Wild, you were talking about 500 subs in the vid and here you are a few years later with 16k+!

[@KIKE8743]

Thank you !!!! My wife and I are planning to visit Honolulu this coming May. I am planning on snorkeling and for that reason, I have been watching a lot of videos about Hawaii rules and regulations. Thank you for explaining these rules, it helped me to get a better idea of how this works.

[@ligairi]

Love your Naoki gyotaku piece in the background.

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Thanks!!! It's definitely one of my best memories!

[@josevictoryexteriorsolutio3587]

Aloha Thank you for your videos. I’m in Puerto Rico. Just got my new Mantis mask. So much better.

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Awesome! Good to hear!

[@kapenamokiao6384]

Brah you’re so informative! Mahalo 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@ReelCatcheeeHi]

Can u make a vid talking about speargun set up. I bin diving for a while and always hear other talk about using a break away set up?

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

For sure bro! I personally dont use that rig. But I'm gonna start blue water diving soon, and that's the setup for that

[@amccann99]

Went spearfishing for first time in Maui last week. Went with Top Shot Spearfishing. Your vids are great and I'm going to keep learning.

[@leonelfonseca9242]

No worries bro, glad u enjoyed!

[@makalapzshay8848]

What Walmart do you go to because mine doesn’t have most of this😂

[@Skidkid]

You got 17k subs now!

[@ReWildUniversity]

Loving your videos and learning so much. We are moving to Hawaii soon and your videos are our primary guide to how to get started spearfishing. I love that you cover everything from equipment to ethics and respect. Do you ever take spearfishing apprentices to teach them the art?

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

That's so awesome!! Let's do a collaboration! Would love to take you guys out, shoot me a dm on Instagram @teamfishanddive. Thanks for the support! Sick channel!

[@ReWildUniversity]

@@FishandDiveHawaii Ha! Don't laugh at me too much, but I don't use Instagram much and only have it on my PC, and can't seem to figure out how to dm you. Sheesh! Talk about technically illiterate!! =) At any rate, I'll keep trying to figure it out, but if you're willing to email you could write to me at rewilduniversity (at) gmail (dot) com. I'd love to do a collaboration! Let's talk! =) Kenton

[@ReWildUniversity]

Okay -- I figured it out =)

[@danielfedida758]

This video was the best Ive seen so far, I'm literally buying everything you posted. I will be diving in south Florida let me know if you have any recommendations

[@chesterwooten5398]

Come big island 🙏🏻

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Trying to make it out there in the next few months!

[@keanusofa]

Very helpful braddah!!!

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Thanks man!

[@somerandomguy3532]

Come to Maui sometimes, Plenty of fish+sharks

[@somerandomguy3532]

I mean sometime

[@ttime808]

Thanks for the video my bro fisherman here just starting to get into diving awesome went 3 prongin today and now I can't stress enough on a good mask

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Yeah man!! Having a good mask is essential! Mask, snorkel, and fins are the best gear to invest in

[@ttime808]

I get some alright fins mares plano concorde but da mask was fogging hard to look in the hole does yellow lens help with low light?

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Have you tried using naupaka or toothpaste??

[@ttime808]

@@FishandDiveHawaii is naupaka the leaf? I used before it work but my friend them used toothpaste and I never 🤦‍♂️ lesson learned lol

[@Oozmacappabruderhood]

@@ttime808 I just got back into diving like last week to stop the fogging run a lighter on the inside of the mask there's a silicon layer inside once that's burned off just rub it clean with a towel and when u get to the beach spit and the naupaka leaf. But the secret is to not touch the lens with your bare fingers while rubbing with the spit and naupaka leaf hold onto the leaf and rub rinse a few times then should be good

[@cameronberry4758]

first off thanks for all the education, love your videos. i dive a lot and just starting to get into spearfishing, i just have a question about how you tow your buoy behind you? where do you attach the float line?

[@ernestocreto1689]

there are two ways, you can attach it to your weight belt or waist or you can pull it all with your free hand. i prefer pulling it with my free hand and dropping it when you are read to make your dive. be sure to tie a 2-4 oz lead weight on the end to keep it from drifting away.

[@fastflight71]

Good video bro......just getting into this spearfishing, but the places to go here in Texas are limited.

[@Oozmacappabruderhood]

Do you suggest getting tighter fins or fins with a little play? I went to check out fins but don't know if I should get it tight or loose and wear it with a sock or something. I'm a size 11 the cressi hf 10/11 fits with a little play but the 8/9 is tight and my toes come out through the hole.

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

How loose is the other one? I wouldn't recommend tight fins cuz your feet will start cramping up fast. I would recommend the looser one for sure, depending on how loose it is

[@Oozmacappabruderhood]

@@FishandDiveHawaii perfect thanks you the reply just picked up a pair yesterday 👍🏽

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

🤙👍🙌 Dive safe bro!!

[@ernestocreto1689]

fins should fit you snugly like your shoes, if it's a little loose using socks is OK. i do. it may prevent blisters.

[@robertjohnson774]

Where do I go to join a spearfishing excursion in wakikik

[@1rkaleilehua]

dont mind the profile picture but i have a question, I am almost 16 and Im planning to get a spear gun. What length and brand should i get? Keep in mind that I Dive often but with 3 prong

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Awesome man! I wish I started that young! I would for sure start off with a 90cm. My brother just bought a carbon Pathos with a matte finish and that gun is sweet. Landed couple uhus with it already

[@1rkaleilehua]

@@FishandDiveHawaii Cant really find anything on pathos on big island, would you think an amero hatch custom speargun would be good for me?

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Hatch Ameros are amazing guns! And they hardly lose value if you keep them in decent condition if you want to sell it in the future

[@Nickerian91]

Was looking into diving weights but way to expensive to get them to my location and metal scrap way way to expensive here. I litterly endedup buying a belt with pockets and filled it up with money (5 dollar is 5kg of 0.25 cents "php" value)

[@kelseyPDX808]

in the beginning of the video , the fish print on the wall. was that done by Jason?

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Hmm. I think that one was Naoki out in Kaneohe side.

[@crazzyjboy]

How’s the hatch gremlin aluminum gun in 90cm? Good for beginner?

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Awesome gun. Cant beat the price either!

[@robertgebken7675]

Unrelated to the video. but anyone know what song is playing at 4:15?

[@isaacfishinghawaii]

Nice vid

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

Thanks cuz!

[@keanukamai9832]

What about a 2mm wet suit in hawaii?

[@Humblesurfer777]

Any tips on keeping your mask from fogging up?

[@kaponoyakut2120]

I like to put just a touch of dish soap and smear it on the inside then rinse it out lightly

[@smells_808_9]

Would you dive on Kauai

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

I wanna go bro! Do you live there??

[@bippa-d-bop-ady4065]

Molokai get the best fish

[@ernestocreto1689]

molokai get sustainable fishing they no like outsiders because some divers take more than they can eat.

[@redbuilt]

you player you in oahu? lets dive

[@Nickerian91]

There is no good mask if you have a mustache :3

[@michaeljordon704]

I know this might seem stupid but I'm wondering why all this gear is "needed" Why do you need a mask and snorkel if you're not diving too deep. Why do you also need a wetsuit in that warm Hawaiian water? Grated I haven't been spearfishing before so this commment might just be pure ignorance but I figure if this guy can do it why can't I? kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6iyamaDYpl1eK8

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

No bro, totally not ignorance at all. I just try to provide all the information I can to help people dive safely and effectively! Aloha! God Bless

[@michaeljordon704]

Fish and Dive Hawaii so have you ever dived with nothing except a pole spear or have you ever considered doing it or do you think it’s impossible

[@ernestocreto1689]

safety equipment is required by law and it warns boaters that there is a diver in the area and to stay a safe distance away to prevent getting run over. i have in my experience where a boat drove directly over me when i was on the bottom. there are also instances where divers got run over and hit by the props.your mask helps you to see more clearly under water because it creates an air pocket between the lens and the water. your snorkel enables you to keep your head under the water and continually allows you to breathe while searching the area. if not you will be bobbing all day long for air and you won't last long out there. wetsuits are an option and it does keep you warm even though hawaiian waters are warm compared to other parts of the world. it also protects you from jelly fish stings(portugese man o' war). your fins help you navigate during your dive increasing your dive time along with the other basic dive equipment. divng barefoot without a mask,snorkel and fins will get you nowhere and NO FISH, trust me. Diver for more than 50 years There isn't a place which is divable on the island of Oahu where i haven't been.
