreediver]

[@elzzystream848]

[@stevenlarratt3638]

First fish i caught here in the uk was an eel. Hated it, couldnt get it off the line as i couldnt grasp the thing!

[@princetandukar9290]

What’s the reason you don’t swim in fresh water more often?

[@kristerflores5277]

what is the rule of speed at what deepth and time for safe acent?

[@lasagnaravioli]

Looks a guy on a rock, there must be some eels over there lol

[@Name-ps9fx]

Are those rays the ones with the sharp pointy tails?

[@phil9760]

Hey Adame, have you ever made a video about your gopro settings? That would be cool! :)

[@phil9760]

Settings under water thought haha... and maybe in different Types of water

[@Beautiful_Sound_1995]

Isn't swimming in freshwater VERY risky?

[@AdamFreediver]

Not as risky as any other type of water. It's just creepy hahaha

[@Gabriel-pq3yb]

Hi @Adam Freediver

[@UKSpearo]

I'm in the UK so forgive my ignorance, but isnt swimming in freshwater in Oz freaking terrifying? I'd be so scared of crocs 😅🐊

[@zbeekerm]

Saltwater crocodiles are much scarier than freshies. Salties will look at an adult horse and think: “yeah that looks like a good lunch!” Fresh water crocs are much smaller and more timid. Not to mention the Sharks, cone shells and blue ring octopus that you can find in the ocean.

[@UKSpearo]

@@zbeekerm indeed, but don't you also get salties in freshwater? And you definitely get bull sharks in freshwater too 😮

[@edenmossey1296]

Is that eels dangerous??

[@AdamFreediver]

I honestly have no idea hahaha

[@edenmossey1296]

In Maldives those eels are dangerous but they will not follow you to bite but one you make interrupte then they will bite 😜
