First day was the hardest

Great work

good on ya mate, I'm a novis Diver, but I love being in the water, check out the Catlins at the moment... I'm yet to find a Paua, was diving in about 4m of water today saw about 3 small ones... Not sure where they are all hiding

Hey man I love your vids, just discovered your channel yesterday. I do the same exact stuff, but in California! It's really cool to see you getting out and diving over in the West Pacific. It's the same ecosystem there as CA basically, with the same animals too. Our crays are called CA spiny lobster, and our Pauas are not greenlip, but the green abalone haha, almost the same name. Sadly the abalone season closed indefinitely in CA after 2018 so I don't have any videos of me picking abalone.

closed? I thought you could take 3 a day. Mabey 3 was too much, too many people diving for them huh? the same will probably happen here eventually. Or mabey they'll just put heaps more restrictions on where you can get them.

Awesome video bro 👌 safety first 🙏 🤿🌅

Be cool to dive with you bro I'm in Christchurch

I got two without put my head into the water :) I`ll try dive in shallow water this summer. Not a good swimmer

Alot of seals ny the tunnel there breading ground is up the hill across the road

Thanks for the motivation. Unlike you I ended giving up as it has just quashed so much of my energy that I find that it is not worth it. Good job for persevering!! I caught 1 though from the previous day.

yeah doesn't always work out with success though, as you know, sometimes the dive is just a fail, and you have to know when to pack up and call it quits. Back in 2019 when I was first starting diving, geez I had a LOT of unsucessful dives.

Thanks for the advice. Don't give up keep trying

Kia Ora cuzzie just moved to invercargill from kaitaia if your down this way always looking for someone to dive with

Well done, perseverance paid off at the end there

I done the same, looked and looked and looked for Paua, I was diving at that same spot but earlier that morning on the low tide. Ended up heading back towards chch and found a spot (eventually) that had nice size Paua I was aloud to take.

when you take less experienced people you might want to try to get them comfortable with just standing upright without kicking

Hey bro I saw u again on Tuesday up in kaikoura
