  • I find it incredible that all of these young lads do hold their breath for what must be a few minutes for each dive. But even more incredible is they dive continuously all day for up to eight hours for the day.

    I’ll keep my factory job making half the money a day, but that’s five days a week, every week. Love the show, amazing divers and skippers. Wish I was back in NZ

    This video alone helps me understand my work friend so much now. I work as a roofer in Houston and this NZ guy drops at least 3-4 F words in one sentence haha

    I find it amazing that NZ has such strict take numbers for people that you get a fine if you take just a hand full of them. But commercial operations can pay big money to the government for a permit & take millions of them & then people who can only collect a hand full can go to the shop & buy hundreds off someone else who has stripped whole reefs of them. The whole fisheries system around the world seems so corrupt. You can take massive loads from small areas as long as you pay big fees to so it. Interesting show, brave divers & huge money for a tea spoon of salty snotty seafoody muck lol.
  • Red dog chops into the crack for sureeeee, bet my life on it 😂

    My roommate when I was younger went and study abroad in New Zealand and my sister went there as well and went skydiving...I'm a little jealous lol. Greetings from Chicago but I'm gonna keep myself landlocked and on the ground. The ocean isn't for me.

    Kina is the only thing from the sea I don't like to eat. I've tried for years to like them but nah. I'll still dive and get them for the family more for everyone else ⛳
