This juicy ep has been a long time coming — the mermaids have been absolutely lifing! But we finally managed to catch up and sum up our summer of diving here in New Zealand. Spearo Diaries Episode #26 is a long-distance dive buddy debrief, packed with our usual banter, babbling, froth and yarns as we detail our best fish and most epic dives of the summer. Elise is back after surgery and absolutely crushing it — from becoming a NZ Geo Spearo model and hunting kingis, to a wild close encounter with a whale amidst a huge pod of dolphins and crazy fish scenes near Auckland. Plus, she landed a massive PB Giant Boarfish with our mate Dazza — what a moment! Laura takes us along on her adventures too, making regular personal burley and sharing stories of her move to new, unexplored territory in the Bay of Plenty. She’s been welcomed by locals and the Sons of Tangaroa crew, dived into her first mussels and completed her Coastguard Day Skippers Course — all alongside some weird shark encounters and a PB trev. Plus a flashback to her best dive up in the far north on holiday with the Crawford gents! Fill your earholes and get ready for a ton of guests, stories, and adventures coming your way over the next few months. Stay salty and stay tuned!
