SpearFactor Spearfishing Podcast

In this episode, I speak with Kellen Parrish of Ocean Cowboy Outfitters. Kellen and I discuss his time spent in the Peace Corps and his experiences diving up in the cold dark waters of the Northern Pacific where hiking to your spot is a way of life. This led him to develop a spearfishing specific backpack for long hikes into dive spots . Check out more from Kellen @kellenlp and his spearfishing backpack at @oceancowboyoutfitters . .

In this episode, I speak with Josh Humbert. Josh is truly a fascinating person. He is a photographer, a pearl farmer who owns Kamoka Tahitian Pearls, and also a recent shark attack survivor. Josh lives on the Ahe atoll in French Polynesia where he primarily focuses on his family and their business. On the Ahe atoll, resources are limited so a majority of the time is spent diving and fishing for food. During one of these times, Josh was bit on the leg by a reef shark. Josh shares all the details of the shark attack, and the lessons learned from it with us. Check out more from Josh @joshhumbert and his Tahitian Pearls @kamokapearl  . .

In this episode, I speak with Manuel Maendel from the HEART Search and Recovery nonprofit organization. Manny shares with us both his personal story and the story of HEART. This episode differs from other Spearfactor episodes because it is less focused on spearfishing and more focused on finding lost items and people underwater. We discuss the equipment that he uses from divers to robots, and the techniques to search in the most difficult underwater environments. The reason why I decided to share this episode was because I thought that the knowledge shared about sonar and other equipment could potentially help others in the future if they ever found themselves looking for a piece of equipment or even a dive buddy. Tip: Always get the best last know position you can get so there is a good starting point.

In this episode, Ollie Craig from Primal Pursuit is back with us. Since the last time I had Ollie on the show, his brand has continued to grow as well as his adventures. The thing I like most about his YouTube content is that he glorifies the environment and the fish he hunts, not himself. He has continued to grow his following and locations where he's hunting to include remote areas of Fiji and the Solomon Islands. You can find Ollie on IG at @ollie_craig and his brand @primal_pursuit_nz www.primalpursuit.co.nz/. . 100% Online Spearfishing Course https://waypointtv.com/watch/spear-factor-spearfishing-101-course Or at  www.spearfishingmentor.com This podcast is a part of the Waypoint TV Podcast Network. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

Today's guest is Mr. Ray Powell from DiveR calling in from Australia. Ray shares with us his background in diving and how he got into making fins in the first place. He also talks about fin innovations such as different materials and foot pockets, and where he thinks the market is going. We discuss other things as well, such as deaths in spearfishing, and his experiences getting the Bends while freediving deep. Ray and I talk about having him back on the show because we realize there is quite a few topics that we didn't get to discuss like the artwork on his fence, so be sure to look for for that.

Everyone welcome back to the SpearFactor Spearfishing Podcast. Today guests are Quinn and Zach from the San Diego Breakfast Club. Now the SD Breakfast Club really isn't a dive club at all, but It's actually a group chat for about 70 divers. They are holding a contest on November 19 to lobster contests and how it works says the lobster are going to be donated to father Joe's village to help those less fortunate during the Thanksgiving time. We also talk about their experiences as they got into spearfishing with overcoming fears and challenges when starting out. I hope you enjoy their story and this episode. Don't forget to enjoy in on the contest!

In this episode, we have Jon Stenstrom, a returning guest on the podcast, to talk a little bit about how he got started being an entrepreneur, and turning his passion into a business. He talks about his experiences, trying to grow his brand @castandspear in the Spearfishing/fishing industry, and some of the things he encountered and lessons he learned. We also discussed the culture of spear fishing in Southern California, and how it differs from the rest of the planet. Specifically, we talk about the unspoken rules within our own community of Southern California such as spot burning and the dos and don'ts to social media posts. This was a long episode but I hope you will find it interesting and insightful.

This episode of Spearfactor is with Brett Leable. Brett is heavily involved in the world of competitive freshwater Spearfishing, and recently finished participating as a boat driver for the freshwater world competition at Lake Powell. Brett shares with us his journey from Wisconsin where he cut his teeth, spearfishing the great lakes to where he's at today. Additionally, we discuss an incident that he was involved in two years ago where a diver was propped and killed. Brett shares in great detail the tragic events of that day. This event was extremely eerie especially because I was out the same day and I heard the call over the radio. I think the biggest take away from our conversation was that everyone plays a role in safety especially out on the water. Thank you Brett for sharing your story with us and everyone please be safe out there.

In this episode, I speak with San Diego diver, Tracy Wittmeier. Tracy is as passionate about diving as you could be. She also has the pending Women's World Record for Bluefin tuna, landing a 196 pound beast. Tracy and her dive partner Matt, a local charter boat captain, spend their time diving in San Diego and down in Baja shooting grouper. They are quite the spearfishing duo. Besides spending time in the water, Tracy is also an officer in the Navy where she was a pilot before switching over to physical therapy. I feel that Tracy is a great role model for women of all ages both in and out of the water.  Get in touch with Tracy @tracywittmeier This podcast is a part of the Waypoint TV Podcast Network. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

In this episode I speak with Swiss inventor Philip Maechler from Provitatec. We discussed the invention of the Sens07vest recovery device design to rescue blackout divers. The Sens07vest is a fully automatic and electronic emergency floating device designed to get freedivers and spearfishers back to the surface in case the diver is too long or too deep underwater - or if a shallow water blackout is detected. The Sens07vest turns an unconscious person on his back to keep his airways clear. Philip goes over his inspiration for the product and the developmental process from the first prototype to what it is now. He also covers how the vest functions, and the similarities and differences between previous models of this device. Philip also gave Spearfactor listeners a 10% discount on the vest itself which was already almost half of the freediving Recovery vest developed by legendary diver Terry Maas.  Goto: www.provitatec.com Put in promo code: SPEARFACTOR10 for the 10% discount.

I can't say enough about this man. He's like a character in a movie, more specifically a character that we want to be like. Phonebooth and I met through some mutual friends from Guam. I didn't know much about him including his real name, but I soon realized that none of that really mattered. He's the guy that yells "WHAT'S UP!!!!" at the top of the boat ramp at 5:00 in the morning. You know, the attitude that you wish everyone had before heading offshore including yourself. Phonebooth is a perfect example of Island style. Full of love and very light hearted, he loves to travel light and hunt big. He often rolls solo but quickly makes friends as he dials in new places. I have really enjoyed our adventures together and hearing about some of his solo adventures chasing down big fish in Baja. I hope to enjoy this episode as much as I did making it!

Today I spoke with Tim Andrews from www.highperformancediving.com and we discuss some deep diving techniques and tips as well as the famous Great White Shark encounter off of the coast of Hawaii. This encounter was so popular because the world's largest Great White Shark, Deep Blue, was seen eating a dead whale while other divers swam with it. This shark named Deep Blue was estimated to be between 20 and 21 feet in length. In closing, Tim says that he is going to culinary cook in order to learn how to make trash fish not taste like trash.
