Muck Diving in Florida

Another cool video from Jonathan Bird. It reminds me of many pleasant dives in harbours and estuaries around Auckland … often in places where locals don’t dive. Yet they are full of tiny (and often colourful) interesting critters.

Goat Island Channel

30/12/2016 (610) A sort of an unfortunate dive. I usually don’t go to Goat Island in summer. There are a lot of people in the water, fish are nervous and the big ones move further off shore. This time I went for a family trip so the spot was very convenient. It was very murky […]

Seamounts in Gulf of Mexico

Another cool documentary from Jonathan Bird … diving offshore seamounts in the Gulf of Mexico. Plus watching coral spawning as a bonus.

Strobes Farewell in Mahurangi Harbour

Plankton Soup

However, in some areas I felt like swimming in a jelly […]
