It's the Monday after spearing off Beavertail National Park in Rhode Island, USA and I wake up to a new Primal Pursuit video from Ollie Craig. Awesome!

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Happy your liking them mate!

[@michaelmercer2440]

The best in NZ.

Ive watched close to all of your videos on both of my accounts. I don't usually comment but you're genuinely on of my favourite youtubers. I've definitely found a love for spearfishing compared to fishing with my rod because as you've said "You love it because you can be selective with what you catch". I just recently bought a wetsuit and will buy the rest of the equipment soon too. I'm in South Africa, so we have great whites and a ton of seals here so I'm a little nervous spearfishing here but if I die, at least I died doing what I really wanted to do lol

[@Kahawai68]

Nice to see you in our area. Hope you like it.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Nice, we are headed out kayak camping for a few days in N. California. Lots of seals, not sure we'll get anything but it's fun.

Great footage

There we go.

[@martingoodef811]

Ollie don’t say hello to rays, danger. At mating season they will attack, I know from personal experience. Steve Irwin also died from one piercing his heart. Beautiful snapper, good eating size. Surprised you were concerned about the seals as I’ve seen you spearing kingfish amidst many sharks all around you! Respect man! Thanks again, great dive trip, pity about the vis. 🤙😎

[@bazman7255]

I was thinking too you forgot the lemon. So hungry now

[@fixatomato]

Love this Old vid bro. Nice work. But coriander? Why wreck a beautiful wrap? 😂

[@KiwiKaimoana]

How come the videos don't premiere anymore?I like the premieres better, you get the kind've countdown to when it's coming out, and when it comes out you have to watch it live for the duration of the video, so there are often other people in the chatbox watching too. When I do a big video I like the do a premiere. Would love if if you went back to doing them.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Will think about doing some more premiers in the future

[@TH-cl5be]

coriander dont no how ya can handle it , am sitting here watching and thats all i can taste lol

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Some people do have a gene I believe that makes it taste like soap. Lucky for me it tastes great!

[@petrosntaoulis8841]

How is your speargun so smooth? It seems as if it has no kick and is also quiet.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Roller gun with 14mm bands 👌

[@ArbyCreations]

Do you guys have lots of Great White spottings? The area I live in has so many lately that people are avoiding quite a few areas. In the past we had the odd one and there was an attack on a surfer every couple of years, but lately they have moved up the coast and are all over the place in my local waters. I would love to get into spearing, but the sharks along with pretty low fish numbers makes for something I would rather avoid.

[@jamesr5741]

Are they following the fishing boats?

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

only in certain areas of the country. predominantly the very top and very bottom

[@ArbyCreations]

@@jamesr5741 No, we have a really strange thing in South Africa at the moment with Great Whites, they used to mainly be in the Cape Town area, but then they just disappeared for a few years from there. A couple of theories are around food source dwindling, but there were also two Orcas named Port and Starboard who were hunting the big sharks and eating their liver. Im not sure if its coincidence but the Great Whites now lurk about 200km up the coast from where Port and Starboard have been spotted. Unfortunately that is bang in the middle of where I live!

[@irneskajtezovic2357]

please tell me how you take care for safty while diving alone.thnx

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Common sense in general but lots of things including a few Freediving courses

[@jaxfishings2617]

Hey Ollie what sort of drone do you use? I also want to get one for my diving videos. You definitely are my inspiration

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Dji mini mate great little drones

[@skinz1234]

SO COOL!!! this is the life i want :) Is it dangerous to just jump in the water to dive? Do you even think about sharks because i never see you look behind you lol IM NEW TO SNORKELING and from the USA ATLANTIC COAST are sharks something I should be scared about ?

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Everywhere in the world in different. Not very dangerous in the places I dive

[@skinz1234]

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit thanks for your quick reply and sorry to hold up your adventures :) But how do i know if its safe is my question? is there a way to know before jumping in the water or while in the water? What makes your area safe?
