Depends on your water experience. If you have a swimming surfing or other water sport background then can start out on the ocean side but if your starting fresh then best start in the bay. The spearfishing Victoria Facebook page is run by a friend of mine and it has a find a buddy group chat. If you haven’t already joined those they are a good place to start

I have been diving for 10 years. If it is scallops you are after a 3 day Freediving course will teach you enough to get you down to more than 10 m. After that it’s just a matter of finding people local to you who can help get you started with some spots to dive. Depending on where you live it can be pretty easy to get a feed of fish or abalone without going deeper than 3 m. If you are based in the lower north island of New Zealand or in Victoria in Australia I can point you towards some people to go out with.

Typically there are more days per year where you can dive for crays in the deeper water than in the shallow water. As you go deeper the waves and swell push you around less and the visibility normally improves. As a bit of a rule of thumb in Victoria you should expect to dive about 10x as deep as the wave hight otherwise the waves will push you around and stir up the sand/visibility to much. So if you want to dive where it is 5 m deep aim to have less than 0.5m of swell. If you plan to dive 15m deep you will probably be ok in 1.5m of swell.

@@finnbismark Thank you very much to explain to me this much. especially tell me the tips. I play in Sydney. I only played about a year which i do not have lots of experience. I do not dive that much deep to get the caryfish. Generally I dive about 5m to catch them. It is like you mentioned, at this deep, I am washed by the swell and also it is hard to find them. It is very hard to let me stay there properly. I am not sure if it is worth to go deeper to find crayfish or not in Sydney. I watch the videos on youtube. Many youtubers who catch them in NSW. They do not go very deep.

Had a hold of a crayfish that was stuck that I didn’t want to let go of and when I gave up on getting him out It took longer than expected to wriggle my self out. About 5 minutes later I found out why the crayfish was so hard to get out, he didn’t fit through the gap I was trying to get him through. He was still there wedged unable to move so I helped free him then took him home.

@@finnbismark glad u got out safely 🙏

@@SoleAdventuresNZ ​​⁠my buddy met me about 3 meters off the bottom he was already on his way down to lend a hand. So I would’ve been ok even if I was more stuck.

Oh my word, I'm so glad you're OK, and I'm glad you have a mate to go diving with you!!! ❤❤❤all our love❤

@@vandiemengoldprospecting7624trying to get cray out and took a bit longer than expected to get myself out of the hole so bailed on the belt to buy back some safety margin. Then went back down grabbed the belt and the dive after grabbed the cray

@@finnbismark Nice glad your ok 👍🏻👌🏻

Cheers, I’ll have a look once I get home. Just got out of the way after a dive at the airport in Wellington

The dives that day were mostly between 8-17m deep and the water temperature was 13 degrees

Thanks for the feedback, It will probably take some practice to get the white balance correct.

Glad to have the feedback. It does improve visibility a bit to adjust it. But it kind of feels a little false like putting filters on sunsets. Main adjustment was to reduce the greens a bit to clear up some of the haze in the water. Do you think better or different correction would be good or do you like footage to be in tampered with regardless of what looks nicer.

@@finnbismark I like natural footage it always looks better but that’s just me in the adjusted one the colours don’t look right

First part of the dive I had a buddy but I didn’t for the second part as he headed to shore before he. Water is cold (13 degrees) this time of year and not many other people own warm enough wetsuits for long dives in Melbourne winter. Do you dive around Melbourne?

@@finnbismark Yeah Mornington Peninsula too. Getting back into it after a year or more off.

@@finnbismark What thickness wetty do you use? 5mm?

@@TheJaifresh this time of year 7mm and 8.5mm

@@TheJaifreshdo you do any cray diving?

It was all filmed today in one dive… one 7 hour long dive😂😂

@@finnbismark 7 hours!! I would freeze this time of year for that long 😂

What wetsuit do you run

@@vandiemengoldprospecting762413 degrees water temperature 7mm bottoms 8.5mm top. I don’t think I really have a time limit on when I would get cold. And when it gets even colder I’ll use 8.5 bottoms and 8.5 top.

@@vandiemengoldprospecting7624 7mm wettie commercial bottoms and 8.5mm polosub jacket

@@burtlux3736 got to be quick

Deepest dives in the video were about 20m. Most of the cray fish were 6-10m deep.

Pleanty of black lip same as almost every in tassie, about 15 crays none of them were big, good fish numbers.

@@finnbismark Awesome thanks mate I do a bit around Wynyard way and get a few here and there but looked like there was way more crays there

@@vandiemengoldprospecting7624it was nothing remarkable compared to most places I’ve dived but definitely some there, but I have only dived there once.

@@finnbismark do you do much diving on the north west coast or not really?

@@vandiemengoldprospecting7624 that’s the only dive I’ve done on the north east coast of tassie. I have done a ~30 dives on the north east side and a few more on the east and south east. I don’t live in tassie but I have worked there for about 6 months.

That dive was about 12m deep

Bom

12 degrees was what my dive watch said

I use the mares foot pockets and DiveR blades.

So far I’ve mostly been uploading single dives so gets a bit hard to go over 2 minutes free diving 😂😂😂 I’ll get around to editing something at some point soon. Any particular type video you’re interested in?
