INSANE blue water in Zakynthos, Spearfishing least remote island ever

[@kouroupp1305]

Mr. Mann, you have a way of making people that don't know you, feel happy with your joy!amazing talent, you must be a nice guy!Greetings from Greece!

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Panagiotis! It’s hard to be unhappy in Greece 😀

[@spearfishinglifegreece]

I would have risked the shot on that Pigka! Great video mate and i'm really happy to see you both enjoying your dives and finding plenty of fish and a fucking Pargo! Thanks for sharing and taking us along! PS: i'm Like no 666 !!!😁

[@DanielMann]

I probably should have pulled the trigger at least! Crazy to see a pargo, I’m sure my eyes going the size of dinner plates when I saw it scared it off 🤣

[@konstantinkaps3629]

99,9% of the Mediterranean hunters will never see one in their whole diving lifes! The Mediterranean sea gave you one of the most prized privileges Daniel!

[@EthanYeo1]

Absolutely loved the Mediterranean series, the thumbnails were on point too! Can't wait to see the comp video, it's been way too long since you last competed 😂 The grilled amberjack looked amazing, does it taste similar to kingy?

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Ethan! It was a fun competition but as usual very competitive with the big European nationals involved. Similar to kingfish but I’d say a finer grain on it and very delicious. In saying that I’ve not shot many 6kg kingfish so probably an unfair comparison to a 15kg kingfish!

[@tunculuc]

❤ so great to watch how you slowly but consistently catch the feeling and flair of a mediterranean spearo as videos go by. Soo happy for you, Daniel! Im telling you, seeing the level you’ve reached, from this summer onwards you will enjoy spearfishing in Med much more than you used to 💪🏼 Cheers! Dive safe!

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Tunc, I feel like I finally started to get it all a bit better this summer. Can’t wait for the next adventure.

[@alexkaragiannis7078]

This is one of the most beautiful and underrated islands in Greece and so many other in Ionian Sea you can see all of them with in a week ❤❤❤ I’m glad you loved it Daniel

[@manosdimitroulakis3060]

Dimos is a great spearfisherman and Its great knowing that tow of the best of their country know it's other!

[@Andygeofri]

An unguided dive in unfamiliar territory always yields the tastiest fish!

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Amazing video. The ending with the cook up had me mouth watering that looked absolutely delicious. SO keen to explore some more of the med 😍

[@DanielMann]

Thanks mate, looking forward to a dive together when this weather stops being so biblical!

I really look forward to seeing your videos. Again well done and thoroughly enjoyed. Keep up the good work and enjoy all life has to offer

[@DanielMann]

Cheers Dave 💪

[@bradsmith9496]

Great stuff. Bought back memories of my honeymoon on Zakynthos in 1992. Had a couple of dives and was shocked at how few fish I saw compared to Australia.

[@DanielMann]

Must have been loads more fish there in 92’ compared to 22’ though. Australia certainly has a lot of fish life but the challenge isn’t as big there I find.

[@gamalielcollazo2770]

Always pleasant watching you dive. You two take care and continue bringing us great footage.

I really enjoy how you compose your films and your colour grading etc. glad you got the drone back hope it wasn’t too damaged

[@DanielMann]

Heading back with a big inverted roller next time 💪

[@ViktorAmosBelin]

Congrats on catchin the greek meet. I heard that it it very tough to fish down there cause of too clear water. I see at your video that u can see the bottom on 30 meters and more. Fish must be smart out there. Out here in adriatic sea when its clear like that... The fish burns out before u see it 🤣. Luv to see your videos Daniel. Stay safe and good luck on the championship 💪😁

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Viktor, it can be very difficult in Greece but also very rewarding if you do catch something.

[@MegaEvoluzione]

Fantastic video Mr Mann. A bit sad to see you go from our waters, Thank you for the amazing work. We shore divers live the sea through your videos 👌

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Alex, already planning the next visit!

[@pierrejoubert5045]

As an expat/spearo, youre clips are very motivational. Keepem coming!

I agree, hopefully next year we can make it happen.

[@gazzabyerun8152]

Awesome, thank you for sharing!

[@panathasg13]

Wow! You know Demos :) Great Spearfisher he is!

[@ImpactZoneSpearfishing]

Congrats on your solo greek fish mate! very cool to see the way that ORCA gun tracked through the water when you did the old "cant decide which to shoot" movement haha! Also quite cool to see the way you cooked that amberjack, id be very interested in doing the same with our WA Samson fish and kingfish to see how it goes!

[@DanielMann]

Definitely a double take and panic moment on the shot! Would be fantastic to do one a smaller fish actually. I did it with a 15kg kingfish in NZ and it was divine.

[@pierre6182]

Fantastic video, amberjack are definetely the best tasting fish in the Med

[@DanielMann]

I was really surprised about how nice this fish was to eat. We don’t shoot them very often in Australia but definitely will if I return there.

[@TheDadFaxs]

Congratulations and good luck in the tournament can't wait to see your next video

Love the Vids Dan. So good! Bit of a shame how the fishery seems so poorly managed. Scenery and location looks amazing! I'm a little bit jealous :D

[@Spearfishingmoments]

Bravo for the AJ my friend. I lost a huge one a month ago over 40kg. Miscalculated the distance cause of clear water and size

[@ascend9327]

Awesome video as always brother

[@odoacredacalcutta5085]

I have so much respect for you. I've always held the aegean as a sea you need to be able to stay 4 minutes 30 metres deep to catch something but I'm so happy to be proven wrong !

[@DanielMann]

Sometimes a little bit of luck helps 🙂

Thanks Stathis, I think amberjacks are a bit of luck to be honest.

[@MarioSpearfishing]

Stunning video and great catch!

[@DanielMann]

Grazie Mario!

[@theessexhunter1305]

Looking good Daniel, bit of a side story but seeing you disappear down to the depths reminded me of a liverboard many years ago with a previous girlfriend. As a non diver I would take her before lunch time so had surfaced early to sort the kit out....She was sleeping so when I work her up she was not ready and a bit grumpy. So I left her be! A few bubbles coming back to the boat, mask fins and a light weight belt I got down to the 10m mark grabbed the guides spare reg and we went for a 20 min cruise lol She was look for me around the boat....then was even more gurmpy when I came back as she was worried lol

[@snowbank9386]

Great area. Question: what brand of gopro mask do u use? Any updated mask? Thanks, stan

[@DanielMann]

I don't use any GoPro mask, just the head strap. Using an Omer Wolf mask now too. Really sensational mask.

[@Kuliwa]

I'm a spearo noob, just when I'm on vacation where it is allowed. That amberjack was fucking amazing to me, looks far more desireable as a Dentex. An that from shore, on a total self organized dive, must have felt so great. So looking forward to the Finland videos!

That fish made my mouth water! In South Africa we call them Geelstert or Yellowtail, delicious!

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Heinrich. This is very similar to yellowtail but a slightly different species. They actually grow over 80kg! Yellowtail are Seriola lalandi and this greater amberjack is Seriola dumerili - unashamed fish nerd here 🤣

Congratulations for that amberjack! It's probably my favourite eating fish...those groupers are so quick they can sidestep shafts! Yesterday I got one I would've sworn headshot and ended up hitting it in the side. Really quick. A very similar shot to yours btw.

Nice AJ Daniel. Done right it’s one of my favourite fish to eat 😊

[@DanielMann]

Cheers Kev, wish I knew what the pargo was like in comparison 😎

[@KevinDaly]

@@DanielMann I would love to shoot a decent one. Only very very rarely see them up in Cro.

[@muratmustafa4532]

Very nice video. Flashlight is a must in Med. Sea. if you will be going after those groupers. Just one tip, when they "rush" into their caves do not follow them as you will have little no chance to see them in there even with a flashlight. When they "rush" in they tend to deep in their caves. If they calmly "cruise" in, there is a chance that they will not go deep, even they hand in the entrance of their cave and sometimes put their heads out from the cave a little to see you. If they "rush" in, just go up, wait 10-20 minutes and dive towards to the cave, there is a good chance you will see it hanging around at the entrance from the cave. Try to approach the cave from back or from somewhere where it can not see you coming.

[@costantinoneri3057]

Dan I sailed around Greece for 3 months this summer... Not much fish over there in reachable depths... Although I did get tons of lion fish, everyone I made them try were left stunned! Such a great fish but so bad for the environment... Win win! Greece is overly visited which makes fishing difficult and very often dangerous...

[@DanielMann]

It’s certainly a tough place to dive but very rewarding once you do finally get something for dinner.

[@andykalin6526]

Great content, very inspiring!

[@alexleve1604]

Danny all grouper types in Greece are legal above 2kgs. Since they banished sportfishing lisences its difficult to find that type of info but you can visit a port authority or some such. The Goldbloch was probably 2+ but be weary when they are borderline.

[@DanielMann]

Thank you! I replace my head strap every year or so as the elastic goes in them. I also tuck the strap under my snorkel so you can never lose it. I have a video here showing the technique kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3eZmGiFaJilkKs
