Everything is HUGE at the Three kings islands NZ!!!

The three kings islands out off the top of New Zealand is a special place, Rugged and remote they are only accessible when the weather is perfect. It is also a place where everything grows massive in the nutrient rich currents that deliver crystal clean waters to the islands. Myself, Sam from ‪@OXSTV‬ and Luke from ‪@AquaticRehabSpearfishing‬ made the journey up there when a perfect weather window opened up and made the most of the amazing diving that is on offer....

Thanks so much for giving us a look into the Underwhaterworld in this area💪❤️

[@KerryFlowers]

It's pretty amazing up there alright! Cheers!!!

[@jacobsmall6732]

Really like the voiceovers on the underwater videos keeps it more interesting!

[@KerryFlowers]

Yeah I also feel that sometimes that the music that gets put on underwater footage masks the beautiful music that is the ocean and the voice over lets the natural sounds come through without it being overly boring...Cheers!!!

[@akcee5651]

The bucket going flying gets me every time lmao, that fish was like a cartoon character lmao

[@KerryFlowers]

Yep it really kicked the bucket! Cheers!!!

[@cwguy8960]

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing your adventure - you guys eat well out there!

[@KerryFlowers]

Thanks for watching! Cheers!!!

[@snigie1]

The wreck of the enchanter always worth a visit too

[@KerryFlowers]

This was filmed before enchanter went down and I'm not sure how to feel about diving that wreck knowing that people died during the sinking... Cheers!!!

[@Danmantus]

Good stuff mate, I saw you on one of Ollies vids and noticed you had a channel

[@KerryFlowers]

Cheers mate! Stoked to have you watching!!!

[@insane-gamerhd8930]

[@KerryFlowers]

We launched at Houhora...Cheers!!!

[@flyingyoung4889]

How long was the run?

[@AquaticRehabSpearfishing]

That kingy sending that bucket was gold.

[@KerryFlowers]

It's funny I didn't even see the bucket go overboard when it happened but in the vid you can see it clear as day! I guess I was focused on getting in the boat! Cheers!!!

[@jimmy7458]

What's the average depth your diving there Kerry? Awesome vid dude, keep them coming 👍

[@KerryFlowers]

Most of the diving there was between 10 and 20 meters, the paua were a lot shallower tho. Cheers!!!

[@DocProfit]

Great content as usual Kerry. Always an enjoyable watch. Cheers!

[@KerryFlowers]

Cheers mate!!!

[@PeeexFishing]

What sort of boat is that Kerry?

[@KerryFlowers]

The boat is a Wellcraft, made in the USA. Its a heavy boat but handles the sea really well! Cheers!!!

[@ChoiceKayakFishing]

I have never done diving for fish but looking at that beautiful crayfish I'll give it a go.

[@KerryFlowers]

Warning diving is Highly addictive, I hardly fish anymore the spearfishing is just so much fun! Cheers!!!

[@ChoiceKayakFishing]

@@KerryFlowers Sounds very attractive. Cheers

[@aleshaleee]

Goldy and a teraki that's awsome catch right there. Well done

[@KerryFlowers]

Yeah I was stoked to tick those two off the list as I had never shot either before! Cheers!!!

[@joeenglish2720]

Wheres my invite? Haha great content as always Kerry, that looked like a mean trip. Got me pumped to get out chasing Kingis!

[@jamie_d___]

Mouth watering watching you eat that crazy tail wrap , what a trip , a king like your mate shot nearly pulled me overboard at smokehouse bay when I was 18 serious size king on a rod I’m sure it didn’t go quietly on a spear either

[@KerryFlowers]

Yeah they go pretty mental on the spear, Luke shot his one in the head so it didn't have too much fight left in it, his footage of it is pretty epic! Cheers!!!

[@NZkayakfishing]

How good were those conditions and looked even better than it was when we went kayak fishing up around those islands. Very lucky lads and hoping for an invite one day lol

[@KerryFlowers]

Oh yeah we had the perfect conditions - I had been waiting for a weather window like that for a long time! I would love to get you up there just have to wait for the weather again....Cheers!!!

[@NZkayakfishing]

What a brilliant trip alright my bro. Great effort and great rewards. 👌🏾Man your a long way down and for a long time my brother. Meke as👆🏾

[@KerryFlowers]

Some of the drops on this trip were fairly deep, I shot the terry at around 18 meters but still nowhere near my best work...Cheers!!!

[@churtifiedo3725]

Nice dive bro. Where can I get one of those plastic knives?

[@KerryFlowers]

Not sure, I was around the reef at Ahipara one day and was stopped and checked by the fisheries officers (my catch was all legal) They gave me the knife as it has a measure on it. Cheers!!!

[@AriaSZhang]

Dang I really wanna head up for a dive now. Wonder if any dive shops run trips up there🤔

[@KerryFlowers]

Pretty sure that that you need to get onto a charter unless you know someone with a boat capable of going up there, get a group of people together and book with someone like Enchanter! Its not cheep but an epic experience! Cheers!!!

That bloody king! 😅 they are so shady those big donkeys!

[@KerryFlowers]

Oh man it was just like here I am but you can't get me ha ha! Cheers!!!

[@lukenobilo7782]

Great footage! However seeing this place looking so inviting worries me that it gives people the perception it's a safe place to go in a small boat! Over the last decade I've seen more and more smaller boats making the voyage up there and even passed a jet ski up there few years back. This is a great concern and although very cool you guys had clearly scored it on an exceptional window... Showing footage like this to the masses may incourage keen people to think the place is safely accessable in crafts less desired to be in such an area when it turns, even in the slightest. If you're up there in a small boat and had it like you did, good planning and your lucky... but be careful you don't elude the keen viewers it's a place for everyone to take their little boats to. ✌️

[@KerryFlowers]

Yeah good point, I waited over a year for this weather window to line up with a weekend... Perhaps I should have talked about the planning and prep involved to make this trip....Cheers!!!

[@lukenobilo7782]

Tell em nothing.. take em nowhere.... That's my feelings these days!?

[@stormstrike1845]

How do you hold your breath for so long?

[@KerryFlowers]

The key to having a decent breath hold is to be calm, Why can you hold your breath on the couch longer that in the ocean? Because you are more calm and relaxed! Cheers!!!

[@kaili9]

Do you bring a lot of ice with you to take the fish you don't eat back?

[@KerryFlowers]

Yeah we had plenty of ice on board and we all came back with a decent feed! Cheers!!!

[@Tarara85]

You are diving in a marine sanctuary, local people are not happy and they know who you are now hahah good luck

[@KerryFlowers]

No the waters around the three kings islands are not a marine sanctuary at the moment - perhaps they should be but that is a discussion for the people that manage our fisheries...Cheers!!!

[@jaksonstancich1747]

That's awesome you guys. But you should keep this personal. It's just promoting more people to go up there. Do you not get it?

[@KerryFlowers]

It's already a well known spot with plenty of people going up when the weather allows, and that is the thing that protects it - the weather. If it wasn't so isolated every man and his dog would be there all the time regardless of any videos promoting it...Thats my thoughts anyway...Cheers!!!

[@simonodonnell1114]

This is typical macho ego "look at me" bs that does nothing do advocate for how we as humans manage our behavior in marine environments. No real fault of the guys who made this trash, they were likely brought up thinking bigger is better and taken to those egocentric fishing comps by their fathers. It is a NZ thing, this is not cool anymore. #herovideofail #thenonkaitiaki

[@KerryFlowers]

Hmmm this video was made as a Vlog of our trip up to the three kings islands and what we caught up there, it was never intended to advocate anything - I think that you'll find that most people have understood that and enjoyed it for its entertainment value...Cheers!!!
