    Last weekends dive turned it on. Started slow at motiti chasing snapper with only small fullas coming in on both kina and fish burley. Wind died off so decided to shoot out wider despite the swell. Was about halfway out to schooner and was inky blue 25m plus vis.

    Few deeper 20m-ish drops below the Massive schools of koheru the size of kahawai got us into the Kings. Got tied up pretty good by one king which took a bit of sorting at depth. Very quickly filled the bin then stopped shooting and just enjoyed some absolutely magic scenic diving.

    Did you bump into the local whale shark hanging out down there?
