The visibility being that good would be a rare thing wouldn't it. I've watched a lot of your vids and diving vids and can't think of much better visually. Definitely deserves the one million views.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Hey Albert, The Alderman Islands is quite notorious for it's good visability!

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit it's crazy. I watch the lateral line lads too and some of the bird/fish schooling action of there's and yours is almost unbelievable. Hope things are going well for you and your family over there Ollie. Was just saying on another video you guys have been copping it from the weather gods pretty bad lately. Stay safe..

[@silver-en7kl]

Great white shark dinner. So many swimmers and free divers, surfers and scuba divers have found out the hard way. When u get a little too casual in the home of the great white shark, you become a meal.

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit The sea used to boil with fish at Devonport dockyard when the tide turned. Does it still do that or has it all changed? This was way back in 1966.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

@@newforestobservatory9322 not sure, but they still get big schools of kingis under the wharfs in summer so must be some bait fish around still, maybe kahawai?
