SPEARFISHING A HAUNTED SHIPWRECK (SS ALKIMOS) -AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURES

Kiaora Whanau,
Finally back online with another Kai down Under adventure, I've been incognito for a while working in the desert and transitioning my family from NZ to AUS.
I think the title of this video explains itself, in this episode I dive a supposedly haunted shipwreck that has been resting on the reefs north of Perth for the past 60 years. Things don't go to plan but the dive is still a success.
Check out some history on this old shipwreck below

Thanks for the comment, further Increasing exposure for the channel😂 Are you OK? Send a link for one of your videos please aunty?

You need the exposure

[@kaidownunder7870]

@mishmash9397 yep, more exposure the better🙌, that way we can send more positivity and motivation out into the world. I hope things get better for you mate and you stop trying to bring people down with your negative views to your level. It'll never work on me. Still waiting for your video too aunty... can't wait to see it 😅 ✌️✌️✌️

To all my subscribers that have followed from the start, thank you for continuing to do so, I've been out of action for some time now but hopefully can get more content out for you sooner rather than later. Life has been super tough and busy moving countries but starting to come right now 🤙 Churr!!

[@Ryza818]

love it bro! ill be moving from nz to perth in a few months too!

[@nOmeanNoOhhhh]

You allgoods bro. checking in. waiting patiently 😊

[@astrayalien]

Mate, you might want to check the rules on spearguns. Last time I was in that area I thought I saw signs prohibiting their use. I may be wrong, but the penalties are quite severe. Otherwise, it's a nice swim but visibility is usually fairly poor. There is a nice surf break a few hundred meters further out. Also every time I surfed the offshore reef I saw a tiger shark and I surfed there a lot in the 90's.

[@astrayalien]

You need a license to get Cray's and there is a season too.

[@kaidownunder7870]

@@astrayalien cheers bro, I'm not there anymore but when I was I did have a rec fishing and also cray licence🙃 Spearing was also legal there. Daunting thing was I heard there was a 5mtr great white spotted in that exact spot the day before this dive. You Aussie folk are a different breed diving with all these sharks!! Respect

[@jolenejewel1401]

You're not wrong bro, good to have the best piece of me with me again ✌️

[@hardstylefan5117]

Glad to see you have the family with you now mate , must of been a hard slog not having them beautiful people around you when you go home from working so hard. Have to say man big kahunas swimming out that far in WA with the big whites around ,would scare the crap out me doing that . Te up a trip north with the boys or fam , watch ybs youngbloods the water vis & fishing is crazy (he is a bit too but the best I’ve watched ) & from what I’ve seen no white monsters only tigers , keep up the good vids mate.

[@kaidownunder7870]

Chur bro, yea ,good to have my main people with me now, much more relaxed but still suck working away. The fear of sharks never goes away but you soon learn to live with it, there's no avoiding potential encounters really. I encountered my first 3mtr tiger shark a few months ago on my second dive here and luckily it showed no aggression. Haha just imagine Broady agreeing to dive with a Bundy like me😅🤣 love his videos

[@dougthemaori7099]

Chur brother dont worry about it cuz we all have those days, all good next time your out you'll smash it! Welcome to the west anyway cuz and welcome to Alkimos chur chur!

[@MrPaulv22]

Hey mate! Great vids. I hope all is going well now that your fam are here with you. I, too, have made the big move from the east and now live in Butler just recently. The west has got me.back into spearfishing. I dont know any people that spearfish around me. But I've been doing a few shore dives lately and loving what's out here. However, I do believe in having a buddy with you when out at sea. I see you're FIFO, but if you're keen for a shore dive on your down days and dont want to do it alone, I'd be happy to come out with you. I've found a good amount of Crays nearby. Cheers Paul.

Great vid brotha, u definitely need a cray noose over here, i tried for months without one until i gave in. The crays here have no defence so much more timid

The terrain is much different here bro. I have caught them here without a noose but probably would be easier

Good to see you got back in the water, embracing life in a different area, especially with the ohana is always an adventure to remember. Getting a feed is just a bonus, like to see the real experience regardless of the success. Thanks for sharing, keep it going.

[@kaidownunder7870]

Cheers brother, definitely refreshing to have the whanau close

[@KiwiKaimoana]

You should probably go back to that shipwreck one day, but do it on a boat with 2x dive buddies. The way I would do it is use a large inflatable with say 15hp, have 2x divers in the water as a pair and 1 stays on boat watching. If the 2x divers get in any trouble with current, they can signal for help and boatman can rescue. All divers in water to carry a safety sausage too, the signalling device scuba divers use. That way, any problems with current and the boat guy can rescue you. This is how I plan to dive Motunau island one day, it has currents too.

[@kaidownunder7870]

The plan is to go back one day in a boat yeah. Not too fussed on doing that anything soon. There are far better spots accessible by boat. Unfortunately this was the closest and fastest option I had to dive with the minimal time I had. A lot of thought went into it though and I definitely knew there would be current there. Glad I pulled away before it got too strong for my little ol legs

Aha😀 we making moves now💯💯💯

[@novizadventures]

Still a cool episode mate! I think once you get the diving sussed in WA youll find it really good. My mate also has dived a fair bit around Aus and said its the best cray diving around Perth - just will take some time to figure it out.

[@kaidownunder7870]

Yea cool brother, the biggest mission I've found here is that the reefs are quite far offshore and easy accessible shore diving spots are few and far. Ideally boat diving be the best bet here for sure. I don't doubt at all the Cray diving and underwater life here is awesome!!! Beautiful species everywhere

Hey bloke seen a tank breather using a dead fish to lure out the crays, seemed to work well! Drive safe🍻

There was a fish when you dived for those crays called a sea sweep good eating fish and when you get the chance try Jurien bay or sandy cape they not to far from each other nice dive place but love the content

[@joshsmith7999]

I've caught more 70+cm snapps in that area than all my time back in NZ. Dont get as many medium size fish but shitloads of 10 - 20 pounders. Get yourseld a kayak and you can access all the reefs about 1km out from the wreck, heaps of small kingies and Sambos out there too. At certain times of the year its nit uncommon for the free divers to get their 8 crays out of one ledge👌

Awesome bro, that gives me hope...love me a big snapper!!
