ollie get some boost magnesium tablets put to in water bottle stops cramps and muscle fatigue while diving

Thanks 😊

Hey bro Adam Stern covers all the breath hold and equalisation in depth really well. He's a world champ free diver and sometimes spearfishes but you can also find spearfishing and cray tips all over yt

Hey mate, yeah I’m working on making something for absolute beginners soon

Youll see Ollie pull his snorkel out when diving. Its best practice in case of blackouts. You dont want to be floating on the surface choking on water in your snorkel. Go practice at the pools and learn your limits. Try taking 3 big breathes before diving down. Relax and cruise. If your coming up hyperventilating your body is near its limit and your risking blackout.

@@jonymanay and a crucial point, if practicing in a pool or anywhere where you are pushing your limits to have a buddy with you at all times.

Too true. My thoughts exactly.

Awesome! Thank you! Will do mate

Humble guy @Ollie

I think that spot was pretty obvious, but I won't name it lol

Thanks! Good to hear 👍

Appreciate it Sam, Glad you like them mate

Thanks Michael! Appreciate it mate. Hard to beat a feed of fresh cray!

Cheers mate I’ll keep that in mind

Cheers Dion, that’s the plan mate

Yep they can feel our energy for sure.

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit I'm getting my kayak out for the second time this summer tomorrow. No diving for me tho. I'll just have a fish and watch you 😉

Sure is mate!

Kayak as are great is you see a shark you can just jump on the kayak and move spots

Thanks James, Appreciate the feedback mate

cheers!

Thank you! You too!

Cheers Vaughn!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Wiley!

Cheers Ryan 👍

Thanks, you too bro! Will do

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying !

Haha yep it’s bloody hard yakka!! Thanks Rowan, should definitely try one day if you love the ocean. Very addictive and rewarding sport!

Welcome aboard! Glad you are enjoying them mate!

Cheers mate, Yeah will do. Awesome to hear bro. I've got my hands in many things, but trying to make this a full time thing currently.

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit keep up the good work and keep the vids rolling, making this a full time thing would be mean. I don’t know what’s up with KZfaq but I subscribed to you ages ago and since then have had to resubscribe a few times coz it keeps unsubscribing me for some reason. Happens with a few other channels I’m subscribed to too.

@@Somedumbbrokehopefulkid that’s weird..

Shhhh! 😅

Yep, great place the coromandel. No, you get used to Sharks, Only cross my mind in certain areas which are well known for sharks, or very dirty water.

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit I'm very jealous, I live in southern Western Australia so too many great whites to consider spear fishing...watching you (which is awesome btw) is as close as I can get!

Right, I should probably practice like that here too

Haha yeah mate, not all easy out there!! Thanks Elijah

Thank you bro

Sure was, Cheers mate!

Thanks mate! Yep trying to make the most of it I know I can’t live and dove like this forever!

Yep don't be scared mate, Kayak's are great..always there to jump on if tired and need a rest or just don't feel comfortable in the water!

You got that right! Totally worth it

Thank you 🙌

Thanks Dayna 🙏 make it happen! Summer will be gone before we know it

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit too true! 😭 Will do 👍😌

Hey bro, no worries, stoked you are getting something out of it! I'll get out for another camp soon mate! just waiting for the weather to settle!

never been out to Mayor, so many places to see in NZ, Will get to them all eventually!

Thanks Esther :)

Cheers bro!!

Thanks mate!

Got to try bro. Cheers man

Appreciate it mate

Thanks bro 🤙

Thanks mate!

Thanks Jim

Cheers!

Cheers for Subscribing! I've been diving for about 5-6 years, but only really hard into in for about 4

Cheers, We Need a new coach

Cheers Connor!

Cheers guys!

I was so hungry I ate them before I got the camera out! Next time, stay tuned for further missions where I'll definitely do another cook up!

Not yet! Would love to get out there one day.

Hey Guyon, Cheers for the comment. Hard and fast and aim to get hold of their horns (base of the feelers). If you grab the feelers they will just break off. Aim mid body almost as they move back so fast. I like to use one hand to distract the cray and move feelers up or down then go hard in with the other hand

Cheers For that Chris. Hey mate there’s so many quality options out there these days. You wouldn’t need anything longer than a 900cm speargun, not anything super flash for the species you’re hunting down there but can’t go past a rob Allen. Could pick up the Cobia, they all have the same mechs etc lifetime guns

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit tks much appreciated looking forward to more great vids from my perspective your authenticity and gratitude towards what you do shine through creates the following you have good luck cheers mate

Ok right! Hard to miss 😂

Hey mate cheers for the comment. Best thing would to get out with a mate if you have any that are into it, otherwise I highly recommend doing a Freediving course. There’s heaps around Nz and will get you set up safety and technique wise which is so important

haha bugger mate! Hope you enjoyed Mark

Yes they do I had one but prefer just to drag it. Too much admin

Will look into them mate cheers

Hey Arthur, cheers for the comment. I have a set of cray nooses made up. Easy to do. Get 3m of mono, crimp them on themselves to a shark clip, from there you will have x6 500mm strands where you then create a loop at end and crimp tight enough to slide loop back and forth creating a snare you can put around there tails. All will cost you a couple of bucks. Then you can clip the shark clip to a weight belt keeper

Haha something like that

Hey Ollie Any footage Bro? "It happened to me" once or maybe twice, I was enticed to have a few beverages😪 then my love and her friend convinced me into a tune up regarding my appearance saying that although I was very good looking at the time that with a little help I could be irresponsible I mean irresistible, anyway in the end I just ended up irresponsible 😁 anyway next time you are set upon for a tune up for your appearance (if indeed you were) please post footage as I have seen plenty of mates - tuned 🙂 by their loves Great videos Bro take care Gaz

@@nqrgaz8986 haha nah mate nothing like that. Gets bloody annoying having long hair especially in summer!!

Hey mate, So many variables for an answer. In a pool I have done close to 5 minutes, but in general diving I usually go down for about a minute max most of the time, and being solo a lot I never push myself. If you can hold your breath here in nz for 30-45 seconds, You will have no issue getting a good feed!

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit awesome thank you so much mate

Not everywhere.

Just certain Zones eg the Coromandel area. West coast Still 6 in most places. That, plus commercial quota cut seems to be having an impact as I've heard of good numbers of crays around this year

Cheers!!

Cheers Trent! I’ve got some cray snares that I made up myself easy peasy to make. Just get 3m of mono, a shark clip and copper crimps. Cut the mono into 50cm lengths then crimp half way on the shark clip, then another crimp to make a loop on its self other end. Can buy them pre made otherwise cost you a couple of dollars to make. I then clip the shark clip onto my weight belt keep

Cheers for that, looks like a good option to add to my freezing kit. Chur

Cant beat the classic garlic & butter on the bbq, but I have had some tasty risotto and other recipies

Currently in Seabuck wetsuits. Best I’ve worn so far

Thank you for watching

I see them on almost every dive, Usually a good sign of a healthy ecosystem. Just let them be and don't interfere with them. If you leave them alone they will leave you alone

Yes I should be doing that. I have been forgetting, Thanks for taking note, I will aim to do better in future.

Awesome !

Launch and land off the kayak myself

3.8m

Normal ex surf irb arancia

Nah man my jacket feels spot on!! That’s no good, shrinking or too many Xmas beers and feeds! 😅

Love mine mate

Hey bro just google heavy duty float line the 1 hes using looks like the blue one from mares 👌

Yeah mate, Don't need anything flash any old kayak will do the job. BIgger ones like mine (4m +) def help on the longer missions but I started on a crappy old thing. That line is a Riffe hard line. Any hard line will do from a reputable brand, some of the cheaper ones don't last very long.

Yeah mate

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit yeah im his parnters brother he showed me your page

Cheers bro 🤙
