Been out there a few time with my son, most amazing although we only got three crays last trip and 9 paua between us so many were too small to keep. We were a little more north from where you were and had to climb down a small cliff to get into the water. It was like a zoo as so many and so shallow 3 - 4 meters at most. Best we got was kinas a little sour but otherwise o.k.
