    Note: Marine Mammal Protection Act and Marine
    Mammal Protection Regulations In New Zealand: The flying of drones in less that 150m close to whales among other things is prohibited. I was unaware of this at the time, only aware that I should not be swimming with them. While a lot of the footage is shot high out of these parameters, there is some footage that is well under that so is Illegal. I have spoken with DOC (Department of Conservation) and now am aware of these rules. This is a good chance to make others aware of these regulations. I am writing this to inform others of this rule so hopefully you can be more aware and not do the same as I did! Cheers, Ollie

    Your footage is just as good, if not better than that of mainstream media. Your content is raw and full of calming experiences that are good for the mind and soul.

    Better and better every time. The effort you are putting into your shots and editing is clearly visible. I really enjoy the vibe of your videos. I can feel the love you have for the Moana and everything living in it. You are a true custodian and example of how to care for, enjoy, and preserve NZ's unique marine environment. Thanks Ollie

    Going bananas out there, mate. Stunning footage and much respect for the way you get a thrill from the whole experience, soaking in the amazing wildlife encounters around you as much as the fishing. Won't be long and the channel will explode, if there's any justice in RUclips land

    Absolutely epic footage Ollie! You've got some unreal footage of those whales and bait fish. So rad, that you can bring these moments to people who have no idea this type of action/behavior goes on in the ocean! Enjoyed every minute of the video. BTW The sinus squeeze is pretty painful when you dive with any type of head cold or congestion. Tried it a few times and swore I'll never do it again😂. The chances of forced equalization causing more damage is pretty high. Stay safe out there, and happy diving. Can't wait to see what's next! Cheers mate!
