  • Join us as we head off on a ten-day trip to the spearfishing Mecca of Ha'apai, Tonga. We dive an active volcano and are lucky enough to shoot some big fish and swim with Sharks, Dogtooth tuna, Whales, Wahoo and even a Whale shark! Does diving get any better than this? It does, the backdrop is two volcanoes one of which is an active volcano that puffs away behind an awesome cone shaped Kao Volcano. This place is epic!

    Wow that was an amazing trip of a lifetime. You know you have a good ecosystem when sharks turn up at the click of a trigger and the smell of blood. 🦈🦈🦈

    • @sailingpopao
      @sailingpopao  3 года назад +1

      Hopefully one of many! Sharks are usually a good sign but not always of a healthy ecosystem, we rarely come across the top predatory sharks anymore and are seeing a larger number of smaller reef sharks. We don’t like it when the local shark population knows what the trigger click means!

      Didn’t see any of the big predatory sharks all season, not one tiger, no big hammers. Tonnes of grey reefs and a lot of silver fringe whalers.

Dogtooth are an extremely difficult fish to hunt, we use a Riffe Raidar but any bluewater gun should do it. You will need some serious lifting power though. Strong floatline, cable shooting line and big two atmosphere floats.
