Went down to Kaikoura for the day on Sat, females still in berry but males are going into soft shell, managed 7 between us and some very impressive paua.The Clarance was pumping with snow melt ... so things are looking good for Nov trip eggs will be gone and males should have shead by then.

Can't wait to be honest.. Lis is being my test pilot for me teaching someone to freedive from scratch... getting it together, got a good basic plan now.Not perfect but we'll get through.

Cabin booked :thumbup:

Not long now.

I attempted to teach a neighbor to spearfish - the poor sod ended up chucking through his snorkel...

Its an eye opener to see what newbies cant tolerate

Currently i can just hold my breath long enough to get my next breath and walking down stairs and up necessitates 10min couch time trying to catch my breath. Bloody chest infection.

Hopefully i should be back up to my usual ten seconds by Nov

I would have thought a smart man like you would have ambushed (your breath) it at the top of the stairs.

Smart Arse

I feel like a kid waitng for Xmas... so close .. so far away... looking at heading down to kaikoura for a reccy over labour weekend. Will file a report if I do. wish the bloody weather would settle so I can get some bottom time in.

I remember felling sick first time . I might have seen myself in mirror , wetsuit was two sizes two small . Sight for sore eyes . No serous did fell sick , think was motion and anxiousness about what would encounter . Was whale bay in kaiks , got such a fright when put mask in water as vis was 20 mts I reacon , didn't want to see that far , ha ha wish it was that good now !

Oh yeh bring on kaiks dive trip

Just got back from there. Got about 15 odd Crays between us and a ton of fish. Bloody hot up there!
