As in, you are less likely to get bitten by a shark then you are to get hit by lightning, or get in a car accident(which are fairly frequent lol).

My friend's been getting an education in woodworking recently, and it was a pleasure reading their comments regarding your... unorthodox working style. They told me, and I quote, "I was appalled by the way he handles his tools, who the HELL uses a router in such a stupid manner, you should know better even after watching just one stupid youtube video" 10/10 well done champ, keep fighting Big Safety who wants you to use machinery in a boring, less hilarious way

[@wirraway1134]

fuck big Safety

[@roboticintelligenceunit1a652]

What did he do again?

[@BroskiBigDuck]

Easily your best video by far, not the most complicated but definitely full of so much emotion. I laughed, I got goosebumps, I sat on the end of my chair, I clapped in amazement. Genuinely great job and keep doing more like this,

[@Ididathing]

Thanks mate. Definitely the most enjoyable to make as well

[@BoarhideGaming]

@@Ididathing Would love more of this, a second channel if you have to. I know there's tons and tons of Aussies making spearfishing videos, but your's was enjoyable as all hell

[@ThatWannabeNerd]

@@Ididathing when are you selling the movie rights?

[@KSnezz]

@@Ididathingyeah you should definitely do more videos like this one I really enjoyed it love things that involve the ocean

[@FyreEagle]

I think this is the best video you have made yet, cheers on the excellent job! I made it through the hold, sitting still above water, i dont think i could possibly have done it under that much water hahah.

[@smudgepost]

Truly excellent video. A masterful blend of everything that makes your channel fun

[@arnebijnens7811]

Those deeper dives are mad impressive... Im a scuba diver, deepest point i've been is 25m. Air runs out so much faster the deeper you go. 1'40" at 12 meters is crazy

[@Ididathing]

Thanks mate. I recently did a free diving course and got down to 22 meters for around 50 secs. Pretty cool feeling but your head does feel like its being squished

[@Cassiow106]

This video may be one of the best of this channel, you combined your passion with the usual amount of tomfoolery and just the perfect amount of music and a little bit of cooking to make an exciting and relaxing video at the same time

[@Ididathing]

Thanks mate

[@ickyboiproductions]

I agree very wholesome and funny. wish there was a tad bit more humor while hunting so I didnt feel as bad for the fish but still great video

[@bruh-wc1ol]

​@@Ididathinghey man i love your videos, i never watched or knew anything about spearfishing. this was so cool to see, i dont know how this works or how often can you spearfish but this was beautifull id love to see more videos about this

Amazing video Alex, hope for a few more of these in the future :D Did you try to make a buoy on the front of the double spear gun to counter the weight of the gun, it might make it easier to maneuver it under water

[@Thoraynable]

This is incredible content, everything in this video is prefect. I knew of you but only recently bingewatched all of your videos and it was NOT a waste of my time. Keep up the good work !

[@ryangagnon5489]

Am I the only one who would legitimately watch spearfishing videos made by alex? the voice, the comedy, its perfect

[@Charles-dg2gk]

Some regular spearfishing content alongside the wild builds would in fact be really nice

[@AKoboldsAdventures]

I'm jealous of people that live in such biodiverse spots

[@Vaeldarg]

Try saying that when the biodiversity is in insects, like mosquitoes.

[@CaillouLP]

​@@VaeldargIt doesn't take a biodiversive environment to encounter mosquitoes, just like most other genuinely bothersome insects they're everywhere.

A triple bad comment lol.... did you even watch the video? Or did you get an alert for it, saw the title and then tried to be first commentor? The double barrel didn't work, he went back to using a normal speargun. Why TF would a triple be better? Watch the video next time before commenting.

[@PhotographyWithinfocus]

Not really because a trident is a spear with three stabbing tips. A triple speargun shoots three individual full spears.@@pdsnpsnldlqnop3330

I love thé idea of actually having the audience hold their breath with you! Though people don’t realize how much harder it is when you have water pressure squeezing your chest and you’re swimming around. Also congrats on the monster king fish! I could only dream of getting a catch like that. I need to fish Australia sometime!

[@Ididathing]

Thanks mate. Yeah its so much harder with the pressure and also to do while moving and while thinking about sharks!

[@bruh7624]

I'm a painter, every so often I'll take off my respiratory gear just to get a little bit of relief from the discomfort and I'll hold my breath to not take in the fumes. If I'm not doing anything, I'll get 3 minutes. If I'm moving around, I'll be lucky if I last 1:20.. I can't imagine how much more difficult it is moving around with the water pressure on you as well.
