SaltLife front page of Yahoo news!



This video was just on the front page on Yahoo! How amazing is that?
This footage was shot while we were in Fiji this year and the Dogtooth Tuna footage is now my most famous footage so I'm really excited and to be in the video as well! I'll happily ride the coattails of Mark any day. Pretty awesome and shows the difference when a professional film crew puts videos together what is possible. Now we can work on a video for our Dogtooth tuna fishing shirt. Ha!

Healey is an animal but one of the most well spoken guys out there. Insane video, huge coverage for the sport of Spearfishing and SaltLife as well to be right there in front of millions. This is the kind of media coverage we need! I know I should have combed my hair but its good to see the SALTLIFE in a couple of frames on here!

The Waterlust Project | For The Love Of Water

Do you Live the Salt Life?

A group led by University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science graduate student Patrick Rynne has set out to change the way scientists disseminate their work to the world. The effort, dubbed The Waterlust Project, is a film project aimed at inspiring a broad audience to consider their relationships with water. Teaming up with GoPro, the manufacturer of the world's most popular action sports camera called the Hero, Rynne hopes to show scientists that making their own films is not only relatively easy, but critical to broadening the impact of their work.

Water covers most of the planet and is vital to our existence. From drinking water to coastal waters used for recreational purposes, everyone has a link to water. The Waterlust Project attempts to connect and educate through this common bond.

“As a marine scientist I've noticed a reluctance by some to embrace film as a legitimate outlet for their work. But why shouldn’t it be?” asks Rynne. “We’re not trying to say that scientific papers and posters aren't important; they serve a definite purpose. But these outlets mostly reach people that already care about what we do. The challenge is how to inspire a wider group of people that don’t already care… that’s the key.“

Crazy NEW Spearfishing DVD!!

Hey Salt Lifers,

Check out the new spearfishing trailer from the makers of One Fish released today. Love it. This film includes 5 years of breathtaking stock footage. Starting the journey deep within the abundant waters of Qatar where Mohammed shoots monster fish like Amberjack, and Cobia. Then to the vibrant blue waters of Inhaca Island where Mohammed meets up with Chris Coates and the ITZ team for an adventure of a lifetime in search of that 'Onefish'. Diving the deep blue Marlin grounds and the famed Baxio Donae reef, to some secret far Northern reefs. This is spearfishing that dreams are made of. When you're done checking it out, be sure to surf over to SaltLife.com and view our diving shirts.
