New Zealand Marine Reserves are no take. Everyone who spends any time on the water knows that. To be caught fishing in the middle of one of New Zealands most well known reserves and given a smack on the hand is bu****it!
Enchanter Fishing Charters - you need to do the right thing here and make another form of reparation so that other skippers know FISHING IN A MARINE RESERVE IS AGAINST THE LAW.

I've been on trips with John a few times and he has an amazing sense of what's happening below. This skipper could drop you on a brilliant dive spot - we should be listening to what he has to say!

John ‘Tuna’ Baker, a hardened ‘old salt’ with 50 years of fishing, diving and surviving White Island’s moods says he should know – and it makes him melancholy.

Bonnie's Scuba Sunday v17

Scuba Sunday is a feature on scuba divers both here in New Zealand and some of the divers I have come in to contact with from all over the world. Today's Scuba Sunday comes from the northern hemisphere but still within the Pacific Rim. Bonnie is based in Japan and will be posting a few articles on her dive adventures. Given that my brother lives in Japan, and therefore going for a dive there is on my bucket list, I'm really excited to see the stories that Bonnie will post for us! [ 479 more words. ]
