VIDEO: Shore Diving on the East Coast of New Zealand

Overview

Ollie Craig heads to the East Coast of the North Island for two days of shore diving. It had been a couple of months since he last went spearfishing in New Zealand and with the fridge and freezer back home empty, he was keen to restock with the abundance of fresh seafood on offer.

The East Coast is home to spectacular coastlines, incredible geography above and below water, and fantastic diving. Check out the video below to watch Ollie encounter paua, crayfish, blue moki, John Dory, butterfish and more in fantastic diving conditions. It's fair to say the freezer is full again.

Make sure to watch to the end to see how Ollie repurposes a Bushbuck pack in the water and some of his simple yet delicious "catch and cook" recipes for crayfish and John Dory.
