FREE DIVING FOR PAUA (ABALONE) / BLUFF, SOUTHLAND / NEW ZEALAND

Hello again Peoples :) My name is Alya and this is my 2nd diving video I’ve ever made! I have only started getting into the sport in the past 6 years - I still consider myself to be a beginner at this stage as I am not consistent but now it’s time to kick procrastination in the guts. Howayaaaa! Bluff is well known for its abundant ocean waters, and particularly popular for free divers. This day is special because we are gathering for a funeral. It just so happens for the sun to shine & the water flat! Perfect conditions for any free diver that loves gathering for seafood! Of course we had to taste test some kina at the end of our dive. This part is critical for quality control 😜 Hope you enjoy watching just as much as we liked being apart of it! Click on like, subscribe or even comment to show your support.
