Poor Knights Islands in 4K - Living a Kiwi Life - Ep. 50

Poor Knights Islands are New Zealand's best known scuba diving site. The place is literally crawling with marine life. We swam through a cave with fish streaming through it and saw lots of different species along with some eels and stingrays! We did this trip with Dive Tutukaka and they were awesome.

About the Series:
Living a Kiwi Life is about a Canadian couple (me and Jenna) who have lived in Canada all our lives and made the decision to move to New Zealand having never gone there before. We quit our jobs, sold our houses and cars and left everything we knew to explore an unknown.

Fish are, in their own special way, so beautiful (: I loved this video!

[@Stokedforsaturday]

Thanks +Phoebe Grigor, the are memorising to watch. The guides were telling us a few of the species are very curious so they swim right up to your face (0:41 and 1:35).

Really nice! Would have loved to go scuba diving when I went to NZ half a year ago! Didn't have the time though... Anyway, great video. The place looks amazing and the colors are stunning! Love your Kiwi life series! Keep it up:)

[@Stokedforsaturday]

Hey +Johan Strömer, we didn't actually hear about Poor Knights until we had been for for a while, it's pretty special though. Definitely the most marine life I've seen in one place. We'll keep the episodes coming!

+Stoked for Saturday next time drive to leigh warkworth and go for a dive at Goat Island Marine Reserve there is a carpark .it's hard to explain but there is a beach with a island a short distant away.. right from the shore line there are so many different species of fish, they follow you around, you can see big crayfish, friendly massive snapper, big stingrays,, because it is a reserve there is no fishing so the place is full of fish. one big advantage is it free, www.wildlifeextra.co.nz/go/nz/goat-island.html#cr www.aucklandnz.com/discover/goat-island

[@Stokedforsaturday]

You're the second person that has mentioned Goat Island, it sounds awesome. We should definitely go there. Thanks for the tip!!

[@fluff1991]

Kia ora Jordan. Im a kiwi living in Palmerston North. I just wanna say welcome to you and your wahine to New Zealand (i know you guys have been here for a while). Thanks so much for your videos. they are very classy. Just subbed and followed you on instagram aswell. Btw, do you take your 5d underwater? if so what case do you use? I have a nikon d7000 that just got fixed and a couple gopros. Your videos are so cool, i just do it as a hobbie. i love filming but only edit when i can sit still and no good sports are on tv. Thanks again for showcasing our great country, i hope you get a lota views and subs to get that monetize up. holllaaaa haha Nga mihi, Kent

[@Stokedforsaturday]

Thanks Kent from Palmy! We'll keep the videos coming. I have an Outex case for my 5D but I didn't use it at Poor Knights Islands I just used the GoPro 4. The Outex latex case works ok for snorkelling and swimming around but i wouldn't trust is beyond 5 meters or so. Better to get a hard case for that. The GoPro struggled at bit at depth with the lack of light but it did a good enough job that we could make this video with it.

[@fluff1991]

+Stoked for Saturday nice videos man i thought these were shot with a dslr underwatee? Did you use protue? What do u use to colour grade?

[@grunzist]

Can you guys upload daily vlog here on youtube everyday... you guys are awesome

[@Stokedforsaturday]

Thanks +grunge man, not sure how interesting our vlogs would be during the week as we both work office jobs. We like to save our adventures for the weekend. We will be doing a few more vlog style videos in the future though. For right now snapchat is the best way to find some daily stories from us.

[@OXSEnterprises]

Nice! Those eels are gross ha

[@Stokedforsaturday]

Thanks +OXS Enterprises, this video was a little trickier because it's was mainly just with a GoPro on a selfie stick and the GoPro struggled not having enough light deeper down. Would have loved to have had a waterproof case for the DSLR!

[@OXSEnterprises]

Awesome effort still! Maybe some waterproof lighting would help, can't beat a big sensor though!

[@Stokedforsaturday]

+OXS Enterprises You're right, a big honking light would have been helpful at minimum. Maybe next time...

[@juniper1286]

how deep did you dive?

[@Stokedforsaturday]

Not very deep. I think the max we went to was around 50ft (15m)

[@Stokedforsaturday]

about 50 feet on this trip
