Nice one mate. I just about drowned in that channel when I was a kid - a big wave caught me and dragged me across the rock shelf, but I just managed to hang on before I got in the channel. Got pretty badly scrapped up by the barnacles. Never told my mum about that one.

Enjoyed the video. Welcome to the South. Viz is pretty much like that down here, it has to be pretty calm fir a number of days for better viz down this way. That is a fur seal by the way not a Sea Lion. Hope you enjoyed the paua, good size 👍

Thanks mate 👍

Enjoyed this vid, recently toured the south island with my dive kit. Hit bluff and Jackson Bay though the Caitlins looked inaccessible from where we were (nugget point). Got a few spots I'd like to return to and spend more time at.
