Thread: Beginners guide to freediving/snorkeling

Not much to say. Dived the weed bed probably an hour to early not enough depth. Saw a carpet shark one small cod and spotties.

Reserve next time. Vis 3 meters.

Out there doing it all the same

Reserve

Gear

Speargun left in truck
Cheap but effective dive knife



And as light faded and with it so did the vis. Saw a Kelpie, large banded wrasse, spotties, crabs and a huge bait shoal was 10ft by 10ft and 2 ft deep .. 5 inch Yellow eyed mullet / herring hung around me as long as I stayed still just floating on the surface any movement and the went to the bottom ..15 ft...vis great out to 30 ft

My diving days are over now, got this ear thing going on when down more than ten feet. Have to sell my gears.

Them little blue knives are great. Better than the large ones I reckon. Had a girl flat mate once and we named her stingray.
Coz when she was on her back she was fucked,....

Turtle ... Sakokid turtle ... Ya cheeky barstard.

Yeah those blues are the sizzle sharp and cheap blunting or rust grab another for 10 bucks and away you go! As well they sit in your pocket so well no straps no catching in the weed just bloody beaut.

Your flat mate didn't fuck Steve Irwin did she ?

Stingray, Ive done a bit of diving on the boulder bank. Key is to not bother diving winter and dive summer when the kingies turn up. Not much else to point a speargun at sadly.

yeah Rusky I know what you mean. It's not really about gathering a feed out at the Glen more of a chance to get wet and get some training in as well with a calm night and good vis I find it very relaxing and a great way to spend an evening.

Close to home so a easy to sneak off after work and get a couple of hours in the water

Kaikoura Monday for the day leave nelson 5.30, got a spare seat could pick up blenhiem. If anyone keen to get wet. I am away till Sunday night will make weather call then.

Seat still open, little or no cost,
