Spearfactor #80: Aleksander Nordahl, Ice Diver, Journalist, and Photographer
Episode 80: Aleksander Nordahl — Freediving, Storytelling, and Ice Diving Description: In this episode of the SpearFactor Podcast, Bret sits down with Aleksander Nordahl — Norwegian photojournalist, freediver, and lifelong storyteller — for a conversation about what happens when a career behind the lens collides with the silence of the underwater world. Aleksander shares how decades of journalism shaped the way he sees the ocean, the stories that pulled him beneath the surface, and how freediving became more than a discipline — it became a way of paying attention. We talk about the cold, dark waters of Norway, the mental craft of the breath-hold, the ethics of documenting wild places, and what divers can learn from journalists about patience, observation, and respect for the subject. Whether you're a spearo, a freediver, a photographer, or just someone drawn to the quiet places, Aleksander's perspective will leave you thinking differently about your next dive. Topics covered: Aleksander's path from photojournalism to freediving Diving the fjords and cold water of Norway Lessons from journalism that apply underwater The mental side of breath-hold diving Storytelling, ethics, and capturing the ocean honestly Advice for divers who want to document their own experiences Learn more about your ad choices.

Spearfactor #077: Josh Humbert, Pearl Farmer & Shark Attack Survivor
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 . .

Spearfactor #076: Manuel Maendel, Search & Recovery
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.
