Went out on another lesson to increase my brail skills yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised to find vis of up to 10m. We were amazed by the abundance of life where we were, the crays were in the open was almost to easy, paua in the masses and moki everywhere! 

Also of note found my first packhorse cray and saw a decent 6kg plus snapper in close just behind the swell but it was to fast for me evidently.

Luckily had a warm 3 month old double brown box to celebrate! 

thats a mean haul. crays and pauas look decent

pourere is bloody good at the moment too

do you dive off a boat or shore dive ?

Nice!  It's good to hear that guys are getting out in the Bay.

did you manage too catch the packhorse cray

We should make this a nice repository for Hawkes Bay dive stories/conditions/any other HB dive related matter. JamesHB has done a great job starting it off, now I shall try and add merit to the HB forum.

Pretty nice conditions all round atm, too bad its meant to turn to poos tomorrow.

Sure did, I put it back however. I felt guilty taking it as it was a loner and ridiculously easy to get, and we already had a good feed of reds.

Im heading down the coast today for a dive and to get some more video footage for my next you tube video.
