I am sooo jealous!!! Amazing Bro !!!Bravo !!

[@benmorgan7016]

And another banger has been uploaded 💪🏼 I suppose we can take your word on spearing the snapper… cant wait for Australia videos! Thanks!

[@dimitriosstefanis9396]

Very enjoying the video!! Bravo Daniel and Friends for sharing. Always a pleasure seing your videos mate! Greetings from Mayorca Spain.

[@DanielMann]

Thank you Dimitrios!

[@CJtheThird]

King wrasse can be aggressive to new "additions" to fish tanks so as you were the new addition to the largest fish tank it probably got a bit frisky. Plus you had some food lol

[@brendanhuynh7984]

I always enjoy your videos

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Brendan!

[@danielpowers5946]

Love the videos man! Thanks for putting them out and taking us on the dives with you🤙 from Virginia Beach, VA

[@TheDadFaxs]

Quick little video but a fun one. That was a nice King fish.

[@DanielMann]

Perfect eating size.

[@Giannis_Agapitos]

Great visibility and nice fish!! It must be amazing to be able to spearfishing to all those different places. Take care Daniel!! Greetings from Greece!

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Giannis, it certainly is loads of fun spearfishing different countries.

[@megaconda07]

The timing and the conversation just makes @1:22 hilarious 😂 glad you had a great trip, look forward to your content from the rest of it.

Those highlights already show what an amazing time it’s been down there! Looking forward to watching the full thing on the tv this evening.

Hope you enjoy!

@@DanielMann @daniel Here's a potential solution to GoPros: DJI Osmo Action... Better audio, never overheats (probably not an issue in NZ, tho) and as a pro videographer I suspect you may even appreciate its colors more. Though granted, not sure of the battery time on them. Also, I have noticed over the years that sometimes you have an extra camera for your selfie-in-water-vlogging camera but sometimes you unscrew your head cam. You could consider making a quick release head strap, I did despite not vlogging. I think you'll find it extremely handy. I used a DJI quick release mount for mine but they aren't easy to find anylonger. Going from head cam to vlogging becomes a 3sec operation, literally. Basically, I cut off the GoPro lugs on the head strap and epoxied in the base mount of the DJI quick release. And yep, you can mount a GoPro on that mount, too. Let me know if you wanna know more and I'll dig out some pics of it.

[@DanielMann]

Thank you! I got the Osmo action 3 after this trip and I agree, much nicer camera to use. I considered 3D printing a quick release mount for the head strap but with the increasing size of GoPros/action cameras I didn’t want to add any extra bulk.

[@SBSpears]

@@DanielMann I may consider making a mount for my float to put let’s say another GoPro or osmo. Where in that case you could un clip it quickly for whatever reason.

[@AntiVaganza]

@@DanielMann way better audio on the last gen compared to similar gen GoPro when housed. Underwater white balance good down to 20m compared to GoPro’s lack of one. Smaller size with similar recording times. More than adequate image stabilization. What’s not to like:-) My Osmo 3 is on its way - hope to find that all the above is still true. As for bulk on the mount, the solution I touted doesn’t really add much if any. Maybe a few mm if you do the mod carefully. I’ll try to shoot a video of it in action and beep you up on Insta. For a proper creator/vlogger like you, I really think you’d be amazed with how well it works. As it is now, I imagine you often question whether the hassle of taking the cam off will be worth what you wanna say in the moment;-)

[@kenyoung5604]

Another great video, Daniel! Looking forward to The Australian adventures.

[@joachimklawe8639]

Another great video from D.M! Thanks for taking us (virtually) with you! I would appreciate if you could share some information about your diving conditions like water temperature and the wetsuit thickness you have chosen and the effects of your weighting and so on. But wait! Keep the great travel videos coming, and maybe you could do a "how to" video? 🙂

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Joachim, I was using a 7mm jacket with 5mm pants. I changed weights depending on the depth I was hunting.

[@dixee6498]

Another great episode Mr. Mann!

[@maxchaize1191]

hi Daniel love your videos

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Max!

[@craybro]

5:40 FYI it’s called a Sandaggers Wrasse and they love to be hand fed Kina and will even let you stroke them like you would a cat or dog

[@DanielMann]

That’s cool, we call them king wrasse in Australia and hardly ever see them that size.

[@Rrrrrr53436]

just checked yesterday for a new video the best❤️

[@johnholding5982]

Awesome! Hope you make it back down under soon!!

[@UKSpearo]

Who doesn't wear their flip flops like that right?! 🤣🤣 Awesome video dude that kingfish at the end was lovely 😎

[@jangilman916]

Should do some spearfishing on the wellington coast, from titahi bay (porirua), all the way around to Wellington south coast, if you want to take in the sites drive around the wairarapa coast, great diving and spearfishing. But awesome to see aotearoa being put on the map for something other than rugby. Love the content

[@DanielMann]

Will have to do a bit more south of Auckland next time. For a geographically small country there is so much to see!

[@jangilman916]

@@DanielMann yes bro or even north of Auckland in the far north is good scenery and diving

[@kenturkington4695]

Cheers Daniel pleased you got some diving in here during winter , dam go pros actually all camera gear causes problems in the wild hope you're making some coin from your videos to cover some cost,,get back down there ..lol

Dan, you make the best freedive spearfishing video's. Ironic that you're not that good at spearfishing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyway thanks, loved the video 👈

[@carlhescornish]

Are there are species in UK that groundbaits can be used to attract ?? Seems like an efficient way to hunt 🤔 Good video again.. Short but entertaining

[@DanielMann]

I’ve never tried it in the U.K. but I don’t think there would be many that would go for it. Perhaps Gilthead bream maybe.

You should go to lake Taupo and get some brown bullhead catfish because they are so easy to spear and they are pests so no license needed but do t shoo trout thats illegal

[@seannz2348]

The Wrasse wanted her to crack open the kina for a feed they like when you do that for them

Noted!

[@ArbyCreations]

Lol you can tell a New Zealander told you the name of the Domino Damsels you saw, for some weird reason they pronounce it demasel which is entirely incorrect. It seems every NZ spearo I see on KZbin says that.

[@DanielMann]

Not sure it’s entirely incorrect. Fish base refers to it as. demoiselle. www.fishbase.se/summary/Chromis-dispilus.html

[@ArbyCreations]

@@DanielMann I stand corrected then, I took some time to compare the Domino Damsel I mentioned and the Demoiselle and while they look very similar, the dot placement is different. After years of having tanks in South Africa it really looked like the same fish.
