Re: Nelson, New zealand, Freedive

Did four scuba dives this weekend. 2 at Cable Bay. The water was quite clear with about 10 metres vis. Saw a reasonable size kingfish and were joined by a cpl of schoals of Kahawai. Depth was about 9 mts but we were diving from the shore. Next day at Okiwi Bay the first dive was not a whole lot of fun with vis of only a metre or two. After that we headed out further to the outer bay known as Croisilles Harbour. The vis there was the best of any of the dives. It was a flat sandy bottom. My max depth was about 12 mts.
I think Cable Bay has some great potential especially with the creation last year of the Hoiroirangi Marine Reserve(904 Hectares) but I need to get my self a nice little zodiac to get to the sweet spots and a little further out from shore.
