Black rock, just over the hill from St Claire.  Just walk north from the parking area and swim off the rocks - Butter/blue cod abundant.  Most of the other spots is off shore at the islands - Green Isaland white island.  Shag bay and Karetane is also good, but about an hour's drive to the north.  Call me 07 576 0460

Anyone know of a regular Moana pool FREEDIVING meet-up, training group or the like in Dunedin? For people wanting to improve their spearfishing, kaimoana gathering, training for something else and keen for some social atmosphere.

It's called underwater hockey! :) On Thursdays and Sundays. If you ever come up north, I'm in Oamaru now. Dived Moeraki lighthouse yesterday and got a good haul of green bone, moki and paua. Would have been better if I did not have to spend 40 minutes retrieving my RA out of the kelp! Water was clean and warm, but that could have just been the new 7.5mm top! Saw heaps of kahawai and quite good sized salmon in schools. Contact kelvin Milne as he is organizing the SI champs for the 4Th Feb. pm me and I will forward you the details.

Murdering beach, just north of Aramoana is a good spot for Blue Moki and Butters. A very popular surf beach so you would have to wait for the right conditions. Managed to dive there about 2 years ago and saw big schools of blue moki. Just a matter of picking out the big ones. Amazing sight with the butters flying around as well. Dive to the left at Murdering by the point which leads around to Long Beach. Great spot and lots of fun. Provided there is no swell like the day I went out, the vis was 8-10 metres and very fishy. Hope this helps.

I was successful recently at Shag Point, just before the gate, to the left,, though the little picnic area. Just have a swim. Also out of the jetty, to those rocks, about 200m out, or if you have a boat, to Danger reef, about two ks out. Viz is amazing right now and I might try the Moeraki light house again tonight, if I can get rid of this stupid headache! Anyone keen? 021 026 26667.

Hi there,

Not in Dunedin anymore but as for some spots to free dive there were a few spots we used to frequent down there while at uni.
Aramoana usually a good spot as is protected by the weather, shot some good size moiki and butters at various points along the left side of the spit. If you go through the kelp out a bit deeper is ur best bet,
Cape Saunders also a great spot particularly for Paua and crays but also plenty of cod there too.
And karatane also good when divsble plenty of fish just try different points around the peninsula

Soooo annoyed! Just returned from an attempt to the Moeraki lighthouse but the road was closed due to a crash, so picnic on the lounge floor. There is always tomorrow, but everything is ready and packed!
