Spearfishing EPIC Aldermen Islands NZ | BIG KINGI 

NZ is a dream

Your doing well Ollie....slowly climbing up the RU-vid ladder.

Excellent shots on the snapper and king fish! That top down shot on the snapper was great. Love your chill attitude dealing with various situations and the important information you share with us. Thanks, Ollie!

Kia orana Ollie, another stunning video mate just getting better and better and more awesome every time I watch your videos..

Incredible!! Thank you for sharing your experience. I can’t play futbol anymore do to back fusion and knee replacement the past 6 months. Docs say I’m cleared to learn spearfishing and your videos are awesome! Cheers

Tangaroa spoke allright he said use a float an float line 🤣 ahh that was probly one of your best videos I reckon. Super cool

Nice day out Ollie, love your mahi brotherman, human life first. Keep on keeping on!!

Beautiful Ollie! Some awesome chat there and explanations:) I loved the Snapper footage

You’re always great to watch great films amazing shot on that kingfish. My heart goes out to losing a good spare gun but you guys came back safely and that’s what matters ready to do it again the next time my hats off to you both.

That's a big boy . Nice . And the new boat is flying . Awesome

im your number one fan here ollie. fish on!

Let's go ! New boat adventures!!!!! Would be super keen to see how the boat goes with 3/4 speros on it for the size limits - happy to be one of the extras if you need 😉

Bugga about the loses.. something very special to both of you gone and Stu was on when he said time to go. Still a mean day out with Viz and result's like that though 👌💯😎

Great videos sir. I vould watch you the entire day. From jamaica 🇯🇲

Thanks again Ollie beautiful clear water . Great content what a selection of fish .

Crystal clearwater around the blue moamoa amazing video and dive, nice. Love the new boat congrats.

Epic! Loved watching this

Very respectful call Stu. Awesome adventure 🦈

Oh nice new boat

Awesome Ollie greetings from Ireland great fish there looked super amazing the clarity was unreal, well done mate the boat looked the shiznit 😅

Love your work mate I live in South Australia our water is brown as from the River Murray I'm mad keen Spiro been doing it for years keep up your good work I love watching your vids and the hunting ones

Wow! What spectacular viz and great content once again Ollie.

Nice one mate. Still watching every one from here in South Australia. Was a great Friday fix for me. Keep up the killa vids man. Stay safe.

Had surgery on my hand recently and have been stuck in the house, just want to say awesome videos mate! Feeling inspired for when im able to get back in the water.

Wow! So awesome catching the kingy through all the schools

Love it! Keep up the great work Ollie. That new boat looks the part!

Hi Ollie, awesome video’s! If you use a roller-gun, you ad a Rob Allen belt-reel to your belt for those muzzle raps with big fish on. Cheeper than loosing your gun. Shoot-line has to be super tight to prevent raps, and use silicone spray on your rubbers and rollers after dive

Ollie these are super videos. Love your content. I really enjoy the super chilled vibe of your stuff

Every time I watch your videos I think to myself “I wonder if he would take me out and teach a few things if I could treck out to New Zealand one day” I am just in awe of how beautiful and flourishing the water/Marine life is, and I respect your aproach/dedication to the hobby/sport of freediving. As a 20 year old ocean lover and freediver, I look up to you. Plus you just make good videos and they always have me wide eyed with a smile, keep them coming boss!

Keep it up man, you've got the best vids

*EPIC* This was such great footage, what an amazing adventure. Cheers!

Solid content. Very relaxing

Atahua Brotha what a day

Beautiful bro. NZ HARD!

I really need to find a job in NZ.. All this awesome scenery keeps fueling that moving dream.

So many epic shots in this adventure!

Boats Awesome Ollie, well done to the two of you

Love your videos bro love what you do have just ordered my first t-shirt from you cheers mate

Well done, Ollie!!!👍🌊🐠

Nice one bro! Great water!

Been hooked on your channel since finding it lately, love your shit man! 👌🏽

Hi Ollie, Stunning video as usual, and cheers from a French subscriber 💪 I'm always amazed to see how much marine life there is in NZ, truly spectacular. I'm travelling to Australia for the first time in a couple of weeks, and I'll try spearfishing there. What would be your advice for someone who's an experienced diver, but never had an encounter with a shark? I have to say that bumping into one while in the water is really concerning to me, but when I see your videos, I feel like I might be overthinking this 😅 Anyways, thanks for the amazing videos, and keep up the good work. Virgile

oh hell yeaah. thanks for the upload ollie.

Great footage Ollie!love this channel!

Boats looking great mate. Love the signage on the chiller

Love the content! I would like to see some shots of your dive computer every now and then... would be interesting

Choice mission. Fond memories of that place as a kid

Another great video

Love from 🇯🇲 big up Ollie

Awesome stuff!

Awesomeness buddy keep up the good work

i absolutely love this place ollie, i stay at whitt and go with the epic boys, always a great sight those islands in the distance! fucking best place on earth!

I can't believe how hard it is to find a Snapper! The standard fish at the fish monger is Snapper, maybe they hang around in huge schools out deep and rarely come in to shore??

Mate great videos but WEAR life jackets in the small boat especially heading off-shore like the Aldermans. I have been out there on a premo day and had it cut up rough really quickly.

lovely place to dive ive only fished round there

Love the new boat man you deserve it 👏 🙌

A NEW ONE THANKS OLLIE GRUMPY

Thank you

Awsome love the vids

Great video Craig.

nice dive,,safe dive always

Nice Yellowtail! What happened to the boarfish? Looked like you had it in hand. Tax man? Nice roller you have there. Not sure how many shafts you have bent up on the larger fish, but I always use a slip tip on my bluewater guns. No leverage for the fish to fight against, and almost never get a bent shaft as a result.

Chur too much brothers!!! RESPECT

Amazing keep it up the good deed

You doing great bro, have been following up your video's and really great to see to exploring great places for spear fishing,,,i love spear fishing a lot as well as i have been diving around in my country(Vanuatu). You should try come and made some spear diving in Vanuatu.

Chur olllie. Chur to the koha for creating space

Fantastic spot -

Thanks for another awesome vid mate. Please, you need to start wearing a life jacket when you don't have the wet suit on, even though you may be comfortable without it you're getting a larger following and need to set the right example, people out there who aren't as competent in the water as you might not wear one because 'ollie' doesn't, and it just might end up saving not only theirs but your life as well one day? I never used to wear one, then i had kids and got over myself. I want you to keep inspiring me and others for many years yet haha. Cheers brother.

I have been watching you for a while and surprise how clean the water is is is every year thing or just. A good. Day Jiri Brisbwne

What was the mission over like on the boat bro ? How’d you sus the sea out to know she be a good ride out and back in?

Awesome brother

Ollie you've said you like shooting line as opposed to mono. Why exactly is that? And would mono keep you away from getting muzzle wrapped? I've always used mono here in California and Baja. Thought I'd look into shooting line

Shoutout to Davy Dupav the man to go check out the Aldys with !

Panui is such fun

Great video again, I so need to visit Nz !! Why don't you wear the kill cord, especially when solo in the boat??

Is that agua mala floating around? The clear jellies?

Awesome footage, what camera are you using?

Did you manage to weigh the Kingy?

I love your boat . By the way, how many minutes can you hold your breath?

Would love to be your boat driver bro .. awesome videos bro appreciate it .

5:10 I hope Stu doesn’t wear his pants as low as his weight belt 😂

Love your vids also

Where is this located in NZ? Beautiful viz.

Hey bro love your content, what is that little espresso pump you have and where’d you get it from?

What's your gopro video settings, trying to get into more videos of my diving, Cheers

you should do a collaboration with josh james. that would be sick

awesome vid bro but y no life jacket saftey first

Nice vid

Cant wait to go on my first primal pursuit mission with a boat full of girlfriends.

Do you launch from whitianga

cool

no GWShark in new zealand specifically that part?

With the cost of fresh fish, I bet your equipment pays for itself pretty quick.

how long to motor to aldermans from main land ollie

That’s why I have a belt reel if im not using a float line

I think you should consider a better thumbnail for this video than the one you chose. The one you chose is just a drone video photo with you on the side. But that other Alderman islands video you did, it got over 1M views in 11 months. The other video's title is nothing special... you optimized it more for youtube search rather than making an intriguing title to get somebody to click. Nevertheless that video has over 1 million, which leaves the thumbnail. The thumbnail on that video is amazing, you with a long speargun in blue camo wetsuit in blue water with hundreds of fish behind you. That's an amazing thumbnail and it's why I think that video did so well. Considering this video is also alderman islands, I'd consider taking some still pictures from it of underwater shots, whatever looks the best, mabey do a poll and ask your audience which one they would click on. I would also consider perhaps lessening or discontinuing the usage of drone photos as part of your video thumbnails. You've got a drone and you use it so I'm going to assume you like to "make use of it" by getting the aerial photos. However, diving is done underwater, not in the sky, not from the point of view of a bird. It doesn't make logical sense to me to use drone photos in your thumbnails. I think better for the POV to be on the water, or under the water. Have you seen Harmonious Ra's most popular video? He's just holding 2x paua but they are so enormous, people are obviously enticed to click and have a look. No drone video there. One of the things I do is keep trying to improve on thumbnails and titles because a few years ago, the conventional wisdom was to optimize videos more for youtube search with keywords in the titles and tags and relevant metadata in the description. But now with youtube already auto-transcribing the dialouge in your video, the algorithim already knows what your video is about and knows who to reccommend it to. So the people who make those "How to grow on youtube" video tend to tell you now to prioritise the titles and thumbnails to entire people to click and watch. I think you should do more experimenting, get some feedback from your audience. You're putting so much effort in with these constant dives,although your channel is doing well, I think it could do even better. If I was you, I would spend more time on the thumbnails and titles. One trick is to think up 3 or 4 titles for the same video and then ask yourself (or audience, friends, anyone)... "Which one would you click on?" (Same goes for thumbnails).

What happened to the boarfish?

floats in a boat are a hassle but.....

Where is your life jackets

Priced the boat up $50,000 + ozzy dollars , ye little out of my range , hope you got yours free m8 lol
