Heads up everyone there is a rahui from martins bay to Cape rodney imposed by local iwi as there is a search on for a young mans body. Believe it is all along the front of kawau too for those looking at scallop sessions.

Spear crazy, do you know if the imposed rahui has a timeframe up until one can redive those areas? Or is it an indefinite request, until they either find the body or they decide to call it off?

Ugh. Nothing by my hand... First 90 mins couldn't dive - sinus was excruciating - even down at 2m. Felt like my eye was going to explode. Missed a ky from the surface with a rushed shot, got bored so went to shallows. Buzzed by a school of huge fat ky in 4m. Was so busy looking for what might be chasing them, by the time I decided to take one for the smoker, they were gone. Nooooooo. Plenty of JM's around - rat kingy bolted when it spotted me - JM's weren't worried by it at all.   Olenz did well... As he usually does. Mussels, 3 ky and a couple of Crays.

FYI, the rahui is from Snells Beach to Martins Bay. I spoke to the lady at the Leigh dairy who called a member of the Omaha Marae and got confirmation of the rahui location.

I cruised around Kawau a bit over the weekend. 

Sadly, the excellent scallie spot at Beehive Island in 6 m of water was all dead. Hardly a live scallie, plenty of dead ones, only got one or two legal ones. Lots of other dead shellfish also on the bottom, so looks environmental not from plundering by us. Dived a few other scallie locations but only ended up with 5 for the day. Pretty sad. 

Redeemed myself with 3 nice pannies from my trusty Snapper spot using the 3 prong. A couple of bigger ones seen but not speared.  Lots there, as usual, on the reef which gets some good current.

My 7 y/o was keen on a spearfish, so I followed him around for 2 hours in <16 degree water while he chased and chased fish. 

On the Sunday I took him to Takatu to try for a butterfish. After another 2 hours he got a red moki which I'll smoke tonight.


He is pretty manic on smashing fish and refused to admit he was cold, despite him shuddering and shaking.

I swam out to the cleaning station while there was still a little bit of current left, viz about 6-8 m. Dived several times to find it exactly, and when I did a small (legal) kingy was hanging around in the weak current. I hid in the weed and he came in really close.  I smashed him so hard with the gat-ku I was able to just grab him.   Mmmnnom nnnom nnnom kokoda in my tummy. Saw one later about 10 kg which was uninterested in me. 

It's certainly not very warm out there.

Yeah I dived around Kawau in the weekend. I found the water clear and fishy. I found this guy on my second descent. Was a top weekend although I concur the scallop beds are all looking pretty scant this season with dead empty shells on the beds.

Hey guys, I'm heading up your way tomorrow to collect a boat a mate and I are buying. We are looking at giving her a good sea trial. I'm based in Marlborough (We are lucky to get 10m Viz) and have never dived the North Island before so looking for some advise with sea condition as I know how important local knowledge is. The boat we are buying is a 6m lazercraft Hardtop so should be able to handle a fair bit of a beating. We will be up there for Friday/Sat/Sunday, I would love to try to get out the great barrier, Mokes or Hen and chickens, we are  flexible where we dive but would like to try a good spot to spear our first snapper,JD and boary! I would much appreciate any helpful info and it goes without saying that I am more than happy to return the favour if you're ever down in Marlborough.

Had itchy feet and decided to dive Ti for a look this arvo.

Seafriends was calling it 4-8 meters viz. Spent half an hour in the water with 1 meter viz, 1.5 hazy out wider no more, but crappy all round. Worst viz I've ever had there. Nearly shat myself when I had a ray 1.5 meters in diameter sneek up on me and literally glide over my back. Yep, I jumped and it bolted hard
