Wettie TV - Spearfishing NZ Volcano White Island!!!

With Summer coming to an end we headed out in search of some clear water at the famous White Island located about 50km off New Zealand's Bay of Plenty. With close proximity to very deep water White Island provides some amazing spearfishing and diving and home to many different species. We had an amazing dive with really blue water and lots of fish!

A nice realistic representation of White Island. Dived there quite a few times now and people always expect it to be going off but I’ve vary rarely had days where it’s been firing with big kingis everywhere. Only happens on the odd occasion, but there’s always the big mao mao schools, big moki, plenty of scorpions and odd tarakihi etc.
So much fish to choose from always easy to gather a decent feed there From all the reefies, Good stuff!

Another top vid. Thanks for the entertainment.

What is the purpose of the elastic keeping the flopper closed.

[@WettieNZ]

We often do this to refine shooting, helps to improve accuracy and shaft speed. The flopper ring will slide off during shafts flight or when penetrating fish.

I'm always blown away by your videos and especially your diving ability! How did you work towards having such a long breath hold and depth?

[@WettieNZ]

Consistently practice when out diving, thats the great thing about spearfishing. The best way to improve is to spend plenty of time in the water, which is great because we have a great time doing it!

Wow. Nice spot.. dive safe bro.. I'm a new friend from the phillippines.

[@Outdoorswithzak]

Hey mate how do you identify current direction from the surface? Is it usually similar on the bottom? Cheers

[@rudiv9019]

9/10 times your drift line will determine the current direction..
Unless you have wind blowing one way and current going the other in this case to boat will relatively stand still..

[@rudiv9019]

Congregation of concentrated fish life and bait will also determine the up side of the current and then determining the direction of the flow

[@WettieNZ]

Lots of different ways, if you can see the bottom see which way the fish are facing, which way the particles are moving and of course which way you feel yourself being pushed. Sometimes tide can change on the bottom if it is swirling in an area. good luck out there!
