Mikhail Kuznetsov speafishing Miami videos

Likewise, thanks for posting Dan. Impressive red grouper and it's always nice to get a legal mutton on a shore dive.

It is not my intention to criticize the diver in the video, but in my opinion the guns muzzle should never be behind the diver's head. Perhaps it is only go pro angle that makes it look like thats where the muzzle is, and If I am wrong forgive me.

I have seen the muzzle hold recommended for stealth diving with larger guns in other videos, but I don't think its safe. There is too much risk of an accidental discharge, which could be fatal. Spearguns are just as dangerous as firearms, and should never be pointed at something you don't intend to shoot.

You are VERY wrong. It's a matter of perspective. Mikhail is one of the most expert divers I have seen (and I have seen a lot, both in person and videos). He would not make any unsafe move.

Good hunting and clear water!

I don't know Mikhail at all, and I was not attempting to discredit him, just trying to point out what looked to me to be an unsafe position for the gun. As I said in my post, it could very well be the angle of the camera, or the gun is big enough for it not to be an issue.

The muzzle hold is not uncommon. I have seen it taught in instructional videos on other sites, but if the tip of a loaded gun is under your chin it is potentially deadly.
