  • Mission to the Coromandel in search of the oceans bounty's. In this episode we explore the Coromandels northern most tip and down the east coast. The Coromandel is a popular diving location, not just for locals as many people travel from far and wide.
    Coromandel diving is very productive due to the large number of target species and great access. This area will always have a special place in my heart, as it is where I learnt to Dive and have done most of my spearfishing to date. When traveling to new locations it is essential to respect the area and not take everything. Always remember that you are a guest.
    Thank you for watching I hope you enjoy. This is footage from a while ago to fill in some time before I can go and get some new footage. Love yourself and Love the Ocean!

      Cheers my bro. Very strong, very slippery and somewhat lewd. I understand what the Japanese find appealing... The Flavor. 🤫

      @@BlueNeoprene Oh true, any reason you felt you needed to spear it then? At @6:24 you talk about a stone shot being ideal because it doesn't cause pain or suffering- but you caused pain/suffering/death needlessly for that other fish.

      @@UnboxingReviews101 needed the meat, second day of the trip and we had caught 1x fish between us lol. Admittedly tragic turn of events but I have since learned and practice alot more restraint nowadays. Ideally you have a proper tool with a grip and without disintegrating rubber but at the time I was trying my best with what I had. I most certainly caused that fish pain, suffering and possibly death, which I feel terrible about. Hopefully the humiliating footage can inspire other to think more carefully and may even save some fish as a result

    Please don't kill octopus bro, we are not savages. They are likely smarter than us

      I'm glad you are of that opinion as many people believe the natural world to be simple and unintelligent. However I don't think a convincing argument could be made in favor of octopus being smarter than humans. They are cunning and curious but I personally think that human are this planets premiere lifeform in respect to intelligence. What holds octopus back is that they live short lives and do not look after/teach thier young, no parenting. Each octopus goes through its course learning lessons and becoming smarter but none of this knowledge is pasted down through generations. Us humans have succeeded because we learn from our parents and pass knowledge down. If each human generation started off with no knowledge and what they learnt will always be lost, we would have achieved as much as the octopi. They have the possibly of potentially being smarter but not for a long time. I usually don't eat em, but they are dam tasty. Usually bottom of my list however, more fun shooting fosh

      ​@@BlueNeoprene Its the same thing that holds dolphins back, they can't leave in the water. So they can't create fire and start shaping the world like we did. General intelligence is a rare trait for animals, and my person opinion is we should not eat or kill things that display intelligence. Dolphins, Monkeys, Octopus.
      Octopus is the only non mammal, in that group. With a pretty slow reproduction rate, probably because most animals can't see them.
      You can shoot what ever you want, Its a free country, just my suggestion is to not make it public.
      Keep up the content, NZ needs more popular fishing/hunting channels.
