Spearfishing and freediving Yellowtail Kingfish for an insane day out off the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand. We head wide to a rock that comes out of 90+ meters of water which is absolutely teeming with fish life. Thousands of Trevally, Kahawai, Pink Mao Mao and Yellow tail Kingfish are seen.

Hey mate, first off thanks for the top quality videos. Loving the footage especially around my neighborhood. Was wondering, I noticed you have been mostly posting footage with at least a buddy recently. Has something occurred that changed your mind to spearing alone? Cheers

@olliecraig-primalpursuit 2 жыл бұрын

Cheers Philippe, I've just been hitting some places which are quite far off shore and not really assessable for my little inflatable. Also sometimes it takes a while to finally get the right buddy to dive with who is on the same page as you. Some days you go out with people and never want to dive with them again for multiple reasons. I still do love diving solo, perhaps its just summer..
