Spearfishing Hawaii Dive Bomb Uhu and Teaching New Spearo

We're looking for Uhu aka Blue Parrotfish for some of the healthcare workers that are working long hours during the coronavirus outbreak. We talk about how and when to use the dive bomb technique to target certain species of fish. We're also taking new diver Zach for a lesson and talk a lot about the common mistakes that new divers make and what you can do to correct them. If you like this video please give it a thumbs up and leave a comment about what you want to see next!

Ryan I’m glad that you’re embracing our life styles and culture, and that you’re still saying “man-a-pachi” lol and embracing our language and speaking it quite well. Your videos are pretty informative especially for a novice beginner, keep it up aloha, Eddie.

[@RyanMyersExpeditions]

thanks Eddie I appreciate that! definitely trying to fix the man-a-pachi lol!

[@CreatorPranks]

I definitely think youre gonna make it big on youtube!! So stoked I wokeup and got to see your video🤙🏼

[@steven__7009]

Would love a video about how you trained to become better at breathing, how you hold/maintain your breath and how you get acclimated to the depths

[@sinkphasefreediving8351]

This is such a great video for beginners! It’s awesome that you showed a beginner from a third person and pointed out what they could be doing better.

[@RyanMyersExpeditions]

thanks I'm glad you like it. hoping to make a lot more like this

[@mealaa03]

One of the best videos so far because the fact that you had a beginner with you actually made the video awesome for people watching, it gave you the opportunity to actually teach and critique an actual person, very informative and well put together in how you explained his mistakes. I know a lot of people will get a better understanding from this video for sure!!!! Good one

[@matsuno415]

Great instructional video! I love baked uhu. Well, I used to. But they are an integral part of the marine ecosystem. With their beaks, they are the few that can break down dead coral (that turn to sand) and also they eat algae that can smother smaller corals. So save da uhu!!

[@vmslrnesp]

This still true?

[@fridge.4834]

This is such a good video! I really appreciate how you break down your dives, as well as Zach's dives to give pointers and corrections. Your channel is going places for sure

Wish I coulda learned spearing in a location like that with experienced people as yourself. I learned in a few feet vis in the cold waters of California, and didn’t meet experienced spearos for months.

[@cameronprinkey5986]

Video Stop Yea this guy is so lucky. To be in clear water with actual exotic fish. Man I’m jealous

[@danielnoble1458]

Love the vids! Keep them coming. For some reason I have always been interested in the Hawaii culture and diving. Since I was younger I had all the spearfisbing media from Hawaii. Legends of the blue, Hawaii skindivers all 3 volumes. Great videos Ryan!

[@RyanMyersExpeditions]

I agree hawaii is one of the best places in the world!

[@edwardkamaka]

For All beginners learning to hold their breath longer should do it under close observation with a very experienced diver to watch for “SHALLOW WATER BLACKOUT”! It can be a very Deadly event if and when it happens, I unfortunately had two of my friends and fellow divers hav this happen to them, my friend Jarret in the ‘90s during a Coast Guard training break and Gene Higa in 2008, That’s why the old timers Always say “NEVER DIVE ALONE”! Not only that... but who ever you dive with must be well proficient in his or her capabilities of quickly spotting and reacting to their partners “Shallow Water Blackouts” and to quickly react to retrieve their partner and bring them up to the surface and may have to perform CPR. It’s also best to go with more than one other person but with a group of experienced divers, my uncle trained me as a little boy first to watch them dive by pulling the “pakini of fish” and fallowing them, a couple years later taught me to use the the old door hinge Hawaiian sling, then the 3 prong... then to the spearguns, and he always had a few other divers with him to assist if one of them had the “Shallow Water Blackout”, Two divers to assist a fellow diver in Distress should be the bare minimum. Holding your Breaths takes Practice, Patience, Conditioning and being Consistent (often), treat it as a Workout!

[@RyanMyersExpeditions]

Great advice I’ll make a video soon talking about blackout prevention and treatment and about my own blackout. Thanks!

[@DeepMiamiSpearFishing]

What awesome grounds. Zach did great overall. Nice advice as always I love that part of ur content. Unfortunately with those big blue uhu if u steam it sometimes it comes out like a rubber tire lmao I tend to shoot reds and on the smaller to medium size to avoid that. Also the dive bomb technique is used a lot by guys like me that cannot hold our breath long time haha again great content as always. Love it bro.

Dive bomb can definitely crush some groupers but I prefer to settle in and crawl over. Especially with your gags on the gulf. Thanks for the support like always! More coming soon!

[@willkopaciewicz7003]

Aloha, awesome video! Couple questions. Do you wear earplugs? I spearfish/paddle/surf on Oahu and have been bothered by constant ringing in my ear via the wind/deep dives. Also, how long are you holding your breath for on the average dive? Finally, I've broken several three-prongs by missing fish and hitting the reef/rock, how do you avoid that issue/ do you (or beginners you're with) come across that issue often?

[@RyanMyersExpeditions]

No, I don't wear any earplugs when diving but I use a wonderful rinse after diving that helps clean and prevent infections. it's 1 part distilled white vinegar to 1 part rubbing alcohol. let it sit in each ear for a few minutes and then drain and dry ears. average dive is less than 2 minutes. three prongs are kind of like spears, they're borderline disposable. the more you shoot the more they break. the nicer you buy will probably last longer. but I've actually never owned my own three prong. Thanks for the questions and thanks for watching!
