Goat Island Marine reserve, New Zealand

A great example of how effective marine reserves are. If you haven't been here, take the time to check it out as the sea life is simply outstanding. This is what I managed to see in the 1.5hrs that I was there, but Im sure there is still a lot more to be seen.

Hi Nathan,
I would like to use some of this amazing footage in a video I'm making about Kina barrens in NZ. Do you have an email where we could discus this further?

Cool video - but I remember as a kid there used to be so many more fish. Like schools of tropical fish. Are they still there?

WOW what a stunning video! A few questions, first of all what camera are you using here? the footage is stunning :) Secondly, did you have to dive a lot to see everything? Or did you get just a good a view from the surface?? Thanks!

Wow new Zealand's waters are beatifule but people are polluting them

Is there a chance to have a shark encounter there? Is it safe to do snorkeling with teenagers?
