How does this video not have 10 million views?!?!? This is so much better that what you can find on any documentary on TV. Thank you for your passion and dedication to the trip, the spearfishing/ diving, and most importantly, filming and editing it so beautifully for us to enjoy!

[@gptballa228]

The hammerheads scene and really just the overall footage in this was just absolutely insane and mind blowing. Loved ever single second of this video. Thank you for the amazing film David and safe hunting

[@alphakay3917]

Felt like I was watching a new viral discovery channel look alike

[@envish3477]

I am confused, how do you have only 11.5K followers having presented such an epic film? Well done

[@flipspearing]

With KZbin flooded with spearfishing and fishing videos, yours are absolute gems mate. Even watching these videos are an experience, can’t imagine how good it must be in person. 🤙

[@david_ochoa]

Thank you sooo much Blake! These are special experiences for me and I try to translate them into these little stories but they come short when compared to the real experience. Appreciate the kind words ✌️

[@skab111]

Legendary adventure! The fact that you managed to film the best shot so closely and so accurately is a blessing. Thank you for sharing!!

[@david_ochoa]

Ah thank you so much! Really appreciate it! It is always a challenge to film this as they go but it is a blessing to be a part of these trips! Working hard to publish a lot more to come soon!

[@skab111]

@@david_ochoa great to hear - looking forward :)

[@MajicSho]

I’m more of a Jigging person yet I respect Big Doggies more than Large GTs and any other fish in the ocean! Thanks for sharing and so glad I caught this video live.

[@david_ochoa]

Thank you so so much for having watched it live! Really appreciate it! I will do some future stories with jigging and popping as well!

[@mrcrankyank]

Incredible video man, stunning place!

[@david_ochoa]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!

[@franciscombsousa]

Oh man. The quality, the scenery, the music, the story...chills

[@david_ochoa]

Muito obrigado Chico! Now let's get on that podcast 😂

[@danieljonesadventures2181]

I was gripping my chair right at the end when the line broke. It’s the most devastating feeling. What an amazing documentary, so raw and pure.

[@genwealth9270]

The editing is immaculate. It resonates peacefulness, passion, and true craftsmanship on what you do. Outstanding 👏🏼

[@torgeirmoen2805]

As a cinematographer... This film is 10/10. A lot of epic shots and very good color editing. Best "cinema" spearfishing vid out there. Keep uploading stuff like this

[@david_ochoa]

Thank you so much Torgeir. Really appreciate the feedback. I have so many of these trips on the hard drives. It's sad they are not all out there. Will try to put more time into these edits this coming year🙏

[@JamesKirkaldy]

Stunning video! When I was in Zanzibar 18 years ago they were already saying “You must go to Latham…”!!!

[@david_ochoa]

Thank you so much man! I can only imagine this spot 18 years ago!

[@grantpierce2014]

The fact that there are only 14.7k subscribers to your channel is such a shame. Not only are these videos high quality, but you have the true talent of a story teller. Honestly, incredible footage and an even better storyline. Felt like a movie. Cheers mate.

[@david_ochoa]

Ah man thank you so much! I have long way to figure this KZbin thing out. I haven't published much though. I'm preparing all my content to start putting it all out there this coming year and see what happens. Thanks a lot for the kind words. Really appreciate it🙏

[@adamduff3210]

Beautiful cinematography, great narration & awesome diving. This is a piece of art not just a spearfishing clip. Epic

[@gonza-fish5280]

[@david_ochoa]

Oh man that means a lot! I will try to get a bunch more of these episodes out there! I have so much footage from all over the world. It just sucks that it takes so much time to edit these! Ahah

Absolutely epic, I’m in the azores watching this video and amazed. I landed a doggie in Indonesia and the power they have is incredible. You may have lost the fish and a system but the memories are with you and your friends for life!

[@david_ochoa]

Oh that's awesome. The Azores is a very special place! Hope you enjoy it! I've also had a very good time in Indo chasing doggies. These fish are incredible and you are right. At the end of the day, the stories and the good times are what matters.

[@david_ochoa]

Ah man thank you so sooo much! This means a lot coming from you. It looked like a very distant/unattainable dream a long time ago, you know when. Still far from where I wanna be but it has been a fun journey. Apologies for taking 8 months to get back on this one. I'm so bad at this stuff 😂 Let's go have dinner soon!
