- Join me as I dive, explore and go Spearfishing at some of the most beautiful Islands I have seen in New Zealand (part 2 of my 3 day dive trip) to catch my own food for dinner!
Catch Part 1 here: • Diving Incredible NZ C...
Catch and Cook hunting Snapper and surviving off what I catch from the beautiful Ocean we have here.
Such a beautiful part of the country and I regret not diving and exploring here sooner!

Smash the like and watch at your leisure folks! Thanks again Ollie, keep em coming!
Thanks Adrian!
Really loving these videos man. Awesome to see how you get about in the IRB, such a good all round boat.
Bro...that's the second time you've been so close to the Rainbow Warrior. It's just beside those grassy islands. It would be a pitty not to pay her a visit:)
Water has often been dirty when up those ways. I’ll give it one day when nice and clean, and with a buddy. Also could you please maybe edit that name of wreck out of there so don’t give away the area (respect the locals) obviously people who have been there will recognise the spots but want to try keep it to that. Cheers for the comment!
Outstanding Ollie!! Quality production considering you film it yourself with a stick cam. Love the conservative attitude also - limit the catch, not catch the limit. Great stuff!! If everyone adopted that fishing philosophy, there'd be no shortage of fish for anyone. Love ya work fella! Here's to more good vis and vibes💯🤙
Cheers Jesse!! Plenty more to come
Tops Ollie!. That snapper salad looked Devine buddy. Thanks again, enjoy your vids everytime. Cheers!
Cheers Michael, yep that salad is a winner
ollie you inspire me everyday thats why i hope to buy a sailboat at the end of next year and start a sailing company taking people on adventures like you do around the world.
cheers from sunny florida
This is another great video mate can't wait for summer when you get into some more awesome water.
Cheers Issac. Yep I’m hanging out for some clean water with Kingies back in the mix
Always good to hear that it’s just about getting out there with you bro Ollie - Even if you don’t get that one massive fish it’s about just getting a feed and that inspiration for days 👍 As always , Meeean content Ollie
That’s it Vaughn, can’t chase the big fish the whole time got to enjoy the ride
great video Ollie. Loved the commentary.
Ah dam good videos always from you. Nothing better than seeing these places we never get to see. Thanks again. Also those folk watching tell your mates about this bloke the videos the action it's pure goodness to your eyeballs. Like share comment give your time he's a legend in my books. Cheers.
Cheers Richard! Means a lot. Stoked you are enjoying them
Your footage is amazing. Thanks.
Cheers Jonno!
Nice..... love your work
I been diving hard all year, mate. Thanks for the inspiration!
No worries Anon!
Right, that's inspired me to get back in the water. Have been sticking to the hunting but it's time to add a bit of fish & other adventures to the diat. Moved to Dunedin a few years back & have only had one dive... Came across around 300 paua on one rock all of size without even taking a measure... That was a bucket list thing I had always wanted to see.
That’s awesome wish I had some legal paua spots up here very hard to find a legal one. Nothing wrong with hunting! But good luck in the water
Great vid , beautiful spots ,very enjoyable
Thanks Belinda!
Another epic day on the water in this stunning country, well done mate, I'll be trying that recipe...
Thanks mate. Definitely do easy and tasty
Another amazing vid!! Cheers mate
No worries cheers!
Love it Ollie, keeping it simple
Cheers brother
Beautiful!!!
Sure was
That looks Soo good ya raw fish nice one Ollie 👍
Great video Ollie. If they still do the houseboat rentals there you should do it. Great place to anchor up either side of the entrance as a base. I speared a JD from the house boat while drinking a beer.
Haha haven’t heard about them will have to look into it!
Always seen loads of butterfish out there. Beautiful spot. Keen to get back there.
Yeah mate nice and abundant, make it happen!
Beautiful country across the ditch Nicely done
Thanks!!
awsum video, must try this, thanks for posting
Cheers mate
You've outdone yourself again with that fish salad, looks delicious!
Haha nice and simple! Had to share
I liked the oldskool scratching hiphop style tune at the beginning ollie and obviously the vid mate👌
Cheers Bob!
Awesome clip bud , great camera work. Keep it up
Cheers for the feedback!
Just lovely Ollie
Thanks !
the man ollie keep up the good work
Cheers Harry 🤙
Man that makes me jealous Ollie. Flippin legend. I just can’t seem to time the short clear viz periods down here in CHCH at the moment… days are few and far between this winter. So, going for a high country hunt in Otago instead this weekend. All the best.
Yeah it’s been much the same up here for a few months very small windows but starting to settle a bit finally. Hills are a great plan b!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit went up the Ahuriri valley. An amazing piece of Aotearoa but lacking deer at this time of year!
The raw fish looks great. I'll put mango in mine now :)
So beautiful and fishy! You are so funny - the eels not trying to… well that one was trying to bite you! It’s still murky here. I have to move.
Haha 😂
We call that raw fish salad 'kokoda' which basically means eating 'fish' raw. Instead of fish it can also be clams, sea urchins etc.. I love your adventures out at sea, I'd say rather daring on your solo trips, otherwise fun catching fish and lobsters.
Living the dream Ollie! Making it look easy but dang the water is freezing bruh hahaha
Haha yeah a bit cold, but can’t complain, guys down south are in much colder water!
great video, cheers from 🇵🇹
Thanks!!
Em breve terá muitos seguidores! Seus vídeos são muito bons!!!👍👍👍👍
Thanks Rafael!! We will see!
Sup Ollie, first off thanks for the vids, the kids love them aswell, hope your channel gets some good momentum and grows to be as big as it should be. Secondly I've gotta thank you for your part in inspiring me to put on a mask again after about 20 years, having fun getting the fitness back and relearning it all, eventually ill get a gun in there aswell. Thirdly if it was you I spotted driving north on friday arvo, somewhere between welsford and puhoi, can't remember exactly where it was, I hope you had a good one and got us some more wicked content. Cheers from the north.
Cheers!! Love hearing comments like this about getting back in the water. That’s awesome to hear! Good luck out there, and enjoy being back in the water which I’m sure you will!
Wasn’t time on Friday just gone but plenty of content to come.
Another ripper Ollie. That winter sun is priceless huh
Thanks mate yeah gotta love the sun
Great video love from Peru
Cheers Nalo!
Damn, I have never thought of corn chips and raw fish, what have I been doing with my life? I am going to give that a try! I enjoy your videos!
Yeah mate goes great!!
Respect - cool hard earned content!
Thanks Brett!
Magic man 👍
Cheers bro
Talk about a high protein meal 👍👍🌊🐟
Only way!
Ollie n his red rubber ducky 🎣🤙🏼
Yep!
Thanks!
Mate, you're our version of Bear Grills and Gordon Ramsay, except you're definitely not a pretentious nob. Keep up the good work young fulla!
Haha cheers Ed
Hey Ollie awesome footage and a brilliant attitude in getting out there to those beautiful under water gardens of ours. Also what drone are you using? Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hey Ollie, love the vids ! I'm pretty new to spearfishing, live on the Hibiscus Coast. What sort of weather patterns should I be looking for for decent vis on the east coast? Had a go on the weekend but was mucky as, couldnt see a thing !! Keep on coming, loving the content, super inspiring, cheers.
mainly just look for days when there hasn't been swell or wind pumping in recently, spring is normally the cleanest water as far as I've experienced but honestly just try moving spots can be like soup in one spot and clear as 500m down the coast
Recent big downpours can also result in silt in the harbours which reduces visibility. So always give it a while after big rainstorms.
Anywhere close to Auckland central is dirty water from all the runoff, silt from construction, etc etc and harbours/type of geology in the area. Really you need to travel up towards Leigh coast to start getting some cleaner water. After heavy rain and swell is usually a no go for a few days close in. Check cawthron eye satellite images and have a play around you will see the water colouration. Leering your local areas help. Head north or coro, more fish too
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Awesome, thanks bro!
Where u diving tmrw bro looks good I’ll follow u out brother ?!🤣
That's some seriously glassed out water. That bay defines smooth...
What's the low down on owning a pontoon boat over a hard shell?
Nice vid. Thanks!
Yep bloody awesome glass over! Just nice and light, easy to tow. Can even roll it up for storage etc. nice to dove out of on soft pontoons etc. cheaper as well I guess. I’ll eventually move jnto a pontoon but keep this for quick easy missions
Gorgeous! What's the water temp like?
Creviche with coconut milk. I think I saw this version in the pacific islands. Much better choice of knife to fillet the fish this time.
Yep island style it’s great! Haha yeah much easier with a real knife
👍👌🏽
Hi Ollie, the link in description points to youtube studio not the actual video :)
thanks for that!
Oh man that salad looks so good! What thickness suit are you wearing? How cold was the water?
Sure was! 5mm suit water around 15 degrees
Wadda life geee I’m jealous bro 👍🏾
Don’t be jealous mate get into it plenty of seafood for all !
Nice work Ollie! I too love Bushbuck, check out the review I did on them!
Nice mate great gear!
Bro when you get sick of your raw fish like that add the lemon last so it doesn’t cook the fish, that way you can still taste the fish raw, I used to do mine like this but it’s just way better when the fish isn’t cooked from the 🍋 lemon
Ok will try that out!
That looks awesome aside from the soap weed(coriander!) I wish I could enjoy it because everyone who likes it really likes it, but man it just tastes like soap to me.
Bugger, I hear there is real science behind that certain people have a gene that does in fact make it taste like soap
Hi, I would like to try spearfishing, can you please give me some advice and tips?
I'm hungry now 😆
🤣🤣
Come on out to Southern California and let’s dive!
Would love to! Want to get down to baha for sure
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit I'm in San Diego and my last video was just the other weekend we went about 35 miles into Mexico. Found some amazing open water Dorado (Mahi) in 70 degree F water. Barely need the wettie. Tuna and Yellowtail everywhere too, just amazing. Love the videos man!
Nice wether for it
Beauty day it was!
great whites frequent that area bro
Oh yeah, the harbour? Looked pretty spooky around the entrance
Great Conditions is this the coromandel
Nope, won’t give away spot either 👍
Hey Ollie , i watch a lot of your videos but see that you rarely encounter sharks. Where you dive you should have bronze whaler sharks and other nz species right ?
I think Bronzies tend to swarm up in a few places in particular around the East Coast, but closer to the deeper water.
Yep, I was thinking the same, it seems he edit the bronzes so they appear as snapper on the videos Lol
in one of his older videos,he was spearfishing with his friend and Ollie speared a kingy and the bronzies went wild on the kingy and ate it.All that was left was a bent spear.
We mostly have bronze whalers with a few makos out wide in summer months and rare sightings of great whites. The bronzies tend to congregate in certain areas I’ve found. Often actually in places where ‘noobies’ go funnily enough. Hot spots where rod fisherman go seems to be very sharky for both reasons that where there are a lot of fish there’s obviously sharks but also the sharks are learning in some spots how to get a quick free east feed
Hey Ollie Awesome vid, Any tips for anyone young getting into spearfishing and wanting to start a youtube channel?
Just do it. People love authenticity, so never try and be what you think others want you to be, always be yourself. Good luck.
As per Soprtys comment. Get out there & do it. It's your angle that makes the difference. One thing that Ollie dies well is that he bangs it alone surviving, prospering & getting a buzz off his own back. You may have a different angle to hook the punters.
@@sportysbusiness Thanks bro definitely going to go grab a gorpo and start getting out there more.
If you want to start a channel make sure you want to make one for the right reasons. I just made a channel to share my adventures, never thinking it would be this big. As said by others, be yourself, Never try try to be someone who you are not and you will be more successful in all areas of life including a TH-cam channel if you be authentic. Look for your own angle. At end of the day if you want to do it just give it a crack get started and learn as you go, most peoples first videos suck (well mine did) but it is fun and great to have all memories documented not just sitting on a hard drive so it’s a win regardless!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Thanks so much Ollie you have inspired me so much to get out more and do more outside on the water. I am definitely going to give it a crack.
I saw those kinas Ollie and went Wow. THERE'S HEAPS OF THEM.
*Yummy*
Anyway 👍 You were happy with your
Catch thats the buggah!
I got a 7mill suite and in winter yeah can still feel the cold 🥶 brr
Especially in for 2 hours .
Symptoms- fat ju ju lips numb the mask over the wears face leaves a impression almost stings
And you shiver for a while.
The cold goes deep into your core.
the things you do, and alone too.
NO SUCH T H I N G as buddy.
Haha not for me the Kings! Just feed them to my snapper friends who I turn into dinner
Who makes that boat? Do they sell them in the states?
It’s an arancia ex surf life saving irb. I believe they are all around the world
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit is it a v hull or a catamaran design?
How did the snapper survive that shot???
Missed the brain!
I have never in my life heard someone called us raw fish salad. Isn’t this just ceviche?
Same same, crayfish/lobster etc etc
new zealand where is this
Can’t say mate I don’t name spots. Awesome place though
abalone = Power ?
Paua
what country?
Aotearoa
New Zealand
As below
Wow! All that work to waste it on such a disgusting recipe. Have some respect for the creature and grill it properly or eat it raw with soy sauce. Leave the cans and fruit at home next time.
